Artist History From the area where the Tigris meets the Euphrates, civilization began. A few uneventful things happened here and there. Finally, a few years later, the Flaming Bananas launched their career as the most cutting edge, eclectic band in the Indie industry. After the success of their first three singles, the Bananas are taking some time off to spend with their families in Guatamala, land of the Guatamalans. The band is attempting to prevent fame from side tracking them from their main goal, growing bananas in the Tropic of Cancer. Rumors have been circulating as to how "flaming" these Flaming Bananas truly are. Inside sources confirm that all but "Calvs" are definitely not "ticklish". Note: Calvs did not really have testicular cancer. It is merely a joke. The band feels that cancer is a serious problem not to be taken lightly. It would not attempt to make a mockery of the poor victims of this plague, such as Tom Green.
