Gargamel! was formed in 1992 in Orlando, consisting of Chuck "Mandaddy" Ellis on vocals, John "Webb" Webber on drums, Matt "Boy Howdy" Lapham on bass, Darin "Skyjak" Bridges on guitar, and Pat “Headless Spawn” McCurdy on guitar. In 1995, Lester “Crazy Hector” Stover replaced Lapham on bass, and Wayne “Servo Beonic Man” Larsen joined on keyboards. Ray "El Diablo Guapo" Rivera joined on guitar in 1996, and was replaced by Ryan "Professor Knuckles" Dailey in 2000. Webber was replaced by Andy Mas on drums in 2006, and Mas was replaced by Kevin "Heavie Kevie" Collado in 2011. The band is rooted in funk metal, but their music combines elements of experimental rock, jazz, funk, Latin, ska, hip hop, and reggae. Known for their offbeat sense of humor and the stage antics of lead singer, Mandaddy, who named the band after a character from the animated children’s television show, The Smurfs, and who wears a black and orange outfit modeled after the cartoon villain, the band often incorporates surprising covers, such as Billy Joel songs. They have shared the stage with such national artists such as GWAR, Anthrax, Dog Fashion Disco, Tub Ring, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Genitorturers, Mushroomhead, Nonpoint, Bad Acid Trip, Skindred, and Skeleton Key.]]> Archive: Concerts Archive, Alicia Lyman.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2006-10-29-GARGAMEL-ADAM-BECKY-OSBOURNES-WEDDING/G00000Mzyi8gzo98/I0000F_wWjQPWWTk/C0000UMZoXUUZnpc.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2006-10-29-GARGAMEL-ADAM-BECKY-OSBOURNES-WEDDING/G00000Mzyi8gzo98/I0000GpWUZ4rzPaM/C0000UMZoXUUZnpc.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2006-10-29-GARGAMEL-ADAM-BECKY-OSBOURNES-WEDDING/G00000Mzyi8gzo98/I0000FUhMbHrtjfM/C0000UMZoXUUZnpc.]]> http://alicialyman.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/2006-10-29-GARGAMEL-ADAM-BECKY-OSBOURNES-WEDDING/G00000Mzyi8gzo98/I0000lRuC7Sgs9SM/C0000UMZoXUUZnpc.]]> Rock Collection, Central Florida Music History Collection, RICHES of Central Florida.]]> Archive: Concerts Archive, Alicia Lyman.]]> Alicia Lyman.]]> Alicia Lyman and is provided here by RICHES of Central Florida for educational purposes only.]]>
