The Troops

Major Hassle
Dave Columbus
Drums, Lead vocals, keys
Dave has been in a number of bands over the years, but is possibly best known for helping put together Show Me Yours. Dave, while an energetic and passionate drummer, is also a great singer. He also plays keys and writes music when he isn't coaching his sons baseball and basketball teams. Dave's energy is infectious and communicates itself to the audience through his insistent beat.

Colonel Drink
Tommy Gorski
Bass /Vocals
Tommy has been rocking the Upper Midwest since the Big Hair Days of the early eighties. He brings a unique and powerful style of vocals and bass to the stage that most musicians only dream about. With his wide vocal range he can cover ACDC to Led Zeppelin and everything in between. All while playing the bass riffs note for note. He has played openings for nationally renowned bands like BTO, Head East, Fog Hat and Steppenwolf and has been a member of local bands like Damien, Sonik Envy, Rock Brigade and Arch Allies. He likes to have fun and when you see him play you can easily tell this by the smile on his face. Per Tommy, “I love to play music because it allows me to entertain people so they can have some fun and forget about life for awhile.” come out and see a show, you too will be saying;
WHY WAIT TO PARTY TOMORROW WHEN YOU CAN PARTY ARMY TODAY!

General Mayhem
Billy Hart
Guitar/Vocals
An actual veteran of the US Army himself, Billy feels paying a light-hearted tribute to the boys in uniform- of all branches- is only fitting. Like Tom, Billy has been around the scene a long time and helped found bands that were very popular and toured in many parts of the world. Bands like Rave On, The Blondes, Eternal Teenagers, Show Me Yours, Ragged Radio and many others have pleased crowds since the early 80's, and enjoyed warming up national acts in large venues as well as rocking small night clubs. Billy's vocals are the perfect counterpart to Tom's and together they deliver great lead and harmony vocals with energy and excitement. Bill is also very funny (some say crazy) on stage, so be prepared for his off-beat brand of humor and zingers when you come to party!

Corporal Punishment
Michael Torok
Guitar
Mike is a longtime guitar player here in the cities, but is possibly best known for Impaler, the local Shock-Rock band that had Al and Tipper Gore excited more than CO2 back in the 80's, which possibly helped sell some of their records. Mike has played with Dave and Bill in 2 other bands, the Struttin' Hacks, and Cry Uncle. Mike lists some of his vitals here:
Guitars and co-songwriter in original band TOROK (3 releases to date).
