Sleazy Earl Ray and the 2 Drink Minimum

About Me

Sleazy Earl Ray and the 2 Drink Minimum have been playing music together for over seven years now. The two were members of the Chico-based alternative punk country five-piece the Asskickers and, since that band eventually disintegrated and because Sleazy and 2 Drink only live a block apart, and because the two appreciated having an excuse to get together once a week and drink beer, the duo was formed.2 Drink has been playing drums for years but switched to a home-made wash-tub bass or "gut-bucket" for this particular group.Sleazy plays guitar and sings and writes the bulk of the material for the duo.
