Meet The Peenbeets!

Joel Fried- Drums

Joel came to the Peenbeets fresh out of a stint with Second City Comedy Troupe out of Chicago. The Fort Worth native juggles, paints, enjoys martial arts, and blocks all his own sex scenes. He has been with the group for two years as its drummer. His popularity as "that hot drummer" has led him to frequent guest appearances on "Dana Carvey's All Star Drum Jam featuring Jason Bonham". He is 18 years old and a Capricorn. He voted independently last year.

Jimmy Burdine - Bass

Jimmy Burdine is probably the most prolific talent The Peenbeets have ever encountered. While working as a motivational speaker for the Exxon/Jack Daniels Conference of 1990, he met Mr. Positive, who would become an instrumental player in the life of the Peenbeets. When Mr. Positive told Jimmy that a band with a sitcom deal needed a bassist (their previous bass player had been deported to France), he signed up enthusiastically. Not only does he play the bass, he does a stand-up comedy tour and opened for Joey Lawrence on his come back tour at malls across the nation. He also was featured in the Austin Lyric Opera production of Igor Stravinsky's Flambe singing soprano as "Pedro". Currently Jimmy enjoys writing songs with his friends in "Brown Whornet".

Greg Beets - Singer

Mr. Greg Beets, a loyal American from birth, began the succesful franchise known as The Peenbeets in his bedroom in Houston, Texas in 1985. Taking his cue from contemporarys such as Dexy's Midnight Runners, Up with People, and The Judys, he found his calling in the swinging world of pop/rock. At the age of 16 he tried his hand at stuntwork, doubling for Mark Hamill in the hit film Corvette Summer. After a bizarre accident involving a Pong video game and Roger Staubach, he turned to writing. He is the brain behind creating the Peenbeets lovable on-air persona. His next work is a remake of The Bad News Bears starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the role made famous by Walter Matthau.

Mr. Positive - Drums

Because of the recent departure of Joel Fried to join the cast of Jack Tripper, Private Dick, The Peenbeets had to call upon their good friend and motivational guru, Mr. Positive. He started his career being an exclusive therapist for Ringling Bros. Circus. After an unfortunate incident involving Andre Previn and a storm cellar, he tried his hand at comedy. He opened for Robert Tilton at the Praise The Lord" convention in Alfafa, Missouri. One day while eating at Skyline Chili, and old lady smiled at him and asked him for some napkins. He decided there and then that the most imprtant thing in this lifetime was smiles, and not giving circus clowns handjobs for good health.

Chepo Peña - Guitar

Chepo Pena is the world's oldest virgin. He was born in Texas but wears his Mexican and Cuban heritage like a badge of honor. He is the bestselling author of "Chepo's Cocina", the most important Cuban cuisine cookbook ever published. The Peenbeets marks his first foray into the world of television superstardom. He lives in Burbank with his two cats, Gene and Paul.
