Artist description Headed by the mysterious Count Van Arachnikov, this 8-piece specialises in nothing in particular. All of the members hate music and dancing and make stupid music.

Artist History The members met at Macy's department store... I don't know if you remember me, I was the tall one and you were the DKNY girl, oh those were the days, when you could walk in to any department store bar, you see back then every department store had a bar, of course, we didn't call them bars back then, no siree, back then they was called pennyswillers, and I tell you, back then you could walk into any pennyswiller in any department store and ask for a fuel chugging redneck and they knew what you were talking about... I remember one time, must've been back in '32, we had one young upstart come in, "Give me a lead slug shandy" he says, straight off, just like that, well I can tell you now, we were on to him like a ton of bricks on fire we were.... said, now lookee here lad, there's one thing you need to remember when you come a-stormin' in here like a pig on heat, and that is, not to say, it isn't, I said that is the surest firest way to get a slug in the guts... well, the boy looks at me, he looks at me and he says, "Now don't I know you from somewhere...?" and I'll be danged if standin right there before me it was my son, my own flesh and blood, and he cries out, he says "Momma, what are you doing in this here swill?" you see back then we didn't call them pennyswillers, no siree, back then they was called swills, in honour of the six-o-clock swill tradition of the good ol' days. Back then, you could buy two dees of lanolin oil for a cent, and still have change left to buy a bag of sour rockets on the way home. Of course, back then we didn't measure in dees, no, we'd say, Sam, give me three turns of the old lanolin, and old Sam, he knew just what you wanted..... yes siree..... course, that was back before you or I were born..... yes siree.... the good old days.... you could almost call them saladic, if you were so inclined, now don't tell me saladic aint a word, it's perfectly fromulent... yes siree... back then you wouldn' talk like that, not unless you were after a thrashin'.........
