Formed in 2006, THE LINT ROLLERS could be accurately described as a “nouveau-garage band” generating lotsa raw (though somewhat middle-aged) energy.

The name “THE LINT ROLLERS” doesn’t describe much about the band except for our tendency not to take things too seriously. It also provides a nice base for lots of stupid names for gigs, such as “Lintstock”, “Lintapalooza”, "the Isle of Lint Festival”, “Night of the Living Lint Rollers”, "Lintageddon (in 3D!)", "Tour De Lint" as well as countless bad puns.

We pretty much stick to music we love to play, regardless of categorization (mostly “classic” pop, rock & blues), and generally play material that you remember, but didn’t think to ask for. 

Just like the Three Musketeers before us, THE LINT ROLLERS  have always rolled as a trio, featuring Mike Cusumano on drums, George Valaes on bass and Joey Donovan on guitar.  

And just as the Three Musketeers had a hard time explaining the frequent presence of D'Artagnan,  we sometimes have a hard time explaining the frequent presence of Dennis "Torpedo D" Toerpe (who's in high demand with bands that pay a lot better than we do!)  on the Hammond B3 organ.

Just like D'Artagnan, Dennis is usually there with us, either saving the day or getting in the most trouble. Either way, he keeps it interesting.

We’re  frequently (though randomly) joined onstage by a talented assortment of musician friends. The ROLLING LINT REVUE is what happens when a bunch of our frenz join us onstage.
