About
Töd Venice first gained notoriety as bassist for the legendary European Liquidators, whose acetate of “(Why Don’t You) Shoot Me with Your Sex Pistol” (1977) has twice sold for over $3,300. Later performing as George Ringo in "Supreme Pontiff," he wrote and performed “Nuke the Whales” (1978.) He is credited with originating that slogan by The New York Times and Princeton historian D. Graham Burnett in "The Sounding of the Whale" (University of Chicago Press, 2013.) By 1979, Venice dropped aliases and, as Rob Falk, joined "Kid Sonic and the Boom," playing Harvard parties. After Kid Sonic’s departure, "The Boom" broke Yo-Yo Ma’s attendance record in the Kirkland House JCR during their “White Noise” concert event, and recorded and released Falk’s “Nancy Packs a Piece” (1981), dedicated to John Lennon and referencing First Lady remarks after Lennon’s assassination. Rare 7" vinyl copies, when they surface online, have sold for up to $90. Now, after 45 years away, Falk has reclaimed his original moniker and resumed delivering his skewed commentary on the state of the world. Stay tuned! As Kimberly Guilfoyle so weirdly screamed at the 2020 RNC, “the best is yet to come!”
