Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Barnes & Barnes, Weird Al Yankovic â and Knuckleheadz: Father/Son Rap Group?
That last act, from Roanoke, has something cool in common with the aforementioned purveyors of weird and cool music. Theyâve all been atop radio living legend Dr. Dementoâs playlist in recent weeks.
Demento, aka Barry Hanson, has been spreading the gospel of what he calls âmad music and crazy comedyâ since the 1970s, but the Radio Hall of Fame member isnât on that medium these days. Listeners can subscribe to his show on the internet, though, where he has tens of thousands of followers. Many of them recently showed love for Knuckleheadz, aka Stephen âStevie Dâ Davies and his 8-year-old son, Jax.
