Biography
The Bus Station Loonies formed in 1995 in an attempt to put fun into the anarcho-punk movement. Original Loonies Tony Popkids (drums) and Chris Wheelchair (vocals, keyboards, kazoo; ex-drummer with Oi Polloi, Disorder, Riot/Clone and Dirt, among others) still continue with the band today, having recruited approximately 30 other band members over 10 years. The band was featured in the UK's Channel 4 documentary, Punx Picnic. The Bus Station Loonies were the original holders of the Guinness Book of World Records record for the most concerts performed in 12 hours (25 different shows), and proudly sit between Mariah Carey and The Beatles in the 2003 Book of Guiness World Records.

Chris 'Felcher' Wheelchair; closet exhibitionist, tired of siting at the back behind a drum kit, avoiding the limelight with OI POLLOI, SHOCK TREATMENT, CDS, and oodles of other bands. Following a week's worth of attention-seeking escapades during which Deek lost his voice during an OI POLLOI tour, Wheelie (acting as stand-in vocalist) got the taste for frontman malarkey and decided to form his own bunch of desperados. None of them could have believed how much fun they would have (or how knackered they would get!), nor how other people seem to enjoy their gigs too! THE 'LOONIES are proof the world is about to end.
Chris Wheelchair, is involved in a solo project Harakiri Karaoke.
