Green Jellÿ/Jello was formed in 1981 in Kenmore by founding member Bill Manspeaker with one goal: to be “The World’s Worst Band.” Over the years they grew and changed (but never matured) and found fame in their antics, having had famous names dropped throughout their revolving cast of puppets including Danny Carey and Maynard James Keenan of Tool. They’ve also been Grammy nominated, sued by Kraft Foods, Kellogg, & even Metallica, and toured many a time with their dear friends GWAR.
Now fresh off a tour run with Insane Clown Posse they return home for a late night wild time at the one-and-only Mohawk Place. This “Punk Rock Puppet Show” is a local legend, and a true treat to see for only $5. Come at 8 p.m. for the early acts including Toronto Proto-Punk legends The Scenics who bring back that late 70’s charm, then stay after Midnight when the Jello shenanigans take over.
