Rudi Protrudi (born Glen Dalpis; December 15, 1952) is an American rock musician, songwriter, record producer, artist, and actor best known as the lead vocalist and frontman of the rock and roll band The Fuzztones. (More from Wikipedia)
Rudi Protrudi – who was born Glen Dalpis, but Rudi Action Protrudi is the name on his passport – is the frontman and lead singer of the one of the most popular and talented punk/psychedelic revival bands of the 1980’s, the Fuzztones. He formed Link Protrudi and the Jaymen in the spring of 1986 as an offshoot of the Fuzztones with their original bass guitar player Michael Jay and “Mad” Mike Czekaj, the man who would become the drummer when the Fuzztones moved from New York City to Los Angeles in 1987.
Rudi Protrudi himself adds on the back cover of the album that I have by Link Protrudi and the Jaymen, Missing Links: “If you enjoy this album half as much as we did making it, you’ll probably be breaking some kind of law. . .”
