At times he has claimed to have been born in 1924 to Sicilian parents living in Brooklyn, other times he has said to be an extraterrestrial from the planet Strazar.[1] In 2007, Lmo was imprisoned for committing 2nd-degree robbery and sentenced to three and a half years.[2] In 2010, Von Lmo was released from prison and is currently performing with former collaborator Otto von Ruggins in Avant Duel, a space rock outfit based in Brooklyn, New York.
