Career

Main article:
The Mentors

As a teenager, Broy co-founded The Mentors in

Eric Carlson (Sickie Wifebeater), and drummer/vocalist Eldon Hoke (El Duce.)[1] The band later relocated to Los Angeles, California and gained extensive notoriety for their extreme shock rock aesthetic.[1]

Broy was in and out of the Mentors during their early career due to his preoccupation while pursuing degrees in engineering.

You Axed For It!.[2] Thereafter, Broy was briefly replaced by bassists Ed Danky ("Poppa Sneaky Spermshooter") and Zippy, but returned to the group in 1989. The band continued after Hoke's 1997 death and presently remain active,[1] with Broy often acting as the group's unofficial spokesman.[3]

Broy has also performed as Dr. Heathen Scum with Hoke on his solo albums, collaborated with many groups, and has made solo albums as Dr. Heathen Scum and Pope Heathen Scum. According to Broy, his band Church of El Duce was formed "immediately after the resurrection of our Lord, El Duce" and Hoke came to him in a dream, telling him to "keep rockin'".[4]
