The GoHog Revue consisted of a collection of performing and recording pseudonyms used by the core members of OHO – later known as Food for Worms. The nucleus of the band had been together throughout most of the ‘70s and included vocalist/guitarist Jay Graboski, Keyboard player Mark O’Connor, drummer Jeff Graboski, along with others drifting in and out over the years.
Using a concept similar to the Turtles “Battle of the Bands” LP, the Gohog Revue plied their trade using the pseudonyms OHO (a synthesizer art-rock band – see entry), Dark Side (a bizarre blues band), Trixy & the Testones (a Ramones type punk band), the Toys (a commercial pop band), Unyflow (a faux disco band), Razor (a punk band – see entry), also the Alcoholics, and the Beaters.
Trixy & the Testones released a single in 1978 “Palisades Park” b/w “Bits and Pieces” (Toy 001). Their adaptation of the Phil Spector / Crystals song “Then She Kissed Me” was included on the 1979 various artists compilation “The Best of Baltimore’s Buried” (Balto-Weird 1001). The line-up shown as Trixy (aka. Kraig Krixer – guitar, vocals ex-Orange Wedge, Pooba), David Wylde (bass, vocals), ‘Vic DeMize’ Mark O’Connor (synthesizer, mellotron), Shemp Averagio (sax with maestro), Jeff Jamm (percussion), ‘Johnny Love’ Jay Graboski (guitar, incidental percussion, backing vocals), and Bill Phelan (vocals, 12 string).
The OHO family continued to evolve and create music into the ‘00s (see bio).
