About Me

One of the COOLEST bands to ever hail from Minneapolis was...BILLY CLUB. Formed by members of (The Most Awesome Band in the Universe !) The Fuckin' Shit Biscuits...Bill Bailey and Ron Parker..Billy Club performed throughout the Minneapolis Scene from 1987 thru 1993...releasing two CDs in the process. The main recording & performing band members were...Melvin Johnson: Lead Vocals/Guitar/Bass/Percussion, Tom Gensmer: Lead Vocals/Guitar/Harmonica, Dana Bailey: Lead Vocals/Keyboards, John Hartley: Lead Vocals/Bass/Guitar and Bill Bailey: Lead Vocals/Drums/Percussion. Their style of music ranged from Prince style Funk to Garage Punk...and EVERYWHERE inbetween. Please ENJOY the songs !!!
