Comedy Rock Band Throwing Toasters Combines The Hilarious Songwriting Style Of Tenacious D With The Onstage Energy Of Barenaked Ladies. The Primary Difference Is That All Of Their Songs Are Clean. There Is Only One Band Member Grant Baciocco The Rest Of The Members Of Seem To Be Figments Of Grant’s Imagination. Grant Cites “Weird Al” Yankovic As Being The One Who Started Him Down The Road Of Comedy Music. “I Think Al’s "Eat It!" Was The First Real Comedy Song I Remember Hearing. I Loved That He Was Making Fun Of What Was Popular At The Time.” It Would Be The Comedy Music DJ Dr. Demento Though Who Would Open His Eyes To All Comedy Music Has To Offer. “Because Of Dr. Demento I Started Listening To The Smothers Brothers Tom Lehrer Bob Newhart And My Hero Stan Freberg. These Guys All Proved That You Can Be Funny Without Being Dirty.” Baciocco Carries This Tradition Forward By Writing Original Comedy Songs That Try To Go For Real Laughs Without Vulgarity. Grant Started Out Writing Song Parodies Like That Of Weird Al In Junior High And High School In Northern California. After Graduating With A Degree In Theater From Long Beach State University In California Grant Taught Himself How To Play Guitar And Started Writing All Original Songs About Daily Observations Lines At A.T.M. Machines People Who Give Away The Endings Of Movies And The Legal Side Of Nursery Rhymes. Even Though Grant Will Swear Up And Down That There Are Other Members Of Throwing Toasters No One Has Ever Seen Them. Grant Always Takes The Stage Alone With His Guitar And Has Some Excuse As To Why The Rest Of The Members Couldn’t Make It. Throwing Toasters Has Toured Colleges And Clubs All Over The United States And Played At The Tokyo Dome In Japan Helping To Open The 2003 – 2004 NFL Season. In 2007 Throwing Toasters Opened For ”Weird Al” Yankovic On His STRAIGHT OUTTA LYNWOOD Tour. read less
