Potoroo (also known as LHR and The Kangaroo Warrior) is a furry "pseudoartist", musician and roogoyle. He is also administrator of the Toronto Furry Mailing List (TorFur), and chair of Camp Feral since 2005. He wrote and illustrated a partially-furry comic, Ignorance Deserves Death, which has been on hiatus since March 2005 after starting a new musical project. His first solo musical release was "One Man Boy Band" in 2004. It features artwork by Ferris and thirteen songs with an ecclectic accoustic bent. In 2005, he released "ACEP," an 8 song EP with studio recorded tracks, demos, a collaboration with Chris Goodwin, and a song pieced from an extended drunken improvised rant around his living room. He has been 'currently' working on a new album for many years now.
Potoroo has a University degree in theatre and history from the University of Guelph. He joined the Toronto Furry community in 1998. He began planning furry events around theatrical productions he acted in, wrote or directed in 1999, and also helped found and maintain the Guelph Furry Breakfast, a popular event which was included in the Toronto Furry community based on it's proximity to Toronto. Since moving to Toronto in 2003, he has focused on planning events in Toronto, as well as recording his albums and helping co-ordinate Camp Feral.
He has finished Recording Arts Management program at Harris Institute for the Arts and, among other things, interned at Universal Music Canada in the summer of 2010. He now does digital marketing and video promotion for new and established recording artists in Toronto.
In 2010, he was Guest of Honour at the first Condition convention in London, Ontario.
Now performing as Roo, he is returning to his career in music and is being managed by Really Tall Unicycle Entertainment. He is reuniting with his former bandmate, Ryan McLarnon, and performing at Bread and Circus on April 1st, 2010, his first show in Toronto since 1996.
Potoroo has a great fondness for Falstaff and the colour pink.
