HOME BASE: Hoboken
STYLE: One of the longest-running live acts on LBI, the band’s massive sets are comprised of classic rock and current pop, memorable medleys, hilarious on-stage banter and a generous helping of funk.
LINEUP: Jim “Spaz” Garcia, lead vocals and bass; Peter “Stretch” Oltmanns, guitar; Mike “Mongo” Spiro, keys and vocals; Jack “Biff” Yocum, drums.
INSIDE TRACK: The band was formed in 1985, the year after the cult classic film “Revenge of the Nerds” was released. Spiro signed on after the band’s original keyboardist, Ed Casanovas, passed away in 1995, and the foursome has been together ever since.
TWO’S TAKE: Forget everything you learned in high school. Being a nerd totally rocks.
