Description
PLEASEEASAUR (Please-ee-uh-saur) flashes the unholy nexus between the sheer relentlessness of Godzilla and the pleasures of pleasure.An astonishing two-man entertainment strike-force comprised of performer/musician JP Hasson and projectionist/costume designer Thomas Hurley III. Both raised in bucolic rural Western Washington, Pleaseeasaur have taken their act to the streets of the world and have now reached the top of the international comedy pile by signing a 7 year contract with Comedy Central.
A dynamic duo that specializes in the absurd...and the absurdly funny. From the commercial jingle-esque hits like “No Prob Limo” or “Pizza Bros. and Sons Inc.” to the educationally motivated “WARNING: These Cobras are Totally Cool” Pleaseeasaur’s ever-expanding field of inspiration is similar to that of a deep space vacuum where equal parts surreal lunacy, pop orthodoxy, literary syntax, infomercial music and sheer idiocy are culled, cultivated and transformed into classic Pleaseesaur song form and then dispensed with glee to pleasure seekers of every ilk amongst their rapidly growing world-wide cult following.
JOE JACK TALCUM
Joe Jack Talcum is the former guitarist and sometimes vocalist for the Dead Milkmen. He was the early creative force behind the band, giving them their name before they were even formed. Compared to most Dead Milkmen songs, the ones where Joe sings tend to be a little less sarcastic and more silly - with the exception of "Methodist Coloring Book." Talcum's vocals are snotty, but not in an overly serious way. They are simple, stripped down and, in a peculiar way, very melodic. His latest release is Photographs from the Shoebox.
CHRIS GARCIA
“Comedian Chris Garcia shows his balls. Literally. In the ‘American Apparel’ video clip online, Garcia and co-mocker Ali Wong appear wearing workout clothes, doing some moves, making a mockery of a certain clothing company. But it goes awry as Garcia, in a stretchy bronze leotard and thigh-high sweat socks, lets his butt cheeks sort of … flap. It's really surprising. But it's not as surprising as the head-between-the-legs shot of Garcia chanting "Toronto!" or "Wristbands!" while letting his balls flap. They're blurred out a little, sure, but there they are. Right there.” - SF Weekly
