About Me

The Knuckleheads (Michael Hannon and Spencer White), authors of the cult classic/internet phenomenon "Tommy Made Owen Wilson Cry," are a rollicking, galvanic acoustic musical comedy duo. Michael, the voice of VH1's "100 Hottest Hotties," Court TV's "Body of Evidence," and the Discovery Channel's "The Prosecutors," is a grizzled veteran of hundreds of radio and TV commercials. Spence is retired with only 7 to his credit. (But he did carry a spear in "Hamlet" on Broadway in 1995, so why don't you put that in your bong and smoke it.) Having lovingly stunk up the stages of Boston Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Don't Tell Mama, and numerous other venues in and around NYC, the Knuckleheads are favorites on the nationally syndicated "Joey Reynolds Radio Show," the "Two Guys Named Chris Morning Show" in Greensboro, NC, Baruch College's WBMB-FM in New York, ESPN Radio in Dallas, and the insanely lucrative Westchester bar mitzvah circuit. Their mega-viral Youtube hit, "Pony Up!" , unofficial fight song of the SMU Mustangs, is played regularly on the Ford Stadium jumbotron . They are proud members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, USA, and they produce and host "Hoboken Elks Comedy Night," a professional comedy showcase at the historic Hoboken Elks Lodge.
"Live at the Sidewalk," their first full length CD, is available for purchase at CD Baby.
In addition, individual Knucklefunk tracks are up for download on Napster, Rhapsody, and Itunes.
