About Me

The story of the Detroit Grand Pubahs is a story about fun, funk and forked personalities. Originally founded by Paris The Black Fu and Andy Toth (Dr. Toefinger) in Detroit back in 1998 todays Pubahs consist of Paris, his alter egos and the Mysterious Mr O: butcher extraordinaire. His talents with a meat cleaver are bar none, and his handsome features just are beyond explanation. Chiseled and rugged good looks are at an all time low, but he certainly knows how to get the party started right just what the Pubahs needed, more fuel to the fire.
Mr. O was asked to join the Detroit Grand Pubahs by Paris after previous member Dr Toefinger had to be cryogenicly frozen due to a freak accident in the lab, in which Toefinger became a vegetable. Things didnt improve for Toefinger so the plug had to be pulled.
Mr O, a former butcher, who had previously appeared in Butcher n Bitches magazine in which he stated I always always interested in making music, but never quite find the right way to express myself to the fullest. When Paris approached me to join him in his Pubahs antics I grabbed the opportunity feeling this was where I could finally be myself. Being a big fan of the Pubahs and knowing all the songs joining the Black FU outfit was easy.
He began touring in the Pubahs as they joined Steve Bugs label PokerFlat Recordings releaseing the hit single The Clapper followed up with the LP Galactic Ass Creatures From Uranus.
Since then the non stop techno /electro cabaret act has been all around the world and back taking their electronic lo fi funk into titty bars and large festivals alike.
Mr.Os other role within the Pubahs is label manager for their recently started Det.Ele.Funk label (which stands for Detroit Electro Funk). Their label saw its first release in November 2005 with "Assistance From An Unknown Source". Their forthcoming releases will feature many guest appearances from Pubahs co-horts such as The Advent, Billy Nasty, Deetron, to name a few.
