It's a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.

About Me

Who is Al Swacker? Father, husband, son, Dj, Rock star, song writer, guitar player, bassist, singer, anarchist, agnostic,punk, greaser, mod, promoter, artist, functional drunk, etc...
Born in '68 and raised on rock and roll, I am the host of the Greaser's Lunchbox on KDHX St. Louis, FM 88.1 (kdhx.org on the web). The show airs 10am-noon central time on Thursdays. 10 am is not a usual lunchtime but the show has only been in this timeslot since 2004. From 1999-2004 it was on Mondays at noon, hence the name. The Greaser's Lunchbox is any music I find worthy of airtime with the main focus being rockabilly and psychobilly. If you have a band and wish to be aired, send TWO copies of cd to: Al Swacker and the Greaser's Lunchbox c/o kdhx 3405 Magnolia St. Louis, Mo. 63118 and be sure to specify that one copy is for me personally.
I play in two bands. I am the guitarist for the punk, country, blues band known as The Devil Baby Freakshow. We have two lovely female singers (one that tap dances), bass, guitar (me), drums and trumpet. We play everything from Loretta Lynn to the Misfits with many originals. We play the St. Louis are frequently and we always kick ass.
I am the Bassist/co-singer for the punk rock power trio known as the Lindbergh Babies. Formed out of the ashes of my previous band the UnMutuals, we are vulgar and pissed off and it shines in our lyrics.
Band history: 1989-1991 lead singer of Bone Orchard-Tom Delgado/drums,Sean Haley/guitar, Jeff Hess/bass.
1991-? first bassist for the SAW IS FAMILY. too many members to count. No end date because once a member, always a member.
1993 bassist for Seattle hardcore band Chicken. Tim Sutton/guitar, Tony Sutton/guitar, Jim/vocals, Hurricane Luther White/drums
1993-2002 guitar and vocals for Drunkabilly. Jeff Hess/drums and bass, Ray Johnson/bass and guitar. This was the meat of the band other members throughout the years include: Jason Edge, Robin Allen, Bob Leach, Jason Rerun, Steve Dachroeden and Rick Dachroeden.
1999-2001 rhythm guitar and vocals for the Loaded 45's. Jeff Hess/drum, Bob Leach/guitar, Ryan Oconnor/upright bass.
2001-2006 rhythm guitar and vocals for the CrazyBeats. Craig Petty/guitar, Ryan Oconnor/bass, Kevin Oconnor and Dirty Ernie/drums.
2002-2006 guitar and vocals for the UnMutuals. Jeff Hess/bass and Vocals, Mark Reynolds/guitar and vocals, Steve Dachroeden/drums and vocals.
I also do punk rock/rockabilly/rock and roll record spins at bars and parties and occasionally dj for Clownvis Presley. If you need a dj for your club/party/wedding etc. drop me an email here. (music preference is wide open). For band bookings also email me here.
