Beautiful Bert & The Crotch Crickets
About
Beautiful Bert and the Crotch Crickets were a legendary and infamous fixture of the Wisconsin underground punk scene, primarily active in the Kenosha and Milwaukee areas. Fronted by the late Brian Scott 'Beautiful Bert' Phillips (1959–2008), the band was as famous for their tight, aggressive hardcore sound as they were for Bert's outrageous and often gross-out stage antics, which included nudity and the use of food props like salami. Often referred to as the 'King of KenoCore,' Bert was a highly influential figure who once worked as a roadie and security for GG Allin—who reportedly filled in on drums for the Crotch Crickets during a show. Following the Crotch Crickets, Bert formed Beautiful Bert and the Luscious Ones, continuing his legacy in the Midwest punk circuit until his death in 2008.
