"Foxy” Roxy Von
Popov - Bass, Vocals
Roxy was
born in the blues of Chicago
then moved
to L.A. in pursuit
of an
acting career, tragically
cut
short when she
took a swing at Robert Stack
on the
set of a TV movie. Turning
to the
mic to make ends meet, Roxy fronted
the now
legendary
Half Human
and
FlufferNutter
before turning
her sights to NYC.
Final plans were hammered out one vodka-drenched night when Otto met Roxy in a downtown dive. Thus was born one of the greatest bands you've never heard of - The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails.

Otto
Wino - Guitar, Vocals
Origins unknown.
Rumored to be the unwanted bastard child of
hobo gypsy tramps, Otto was abandoned at birth
and discovered in a battered oak barrel placed
at the rear entrance of the notorious Rusty
Bucket of Blood Saloon and Bait Shoppe. Raised
by gangster molls, bar flies, and wharf rats,
he quickly developed a taste for booze, broads,
the blues and broiled flounder topped with a
zesty citrus salsa. When the rotted carcass of
a vintage Gibson strung with barbed wire came
into his possession via a lethal schoolyard
game of Dead Eye Jacks, young Otto knew he had
found his calling – throat-ripping raunch and
roll straight up without a chaser. Hobbies
include grifting, drifting and riffing.

Harvé
Bangwaller - Keyboards, Vocals,
Webmaster
Born in the mid-18th century to an impoverished
emigré couple in the Soviet Republic of
Stanthemanistan. His mother, Mrs. Dr. Emma
Gray, was a renowned eurosurgeon, while his
father, Dr. Mr. M. A. Gray, was a classical
composer who established the German School of
Schottische-Hiphopische. Suddenly Barfli Gray,
as he was named at birth or thereabouts (or
perhaps a little sooner), was born - the
oft-sprung offspring of celebate parents.
Because his early piano studies were influenced
by both parents, none of the recognized
conservatories would accept him as a student,
claiming that his use of scalpels damaged their
instruments. Sensing the genius that lay
underneath the bloodstains and lacerations, the
famed composer-pianist Franzthemanz "Laundry"
Liszszsts took him under his wing. In
gratitude, Mrs. Dr. Gray performed the infamous
surgery which replaced Liszszsts' wing with a
regular arm. Barfly switched gears in midstream
and became the first spiritualist-pianist,
under the pseudonym Harvê Bangwaller. Soon he
was celebrated in all the great salons and
saloons of Europe, channeling the works of
composers who would be unknown centuries later
when they came to be born. His new-found
success was abruptly ended during a
demonstration of Thomas Edison's invention, the
Pantaloonicator, which somehow went amok and
mangled Bangwaller's hands into very
interesting but non-functional shapes. His
concert career over, Bangwaller came to the
decision to begin playing the rock
music, because "jeder
kann diese Scheiße spielen." (The
Pantaloonicator never again saw the light
of day.)
Dickie
Melonball - Sound Master
Dickie’s soul was scheduled to be delivered to
Liverpool, England in 1951, but due to a
paperwork snafu he showed up in the backseat of
a ‘41 Ford business coupe in Omaha, Nebraska on
a cold December morning near the end of 1962.
Born the seventh son of a seventh son, Dickie
never knew his father -- a traveling circus
worker whose claim to fame was the (uncredited)
invention of the wah-wah pedal and getting
drunk and beating up midgets. That was Cole.
Raised by relatives on a steady diet of corn
whiskey and gospel music, Dickie knew from an
early age that sharecropping was not his bag,
so he did the whole deal with the Devil thing
and devoted himself to The Music. And to the
Devil.
After years of hard drinking, hard living and hard candy, Dickie fell in with seminal ill-fated barn rockers, The Cow Tippers, where he developed his gold-plated ear and signature sound. Now drunk, toothless and hard of hearing, Dickie somehow brokered a deal that allowed him to keep his soul and cement his place as guardian of The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails' magical sound. What he gave up in the bargain, we will never know.
