Does anyone like this band? I saw them last year and I have to say they were definetly one of the most entertaining live bands I have EVER seen. Wild stage antics and crazy clothes (singing penis puppets and scuba gear and such). But the music is pretty crazy, it's not your typical Punk Rock, it's alot more fun and fast. Mostly cover tunes though, but they make em' great. They've been around since 76 or 77 I think, so a long time, they're from California. Anyways, great band. Check out the songs "nobody but me, gigantor, or the banana splits" :)

I've heard about 20 of their songs and it's pretty interesting music so far. I assumed their stage show would be pretty cool.

yeah, they're alot of fun. When I saw them the lead singer was wearing Spandex and a shirt that said I love Satan and jumping around like a moron, not even to the beat of the song, just going insane. It was funny becase he's an old guy. But awesome, none the less. Good dancing music.

Agreed, I saw them the past year and I wasn't expecting much. There was only about 15-20 kids there but it's one of the best shows I've been too, because of the humor and energy they put into their Live sets. I recently downloaded an hour length video Set of theirs with Olga from the Toy Dolls on bass.

yeah, they do put alot of energy and humour. It's awesome. Olga fills in for the adicts on bass for live shows too sometimes, who I also love, the adicts are great.
