Tony Coque
,br>
Tony was born and raised in New York City.
He began his musical studies at the age of
eight when he picked up his first guitar.
He studied classical and jazz music through
high school and from there he went on to receive
a BA in music from New York University.
Tony has played and composed for bands varying
from top-40, to fusion, to gritty blues and
rock. His credits include working with RCA
recording artist Jim Dawson, and working on
national television in Rome on RAI TV.
Tony's guitar style is eclectic and electrifying.
His stage performances are known for their
surreal, friendly sexuality. Whether he is
screaming erotic poetry with a phallus symbol
on his head, or rolling on the floor with
the Orgy crew, his stage energy is nonstop.
During his college years Tony, an amateur
chemist, was known to cross the county mixing
his own legendary brand of "Coque Blotter"
and selling the brain candy at Dead shows.
Later, while touring the nation with lounge
singer Arnett Bueller, Tony met Las Vegas
showgirl Cyndi Lapps. A whirlwind romance
ensued, and soon the couple were wed in Tahoe
where Tony lost Cyndi's showgirl savings at
the keno table and the young lovers were forced
to spend their honeymoon in the less-than-lavish
Big Jim's Roadside All Elvis Wax Museum Bar,
Grill, and Sleepover.
The couple settled in a small town in Iowa
where Tony taught guitar at the area YMCA.
Unfortunately, the marriage began to crumble
when Cyndi, longing for her former showgirl
life, refused to stop wearing her pasties
to the local Wal-Mart.
Tony took the break-up hard, spending the
next year in the crack houses of Athens, Georgia
trading blues licks and sharing horse needles
with the locals. Finally, as things began
to look bleak, Tony was visited by a vision
of guitar legend Dick Dale. This is especially
strange since Dick Dale is still alive. Nonetheless,
Tony testifies earnestly that on a dark alleyway,
Dick Dale emerged out of a mist and uttered
these prophetic words to him... "What the
hell's wrong with you? Surf's up Daddy!"
From that moment forward Tony's life turned
around. He began to practice hours each day
and soon his chops were better than ever.
A now wiser Coque was soon a hot item on the
New York music scene, and now of course, a
member of The Imperial Orgy's coveted Inner
Circle. |
