Bio:
Twisted Hams is a rock 'n' roll band from El Paso, Texas. The band was formed by three local science teachers and has expanded to a five piece group. The current members are Nicole O'Leary, Paul Hyder, Ron Lambert, Randy Russ and Mike McFee. Although the name was originally derived from a sandwich, it is really indicative of the bands quirky music and showy attitude. The band is diverse in its musical influences and plays a wide variety of styles. Mostly, just good ol' feel good rock n' roll with influences from folk rock, rockabilly, jazz, ska and punk. These styles are blended in a smooth and pleasing way that attracts a wide range of listeners. Some of our songs have tongue-in-cheek lyrics that come off as being slightly irreverent. Dennis Woo of KTEP radio described our music as "original classic rock". We have been playing together for over five years and recorded our first CD last July (2012) at El Adobe Studios in El Paso, Texas. Please check out our bios page for more info about each of us.As we like to say...What was once three, is now five. Each member with unique backgrounds and tastes, coming together for a musical synergy that is out of this world. Well, not really, but it is pretty freakin' cool. Twisted Hams is based out of El Paso, Texas with members Paul Hyder – guitar, bass, mandolin, and vocals; Ron Lambert – drums, percussion, and vocals; ; Nicole O’Leary – flute, and vocals, Randy Russ - guitar and vocals, and Mike McFee- bass guitar . We play all original, unique music, with splashes of influence from groups such as Frank Zappa, The Who, Pearl Jam, Miles Davis, and Jethro Tull. We recorded our first CD, "Takin' It Back", last July (2012)at El Adobe Studios in El Paso, Texas. We have fun and enjoy making music together. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy playing. “We take our not-so-serious music seriously.”
Paul Hyder - Guitarist, bassist, vocalist, snake wrangler - This is Paul singing. Paul enjoys collecting pet snakes in his spare time. He also plays guitar, mandolin, bass and sings. He's not really crazy. He just gets into it.
Ron Lambert - Drummer, astronomer, martial artist, resident goof - Ron loves to drum when he's awake. "Eat, sleep, drum." Ron's twenty years in the martial arts have given him the discipline, and work ethic, to constantly strive to reach a higher level of drumming. We just hope he's wearing underwear when he goes up stairs carrying suitcases.
Nicole O'Leary - Primary vocalist, flutist, chicken wrangler and gardener - Nicole started at an early age taking piano lessons. She learned to play flute playing in the high school band. She now handles vocals, flute, and occasional percussion instrument. Although Nicole's photos may be a little out of focus, she is the most focused of us all. Boy, can she step up!
Randy Russ - Guitarist extraodinaire, vocalist, biker dude -
Randy "Phat Daddy" Russ has been an axeman in and around the music scene for about forty years. He has recorded on a number of albums. Check out his amazing licks on the Dragonfly album. He rides a Harley. Need we say more?
Mike McFee - Bass Guitar, Anchor Man - Mike hails, originally, from Ohio and has been involved in music since an early age. He has lived, and played music, in the El Paso area for a number of years now and is a highly respected musician in the area. He currently plays in three different groups, and still finds time to anchor the Twisted Hams to help keep them grounded. (Oh good, I was worried about floating away.)
