Bobby Wolf (guitar) Born the son of poor sharecroppers and sold at an early age to missionaries who raised him in the Australian outback, Bobby Wolf started the first all-kangaroo blues band back in the early sixties. Unfortunately, the record charts were dominated by the emerging koalamania fad, and the 'roo sound languished in obscurity until Wolf hopped a tramp steamer to Belgium. There he spent days injecting creme fillings into fine chocolates and nights in smoky clubs looking for the elusive sound he could call his own. In a chance meeting with some touring blues greats that would change his life, Bobby jumped the stage and viciously atacked Howlin' Wolf, claiming the legenday artist stole his professional name. Muddy Waters jumped in to break up the fight and told Bobby: "Git back to America and go live in the suburbs where you belong. And gimme that harpmonica and go git you a guitar to play." The blues master's advice proved invaluable, for here on the north shore of Chicago, the budding guitar virtuoso formed or was featured in such stellar bands as The Underwhelmers, Armed and Hammered, Brutal Noodle, The Fabulous Organ Donors, Nine Inch Hangnails, The Pesticles, and The TestosterTones. While he was between bands and on medication, a chance enccounter with the up-and-coming SlackDaddies brought two great musical forces together in the form of a car collision. Over the next two years that Wolf hounded the band onstage to get their insurance information, they saw Bobby as their imaginary friend and featured him on guitar at al their gigs, both real and imagined. A devout Mormon and practicing polygamist, Wolf is the father of over 30 children, all of whom have closely watched their Dad's musical career before deciding to go off in other directions; together, they are the largest CPA firm in the Chicago area, but still refuse to do the SlackDaddies' taxes. On his off days, Bobby spends time at the Brookfield Zoo, talking to the kangaroos under the watchful eye of zoo officials and court-appointed social workers.
