The Bloody Turncoats

The Bloody Turncoats are an agglomeration of stupidity, ineptitude, and a severe aversion to manual labor. So, as common sense dictates, they decided that music was their natural outlet. Hailing from all over MN, a hotbed of punkless bands, The Bloody Turncoats set out to create a new kind of punk rock music.



The Bloody Turncoats consist of Karl Miller, Dean Johnson, and Lucas Rominger. Karl, a charming and soft-spoken fellow, who is not at all unlike a soap opera doctor, plays the guitar rather poorly. They'd throw him out of the band but he writes most of the songs so they're stuck with him. Dean Johnson is their drummer (seeing as how I am Dean Johnson I will only write glowing things about me. All of which are true). He is the most wonderful drummer in the world with a sense of percussive genius and impeccable groove but no feel for time whatsoever. Lucas Rominger is the bassist. His pit bull, Isis, will gladly tear you limb from limb and then expect you to toss an oddly shaped black chew-toy about the room for a good hour or so after which point she will finish satiating herself with your flesh. Additionally, he has the most fetching hair in the band and looks dapper in a black cowboy hat/trench coat ensemble. You cannot say the same about yourself.



Dean and Karl have been musically concocting for more than six years and have recorded four albums together, Death by Miss Adventure, Deathbed Repentance, Saboteurs, and The Bloody Turncoats Admire Your Skull. Lucas came on board about "very recently". They recently finished their latest EP, Mouthful of Pennies, and will be heading back to the studio later in '09 to record a few more tracks. They remain, inexplicably, unsigned.



Is that bio enough for you?
