WHO?
The Drool Brothers eclectic mixes of sonic experiments defy category. They feel at ease lifting mid 70's Kool and the Gang grooves as they do crafting pop melodies, only to destroy them with Zappa-esque dissonance. The press has mentioned Zappa, P-Funk, Beck, Mancini, New York Dolls, and the Cars when trying to describe the Drool Brothers. Chuck Mancillas and Tom Slik (real brothers) and friend, Joe Kramer, are native Angelinos, but are somewhat alienated from the pretentious Los Angeles music scene. Ironically, they are an inextricable part of its culture and history and have backed an array of underground heroes such as the Killer Crows, Kristian Hoffman, Legal Weapon, Jigsaw Seen, Texas Terri, Harry Dean Stanton, and many, many more. Their diverse musical background serves as the basis for their own eclectic music.

BLAH BLAH BLAH…
The Drool Brothers started recording in their parent's garage in the mid-80's with a 4-track cassette recorder, radio shack mixer and home speakers. It wasn't until 1996, after investing in feasible recording gear, when they recorded and released their first single "Halloweenish." The orange vinyl 7" became a cult college radio classic and appeared on two heralded compilation CD's. It still gets a spin now and then as it was heard on the revolutionary BBCi John Peel show years after its release.

2000
Their first full length critically acclaimed self titled CD, released in 2000, charted on several college radio stations such as NOTRE DAME's WSND and EAST TEXAS' KSAU. The lead track, "Fullerton", was featured on the revolutionary, but now defunct "Joe's Grille" syndicated radio show and compilation CD and was heard on over 200 radio stations throughout the US while the retro-soul track "Can't Stand the Heat" became a DJ favorite in L.A. clubs.

2003
They released a pink vinyl 45 entitled GALS, a psychedelic bossa nova, and sent out a vanity pack to the 1st 10 gals who bought it through their web-site. The song's B-side is featured on the "Diggin for Gold" compilatiion from Double Crown records!

2004
2004 marked the release of their new record, KASIO MONTIGO, and features appearances by Chuck and Tom's basement Freudian mother, Sally Mancillas, legendary DOG guitarist, Loren Molinare, and omniscient Pakistanian popster, Tariq Mirza (Tee-M). The CD charted on ultra swank College radio stations across the country such as NPR station KRUX New Mexico and KSJS San Jose. It even found a #1 spot in WINONA MN!
