Sometime around 1975, deep in the Home of the Fried Clam (Ipswich, Massachusetts), a really fun bunch of guys who had a band called “The Rhythm A’s” somehow changed and became The Fools.

All entertainers have a gimmick, a shtick, if you will (even if you won’t). The object of a Fools show was to blow real life out of all proportions and morph just another night out to see a band into the most fun anyone had ever had anywhere! Meeting with great success, it wasn’t long before the lads were masterminding stage trickery, pratfalls, skits, themes, twisted audience participation, practical jokes, paybacks, big nights, and even some colossal events.

Then they discovered radio.

In 1979 “Psycho Chicken,” an X-rated parody of Psycho Killer by Talking Heads, exploded over the airwaves of Boston. The boys were so excited they followed up almost at once with another whopping hit “It’s a Night for Beautiful Girls.” And the guys weren’t the only ones to get excited. EMI Records signed the band and sent them right out to tour the U.S. with The Knack. The tour was a smashing success.

Great music, performed by talented musicians, with a hefty helping of comedy comes together in a unique charm that has been lighting up smiles for years. With extensive touring, radio and video success and millions of records sold, The Fools maintain their legendary status.
