 | Name: Sideshow Jake DOB: 04/28/1989 Birth Place: White Cliffs of Dover, UK Instrument: Lead guitar/backing vocals Skills: Nun-chucks, headbanging, and hurricane kicks Bio: Originally from somewhere deep underground, Sideshow Jake came as the result of a rather scandalous affair involving Tina Turner and a large group of cavemen. Growing up in a cave full of music and meaningless grunting, Sideshow Jake found a deep passion for the art of rock and roll. Through the years Jake rocked long and hard with various bands, such as The Lunchbox Of Flavors, and The Pulsating Chest Blisters. However these bands were holding Jake back, and he knew that he would never unleash the rock within him while stuck with his current possey. Destiny took its course though, as Jake was strolling down the steers of Hollywood. The melodious cries of the Truncated Strings rang loud, bringing him to his knees in hot tears. He knew, that this was his calling, he was to follow this trio of genius to the homeland of rock and roll; Grand Rapids, Michigan. From then to the end of time, he was to be Sideshow Jake; Lead guitar and final component of the hardest rocking band this world has ever known… Truncated Strings. |

As a youngster, he began to perfect his skills as a showman by hosting many of the carny games played on the midway. He was different than most carnies though, his fingers weren't shaped like hotdogs, he did not smell of cabbage, and he had all of his teeth. According to his father, "The Goat Man", T-Bone was the chosen one, the heir to the thrown of the Bordeaux Carnival. However, it was cut short, when T-bone was caught by his father committing the ultimate carny sin, bathing more than once in a month. T-Bone was cast out and ordered never to return to the carnival, and although it was hard for T-Bone to walk away from the glitz and glamour of the carnival lifestyle, he believed there was more to life than just being a macho elephant ear salesman. He had deep seeded hunger for rock and roll!! So he headed north from Ohio, to end up in Grand Rapids. After arriving and struggling to find a gig, he began working at a fruit stand selling apples that were rejected by a local pig farmer. This is where he met up Heinz & Mr. Buckets. T-Bone is best known for his dominant mullet, speedy bass riffs, and incredibly corny 80's rock gestures. |

Discovered in 2004, during an un-aired episode of Survivorman, Mr. Buckets was brought to medical facilities in Grand Rapids, MI for testing and observation. While completely unable to communicate with humans, Mr. Buckets proved to be a fast learner in other areas. During his testing, he was introduced to several pieces of technology; including video game consoles. The only game he showed interest in was Guitar Hero II, and strangely enough, only played it using a standard Xbox 360 controller. In an effort to enhance his human-ness, Mr. Buckets was introduced to a group of young men in the Grand Rapids area. They were charged with the duties of showing him "a good time" and how to act like a normal 22-year old. While at the market, a German man named Franz Heinzenveinerschnauwser (commonly known as "Heinz") assisted Mr. Buckets in purchasing a bushel of apples. The two became best of friends. They later joined T-Bone, Razor, and Sideshow Jake to become the most unique Rock Band parody group outside of Uzbekistan. Mr. Buckets is now married, and has a daughter. The band's back-up keyboardist, Sleeve, was the best-man at Mr. Bucket's wedding. |
