Fat Elvis

About Me

Fat Elvis was Formed in March of 2003. That's When Randy Stukenberg (Guitar) and Dave Homuth (Drums) met Elvis at a truckstop. Elvis was eating country fried steak and a side of biscuits and gravy. The three chatted about music and Star Trek over chocolate milks. Randy and Dave convinced Elvis to join the band they were forming. Elvis was hesitant at first, but then gave in to the thought of being on stage and in the limelight again. Randy then recruited long time friends Tim Tyszka (lead guitar) and Greg Pender (Bass) to complete the line-up. They had just got home from their tour with Jessica Simpson, performing as back-up dancers. Once the band was formed, the name came easy. It was obvious Elvis was out of shape from all those greasy spoons. So,they decided to embrace this concept and call the band Fat Elvis. Fat Elvis plays music from the 80's, 90's to current hits and some Elvis. They have a full PA system and enough material to play all night. Their stage presence, humor and song selection is sure to please any crowd. They have won the RAMI for the best Pop/Retro band two years in a row 2007-2008.
