History

Early life

Toothless George was raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He was turned onto punk rock in 1985 accidentally, while attending North Coventry Elementary. He said in Scratched Magazine, “Me becoming a punk rocker had nothing to do with the music. I listened to New Edition, and L.L. Cool J. No one would let me sit at their lunch table except the punk rock kids. That why I’m a punk rocker. I got into the music later.”

Musical history

One of the first bands that Toothless George played in was the straight edge hard core band Bound By Blue with Matt Summers and Matt Smith. After Bound By Blue disbanded, he and Smith performed in the punk rock group Mao & The Chinese Revolution from their beginning in 1987 until they disbanded in 1993. They released one 7” on Creep Records. Soon thereafter, George founded the Halflings with Matt Drastic They ultimately broke up in 1996. They had released four 7” vinyl records, and were featured on twelve various artist compilations. When he was released, George put the band back together with Steve Ferrell and Dave Sausage but never played out with that line up.
In 2001, George joined The Bedrockers, with his older brother Ed Rocker. While with The Bedrockers, George started performing as a one-man band on the side- playing guitar, bass drum, snare drum, two tambourines, harmonica, and singing simultaneously. When The Bedrockers broke up in 2003, the one-man band became his full-time band. He has released two e.p.’s, one full album, and has been featured on three compilations.
Toothless George, and girlfriend, Cole Della-Zucca started The Percocettes together in 2006. They have released two c.d.’s to date, and have performed hundreds of shows in The United States, Europe, and Japan.
In 2007, Toothless George was awarded Barrymore Award for a theatrical musical he wrote with Brat Productions.
