In his 20s, he toured and sang (and smoked) with his own band, which still performs as 30 Odd Foot of Grunts.

...effort to cut off with the rest off the group, since he's breaking later than everyone else and sticking out. On a shuttle bus provided by their clients, the boys are already preparing for calypso night at the Fly Club, despite the fact that there's another gig before they can go home. After the last performance, their third tonight, the Kroks are visibly drained...
