Jim "Hoolie" DeCaire
Singer, songwriter, occasional drummer and leader of the
band Da Yoopers.
Hoolie started his musical career with the famous yooper band Mutti
and the Martians. DeCaire believes that all musicians are aliens by
origin and that the band will eventually be picked up by an alien
space ship. He is preparing the band to spend the rest of their lives
playing music and spreading culture throughout the universe.

Lynn-Too-Burger" Bellmore
Singer, keyboard player, bookings.
Lynn was discovered while playing organ at the local movie house in
Ishpeming by Hoolie DeCaire. Hoolie was devastated when his old piano
player ran off with a woman from Green Bay because she had a new pick
up truck. Hoolie was so impressed by Lynn's fast hands he offered
her $5.00 a show - she went for it.

Jim
"Schween-Bella Bunna"
Bellmore
Singer, guitarist, songwritter.
Hoolie discovered "Schween" playing his blazing gaddar
licks in a 60's group called "The Psychedelic Beavers". Hoolie
was so intrigued by "Schween's" insistence that "all music died after
the 60's and any music released other than 8-track tape or vinyl is
crappola," that He hired him on the spot, not because "Schween"
was so cool looking in his bell-bottoms, but because he is still waiting
- with baited breath - for the next Doors album to be released.
He believes that Jim Morrison is alive and living in Eben. Hoolie
thought, 'this is dedication' and anyone who believes this belongs
with Da Yoopers group.

Bobby
"No one calls me Bob" Symons
Drummer.
Body-man Bob came up with the concept of combining a fast-food restaurant
with a body shop. Bob thought it would be neat if the customer could
wait and eat while their cars were being fixed. He sunk his life savings
into this venture, but never could afford to buy a microwave to thaw
out the pasties and smelt. So, he went belly-up after the first week
and now plays drums (occasionally with his lips) for Da Yoopers.

Reggie
"Reggae-La-Sardine"
Lusardi
Singer, bassist.
Made famous playing bass for Elmo and the Gumps, which played all
over Yooperland and spread their new style of heavy metal polka called
Polka Metal. Sadly to say, the band broke up because of lack of jobs.
He now hunts and fishes, farts on stage and performs with Da Yoopers.

Robert
"Dill-Dere-Dough"
Nebel
Actor, etc.
Robert graduated from Da Yoopers School for the Truly Ungifted with
a bachelors degree in Nachos 101. Da Yoopers hired Dill to manage their
daily menus while they travel. He knows what beef sticks and microwaveable
burritos are nutritionally the best and what type of pizza has the most
to offer in the five basic food groups. He has the ability to fall asleep
in any impossible physical position and in any setting. He also preaches
the fact that any cheap cut-out bin CD compliments the flavor of a seething,
humid cream-puff.

RJ Gulley
RJ Gulley - Sales Table.
Hoolie discovered his grandson RJ's talents a couple years ago while
having a rummage sale at home. Hoolie asked RJ to watch the table while
he ran to the bathroom. When Hoolie returned 10 minutes later, everything
in the garage had sold. Hoolie was amazed and asked RJ how many customers
he had. RJ said only one, the Mail-Man!
Hoolie asked RJ how he did it,
RJ replied, "it's all in the presentation"
Hoolie hired RJ to handle the sales table on the spot!
(and besides dat, he can add a lot better den Grandpa! -Hoolie) |
