I picked up a flier in Detroit in 1999 where the Kooky Scientist was to be performing a Live PA at a party.
A week later Fred Giannelli posted here that he would not be performing in Detroit at that time, no matter what had been read locally. I don't remember if he had a falling out with the promoter or if they just used his name, but I do remember that the flier was out more than a month before the party...so i lean toward the latter.
