Sloppy J started in the fall 2010 as the colorful co-host of a local bar’s open mic night. After being 86′d from the suburban (er) ‘hotspot’ for possessing an aesthetic (& other things), Sloppy J soon reformed in 2012 under the name “Sloppy J & the Overdubs”, adding kazoo, whistling, yodeling, & various barnyard sound FX to the olio of oddities. Known far and wide as a legendary siffleur & ardent punk rocker, Sloppy J has played with numerous projects in the past and has opened for such eclectic acts as Marc Ribot, Pere Ubu, War, & The Village People.
Sloppy J resides in all of us. “I am that I am, and if that happens to be that I am chunky, obnoxious and mindless, so be it. I have a moral obligation to my god, yes…but only if that god is a black militant lesbian named Desweetest.”
