  (myspace.com/the larroquettes) Trashy absurdity that will fuck you up yet give you a chuckle. Or chuckle you up yet give you a fuck. It really works both ways. If you like guitars and drums and bass and beer and passing out and fighting and fun than you need to Larro-get this. BTW, on The John Larroquette Show sitcom there was an entire episode with a running gag about Roky Erickson coming through the bus station. How did that get on TV?
