Danger Bob
Anyone who has seen Danger Bob live will tell you that this Lawrence, Kansas, band is unique. With three full-length CD's released since 1992 ("Le Pop Shoppe", "MegaVega$", and "Girls of the Big 12"), Danger Bob has a solid fan base.
Bands they have played with over the years include Possum Dixon, They Might Be Giants, Too Much Joy, New Duncan Imperials, The Meatmen, The Outfield and countless others. In the past 7 years, they've gone through three vans, ten guitars, eight amps, umpteen cases of beer and one roadie.
Danger Bob will be playing their last show at the Bottleneck (Lawrence, KS) on July 31st. What does the future have in store for Danger Bob's members? Kenny will be moving to Austin to play The Playthings, Karl is moving to San Diego to continue work in music, and Andy and Jason will continue performing with Star 80.

Not Just Another Pretty Face- "I don't see so good." Karl with a "K" would be that guy in the front. His musical talents arenot simply vocal, because he also plays guitar and has written several of Danger Bob's songs, despite the fact that he claimsto be too young to have ever owned an 8-track, "How old do you think we are?" His most distinct memory from 1997 was getting electrocuted, which we can only assume would be the cause of his visual impairment.
Damn He's Fast- Do ya like cheese? Well, if so then you've got something in common with bassist Jason. He plucks out those cords so hard, deep and fast that fans may not notice that Andy is stagediving again. All you country music fans may be interested in knowing that Jason's favorite Judd is, "Wy-nonna." His hobbies include working on Asian sculptures and he hopes that 1998 will finally bring an end to his addiction to gay porn. Who knew?
Ellen Who?- OK, we still don't know who Molly is, but we do know that Majra is the spiritual medium who writes Danger Bob's songs and tells them how to dress, according to drummer and Lord of the Dance, Kenny. Referred to by fellow band members as Kenny G, he is not to be confused with that other saxy musician. However, when asked what secret he would like to share with his fans, he slyly revealed, "I'm not really bald." Hmmm...
Puttin' the "Punk" in Spunk- We're pretty sure he could kick you and your friend's ass. That "small guy with glasses" is arguably considered the sex symbol of the group. As the only member of Danger Bob who is down with Puff Daddy, his concerns extend deeper than the charms of his reputation. For example, when asked how he could change history, he replied, "I'd warn Lee Harvey Oswald not to eat lunch by himself that day."
