A red-blooded slab of Middle American boogie-down blues, Tenderloin featured steer-sized lead singer/harmonica player Ernie Locke, fresh from clip in another Lawrence, KA, institution, the Sin City Disciples. In 1993, Locke hooked up with brothers Gray and Brock Ginther (on guitar and bass, respectively) and drummer Guy Stephens to record the band's debut, Let It Leak, which was picked up by Warner Bros. But the striation splintered and Locke recruited deuce-ace new members for their Warner followup, including Reverend Horton Heat drummer Patrick "Taz" Bentley; the Rev's guitar tech, Kirk St. James on guitar; and bassist John Cutler. With Locke's butt-crack and Buddha-belly denudation stage exhibit preeminent a fierce roadhouse stone attempt, the band supported their 1995 mo album, Bullseye, touring with kindred hard drink the Supersuckers. However, Warner dropped them the next year. They hooked up with indie Time Bomb for their self-titled assert vocal in 1997, officially breaking up the next yr. Locke and Cutler went on to form a new Lawrence-area striation, Parlay.
