THIS TRANSMISSION JUST RECEIVED: THE EXOTIC ONES DEBUT ALBUM, "THE EXOTIC ONES GO APE WILD" IS A NOMINEE FOR BEST CD IN THE FIFTH ANNUAL RONDO HATTON CLASSIC HORROR AWARDS!! www.rondoaward.com

THE EXOTIC ONES
Yesterday’s Band of Tomorrow! (and vice versa)
Who are they? WHY are they? From the future, the stone age, outer space, THE GRAVE, and also from a side-ways reality they come. Their songs mix dark magic with quantum physics. It’s ATOMIC-AGE rock-n-roll with a 21st Century twist!
The E-1's combine all their favorite classic rock styles -rockabilly, psychodelia, surf-guitar, punk, what have ya, mix in a little theremin and hammond organ, and tell (slightly tall) tales of robots, circus trains, wild hillbilly parties, and hungry zombies!

♦ The Exotic Ones take their name from the title of the 1968 horror/cult film (which was also called The Monster and the Stripper) from Nashville’s “first family” of film, The Ormonds (Ron, June, and Tim).

♦ The E-1’s feature members of Nashville’s long-running Celtic favorites The Secret Commonwealth (also available on CDBABY), plus former members of Trauma Team, Dragula, and The Reverbians.

♦ E-1’s founder/lead singer Jack Hunter Daves, Jr. (“Hollerin’ Jack Starbilly”) passed away in 2004, after the E-1’s had played a mere dozen shows. The band was Daves’ dream project since even before he founded The Secret Commonwealth (1993-present).
After his death, The E-1’s opted not to search for a new lead singer, and now all five members share the vocal/songwriting duties. The E-1’s debut album, GO APE WILD, is dedicated to Daves’ memory, and includes two tracks recorded with Daves singing.

♦ The E-1’s wrote and performed “The Doctor is In”, the theme song for Nashville cable’s long-running show, “Chiller Cinema”, hosted by Dr. Gangrene.

When the E-1's visit Earth, they're welcomed at rock clubs, parties, festivals, and sci-fi/horror conventions...for a good time, call The Exotic Ones!
