Biography
The
winter of 1975 found Kent Brown, Big Hymie Smith, and Handsome Victor
De Bauche appearing in a cheesy, low-rent trampoline act, The Flying
Zucchini Brothers.From the dingy industrial cities in the northeast to
seedy tank towns of the great plains, "the Brothers" entertained
hundreds.
Their success lasted until sometime in the late 1980's. The popularity of M.T.V. And the realization that they were too fat and old, forced the boys to retire the act.
Pointing their rusting Buick Electra and crappy Air-Stream trailer West, the ex-Zucchini Bros. Wandered aimlessly,until the fateful night of April 1st,1989. A two car wreck in Denver brought them together with Kris Farris, a talented, sophisticated, professional saxophone player.
Too dumb to have auto insurance, and too broke to do anything else, the foursome decided to start a band. Realizing that they were all baseball fans, and that one stupid name was as good as another, they named the band in honor of legendary home-run hitter, Henry Aaron.
The music speaks for itself.
The dozens of fans speak for themselves.
THE HAMMERIN" HANKS...
The rest,as they say, is history.
