THE MARY TYLER WHORES
Who can arouse the world with a smile? Who can take a miserable day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Better still, who can sponsor an on-stage, punk rock, food fight, inviting fans to attend a show and pelt band members with fruits, vegetables, and yes… burgers? Better yet, did I also mention a prosthetic leg! And as the support for Iggy Pop, he is hysterically amused from the side of the stage! Well now, human evolution bred a twisted madness, leading to the undisputed batshit-craziest, punchy-punk rock band with a hint of sleaze, The Mary Tyler Whores… Howard Stern’s favorite band Name, seriously.
A brutal, yet melodic gut-punch that attacks you in the middle of a venue-wreckin’ concert! It’s aggressive, it’s intimidating, it’s provocative, it’s hilarious as hell, and all begins around 2000 and sumthin in South FlOr-i-DuH with Frankie “Crime” Cassara, vocalist and lead scoundrel, Doobie Tyler Whore on guitar, and the late Joey Image R.I.P., original drummer for proto-hardcore pioneers, The Misfits. They were destined to influence the masses from the start, and fans quickly became infatuated with The Mary Tyler Whores’ megaton blast of twisted punk fury and famous on-stage antics like nothing you’ve seen or heard. From food fighting to ripping it up live, The Mary Tyler Whores gratefully joined some friends a’ la The Misfits (R.I.P. Joey), Iggy Pop, U.S. Bombs, GBH, The Casualties, Murphy’s Law, and The Bouncing Souls on stages to further breed their intense brand of madness!
Fast forwarding to 2023, and transplanted for over a decade to Southern California, the timing was perfect for Frankie “Crime” Cassara to meet up with his best offrienders again and reawaken the savagery of The Mary Tyler Whores! Frankie buzzed Doobie first in Vegas, and they brought back four of the five members from the original band, founder- vocalist Frankie “Crime” Cassara, MTW’s co-founder- rhythm guitarist “Doobie” Tyler Whore, master beater George “Korky” Kokkoris, lead guitarist Rob Deuce, and new addition, Frankies’ longtime henchman on bass, Aaron “The Proj” Miller, and now these vagabonds are revitalized and ready to tour the world and disrupt a city near you as true punk agents of chaos!
So without further ado, Frankie immediately buzzes his old skool buddy and childhood mentor, “Thee legendary Greg Hetson” (Circle Jerks / Bad Religion) to sign on, witness and produce this 12 song masterstroke of a record at his own Hetson Sound Studios, Encino, CA. These sessions of catastrophic enlightenment spawned their upcoming album titled: “As Filthy As We Wanna Be” to be released on Golden Robot Records in 2024. During the “As Filthy As We Wanna Be” Hetson Sound sessions, Fishbone’s iconic Angelo Moore was summoned to the studio to enthusiastically collaborate with MTWs’ Frankie “Crime” Cassara… and they roared with maniacal laughter all funkin night long. Dr. Madd Vibe conjured up his arsenal of alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones to compose, arrange and record the horns for the spy-creeper punk-jam “Clamjacked”, and even chatted out his signature vocal banter.
January 2024, The Mary Tyler Whores shoot their mini movie on location in Hollywood for their first single “White Trash Girl” and another accompanied live video for “American Sex Fiend’’. “White Trash Girl” is a hum-dinging, beer-swigging, mutha-trucker anthem of a song. The music video is a tearjerking story of triumph, heartbreak and deception, guest starring TV personality / host and punk-rock goddess, Erin Micklow, while “American Sex Fiend” is a ferocious, stripped down, below-the-belt, punk as balls live flick. Written and directed by Daryl Scott for Money $ Punk Productions, Edited and VFX by Faust at Infinivision Media, and shot by Jose Rodriguez and Veneko Media.
“The Mary Tyler Whores are thrilled to ink a global deal with Golden Robot Records! We are grateful for this opportunity, and much respect to the Golden Robot family for believing in our twisted vision of punk fury and extreme rock ‘n’ roll. Stoked to bring this circus on the road worldwide, “As Filthy As We Wanna Be” 2024”! - Frankie “Crime” Cassara
