Musical Career

His musical career began in 1992, as he formed the band Maniac Spider Trash, alongside Abby Normal, Michael Patrick and Sicko Zero. From 1992 to 1996, he was the frontman for MST, but they never reached much success. The band only released one EP, and was disbanded when Poole formed the Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, featuring both Abby Normal and Sicko Zero.

From 1996 to 2002, he was considered the frontman for the band, as they released 5 full-length albums, and 6 EPs. They were also featured on tribute albums for Alice Cooper, and Sweet. His time with the band was interrupted from 2001 to 2003, as he focused on a side project, Murderdolls, which enjoyed much more success than his previous bands, doing particularly well in Japan and the UK.

He currently works in a band under the Wednesday 13 name, and with the help of fellow musicians Pig, Ghastly, and Kid Kid, released his first solo album, "" during summer 2005. In early 2006, Pig, Ghastly and Kid Kid all left the band to pursue other options. According to his website, Poole is in the process of recording the follow-up album to Transylvania 90210, entitled "Fang Bang", which is set for a summer 2006 release.

The official Frankenstein Drag Queens website has recently reported that the band has re-united, even playing several concerts. They released a box-set in spring 2006, titled 'Little Box of Horrors'. However, they remain mostly inactive, as Poole is still mainly focused on his solo project.
