[edit] Career
[edit] With the Dead Milkmen (1983-1995)
Main article: The Dead Milkmen
Genaro founded The Dead Milkmen in 1983, initially establishing the
group as a bedroom-based home-recording project with a mythological
back-story prior to their evolution into a traditional four-piece band
shortly thereafter. The members of the group regularly employed
pseudonyms, and Genaro most frequently called himself "Joe Jack Talcum"
(stemming from the character of Jack Talcum that Genaro had imagined as
the leader of the band in their mythology) in the context of the group,
although he also used the names "Butterfly Fairweather" and "Jasper
Thread" on certain records.
The band's debut LP, Big Lizard in My Backyard, was released in 1986,
and their initial twelve-year career saw some college radio and MTV
success, notably surrounding singles "Bitchin' Camaro" (1986) and "Punk
Rock Girl" (1988). Genaro acted as the group's guitarist, co-lead
vocalist and co-songwriter, and occasionally played keyboards and piano.
They disbanded in 1995.
[edit] As a solo artist (1984-present)
Genaro has consistently recorded solo material since the early 1980s.
Between 1984-1999, he self-released a handful of cassette tapes composed
of home recorded songs. A four-piece group calling itself Butterfly Joe
(after one of Genaro's pseudonyms, and featuring Dead Milkmen drummer
Dean Sabatino on drums) assembled to perform Genaro's solo material and
released a self-titled, full-length album in 1999. In 2005, the
Virginia-based Valiant Death label released a CD of material from
Genaro's home recordings. Under the name Joe Jack Talcum, his latest
release is Photographs from the Shoebox, a split LP/CD with Mischief
Brew released in 2008 on Fistolo Records. Genaro frequently performs
solo live sets. In July 2009 he embarked on his "North to the Future"
tour, playing venues in Alaska for the first time.[2]
[edit] Other projects (1987-present)
Other groups Genaro has played with include Ornamental Wigwam (circa
1987, a two-piece with Dead Milkmen bassist Dave Schulthise), Touch Me
Zoo (1990-1997), The Town Managers (1996-2000), The Fresh Breaths
(2000), The Low Budgets (2000-present, on hiatus as of 2008), and Ukebox
(circa 2006). Generally a guitarist, Genaro has also played bass guitar
(in the cases of the Town Managers and Ukebox) and organ (in the case of
the Low Budgets) in these bands. He has also formed a large number of
home recording-based groups, including Jiffy Squid (circa 1993), We're
Not From Idaho (circa 1995), Sock (1993-1998) and The Cheesies (circa
2003-present).
[edit] Dead Milkmen reformation (2004, 2008-present)
After the death of bassist Dave Schulthise, the three surviving members
of The Dead Milkmen reunited for two concerts in 2004, joined by Low
Budgets bassist Dan Stevens. In 2008, the band properly reformed with
Stevens as a full-time member, and have been performing sporadic
concerts and working on new material [3].
