G.G. Elvis & the TCP Band are "Back From The Dead"

OK, so every now and then something truly bizarre drops on the Reverend's desk, and this is one of those things...veterans of such stalwart punk bands as NoFX, Bad Samaritans, Agression, Ill Repute, Stalag 13 and the notorious Dr. Know have teamed up to record a "punk" tribute to the late King of Rock, Elvis Presley.

So, before you start looking at your calendars to see if it's April Fool's Day, here's the punchline: Back From The Dead by G.G. Elvis and the T.C.P. Band will be released by Mental Records on June 24, 2008! The collection features Elvis classics like "Viva Las Vegas," "In The Ghetto," "Burning Love" and "Suspicious Minds" delivered as a cross between Presley and extreme punk icon G.G. Allin by the "Taking Care of Punk" band.

G.G. Elvis and the T.C.P. Band were formed in the summer of 2006 by Elvis fan, guitarist Tony Cortez of Ill Repute, with guitarist Dave Cassillas (formerly of of NoFX, Stalag 13 & Agression). Originally known as "Punk Rawk Elvis," the band went through numerous lineup changes before settling on Cortez and Cassillas, vocalist Eric Lara (Bad Samaritans), drummer Larry White (Agression, Stalag 13 & Dr. Know) and bassist George "Horhay" Snow (Bad Samaritans & Jughead's Revenge). Backing vocals are provided by "Little Sister," Sara Jo Merin. After only three rehearsals, G.G. Elvis and the T.C.P. Band debuted at the BYO Records-sponsored Punk Rock Bowling Tournament in Las Vegas, Presley's former stomping grounds.

Back From The Dead will be released in a limited special "scratch-n-sniff" edition with a bonus DVD with shocking videos, band interviews, photos and other special features. The Rev sez "check it out!"
