User:ToeLuver/The Camel Toes

The Camel Toes are a band formed by Danny Hemphill and Jeff Mahaffey (and Joe Holt), while on active duty in April 2006, at Fort Hood (Texas), prior to deployment in support of OIF VI-VIII.

The band changed their name to Mooseknuckle Joe and The Camel Toes in April 2007, while at LSA Anaconda. Their first performance was Memorial Day, 31 MAY 2007.

There had been several complaints lodged against the members while in Texas, and with the addition of their third (and final member), Joe Holt, and at the request of Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO), the boys changed their name; the birth of "Mooseknuckle Joe and The Camel Toes."

MJ and TCT played the first "Individually (soldier) Produced" show, complete stage with wooden riggings, lights, and fog machines, and included, Senior Leader performance participation for the 4 JUL 2007 show, prior to the redeployment of their mobilized Army Unit.

This is but one, of a few, major notable events that transpired for the members. The name of the band alone caused much excitement, as well as being published and distributed on an MWR hosted "Memorial Day - Talent Show", and flyers, alone which caused a major stir within the command channels. Also giving them the distinction of having the meaning of the band's name, "Googled", by their Brigade Command.

While the band are all but (currently) disbanded, the individual members remain somewhat active in their local area music scenes. Mooseknuckle Joe (Holt) is currently playing bass for the Philly Area band, Losing Eden. Their two main performances, 31 MAY 2007 and 4 JUL 2007, were taped and there were several copies distributed to deployed members of their Brigade. Audience attendance was counted at 250+, with their participation ranging from line dancing to crowd surfing.
