Oates' 'tache gets cartoon treatment
One of the most famous moustaches of the 1980s could be coming to screens in a new animated series.
Billboard reports that 'J-Stache' follows the adventures of Hall & Oates star John Oates, who is coaxed out of his family man life and back into the music world by... his moustache (voiced by comedian Dave Attell).
Speaking to Billboard, Oates said: "In a cartoon setting, the moustache has its own personality. Just as I'm represented as the John Oates of today, the moustache is the John Oates of yesterday."
The plan is for the series to feature music from the Hall & Oates back catalogue.
"The focus of the music will be on the back catalogue," said Oates, "but it's an open-ended situation. There's even talk of the moustache trying to bring new bands into the picture."
The pilot episode, which is currently being storyboarded, finds Oates opening a new section of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for musicians with moustaches.
He is then warned by David Crosby of a mysterious group of moustache wearers trying to kill other moustache wearers.
