Biography

Fatso Jetson hail from the Palm Desert area, California. Living in the desert, secluded away from the trendy "scenes" in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, the only places for original music to be played have been pool halls, Mexican restauraunts (after hours) and the occasional struggling bar looking to make some fast cash. On many occasions, the only place for a band to play has been in secluded desert canyons powered by a generator and a 12 pack of cheap beer. Then in 1994, Mario and Larry Lalli opened the desert's first "rock club". It was at this club that drummer Tony Tornay, bassist Larry Lalli and guitarist/singer Mario Lalli decided to start a band.
