Worm Quartet is a regular on the legendary Dr. Demento radio show, and had the most requested song of 2004 with the ex-girlfriend ode "Great Idea For A Song" and the second most requested song of 2002 with the anti-drummer rant "Frank's Not In The Band Anymore," as well as collaborating with Sudden Death on the most requested song of 2005, "Inner Voice."

The sole member of Worm Quartet is a 6'4" 300-lb. sweaty bemulleted maniac named Shoebox who is under court order to stay away from chickens.

Sudden Death

Sudden Death is one of the premiere musical comedy acts on the scene today. Fronted by comedian Tom Rockwell of New Jersey Sudden Death has become one of the most popular artists on the nationally syndicated Dr. Demento Show. Their song "Inner Voice" was the most requested song of 2005.

Sudden Death broke onto the scene in 1998 when "South Park Junkie"- the first song Dr. Demento aired about South park- became the 4th most requested song of the year. Since then Sudden Death has had several number one hits on the show including "Spam," a song about junk emails, and "Ozzman," a backhanded tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.

Sudden Death performs regularly across the country at music clubs, comedy clubs, and science fiction conventions. The live show features Tom Rockwell usually performing solo along with videos and animations synchronized with the music. The show often features costume changes, props, and even puppets. The end result is a hilarious show that goes over very well for a variety of audiences.

In 2005 Sudden Death released a new album called Die Laughing which features the songs mentioned above plus other hilarious original songs and parodies. For more information visit the official Sudden Death web site at www.suddendeath.org.
