Uncle Toasty - Uncle Toasty bicycle cards vocalist Anthony Kiedis and bassistUncle Toasty began as a side project of the thumping Fort Worth based garage band Mean Motor Scooter initiated by drummer Jeffrey Chase Friedman. Friedman stepped out from behind the traps and fronts the band on guitar and lead vocals. The band's eponymous 4 song 10" EP has a big loud sound that calls up influences including the post punk grunge of Jesus Lizard, Tad and Skin Yard along with the slightly more contemporary garage stylings of Jay Reatard
