Voted BEST PIZZA in Lawrence
'Sellout' true to its name
Gene Simmons, Tina Turner, Tommy Lee, Janis Joplin and other stars could be performing somewhere in Lawrence soon, and they won't even insist on playing their own material.
By Louise Stuffer Kansan staff writer
The music superstars are really a collection of Lawrence residents and University of Kansas students who came together to form the Band Sellout, and cover songs aren't] just the bands' speciality — they're the whole show.
Bree Bruns, Oskaloosa senior, plays Janis Joplin in the band. Long, wild hair, huge round sunglasses and hippie clothing help transform her from a regular college student to hard-drinking, hard-living Janis.
Bruns said the band had a test to see if audiences would recognize the characters.
"If we can walk into three bars and get recognized, then we know our audiences will know who we are," she said.
More famous faces in the band include Tina Turner, played by Sunny Bertrand. Lawrence resident, the construction worker from the Village People, played by Brian Barth, Overland Park senior, and Tommy Lee, played by Jason Slote, Lawrence resi-
"It's easier to perform with costume," Bruns said. "It's like a big blanket."
The idea for a cover band and characters was hatched on a fishing trip by two other members, Steve Ozark, Lawrence resident, who plays Gene Simmons, and Nick Kounas, Lawrence resident, whose character is That 70s Guy, a disco personality. Both Ozark and Kounas had played in bands before but weren't satisfied with their experiences.
"We just wanted to create a fun band all about having a good time, and not taking any of it seriously," Kounas said.
Ozark runs his own talent agency in Lawrence called Ozark Talent, so he knew what he wanted in a band.
"I've seen so many bands take themselves so seriously," he said. "We are the antithesis of the Lawrence music scene."
Ozark's career as a booking agent also enables the band to worry about issues other than booking shows.

"It takes all of the pressure off, my booking the band." Ozark said.
The costumes entertain the audience but also help Sellout members become their alter egos.
helped him gain insight into his career as an agent.
"Now I have more empathy for my bands when they complain about stuff on tour, because I understand what they're going through," he said.
Bruns said she too gets personal gain from being a member of Sellout.
a take this band in a little bit of a different light because I have to pay rent," she said. "But Sellout is so much fun, I work hard in this band. The costumes make it a lot more fun, it's way over the top."
The band has a touring circuit that covers much of the Midwest, including Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., Golden, Colo., and Joplin, Mo. Sellout also plans to tour in the islands of St. Thomas and St. John during February and March 2003.
sellout specializes in covers from the '70s and '80s — the more popular, the better. Songs such as "Shake Your Booty" and "Jungle Boogie" are popular requests. The band also plays hits from current artists such as Eminem.
"We're just trying to get people to onen up and have fun." Ozark said.
