9. The Ass Baboons of Venus
Edited on Tue Sep-27-05 09:11 PM by Gregorian
I love this band. I haven't heard from them in a while. Sort of a Japanese sounding sexually explicit cutesy girl vocalist with tweaked out twisted staccato backup guitars.

My guess is they all committed suicide withing four minutes after Bush took office.


Editt- I should add, Mr. Quintron seems to have been the guy who found them. He said this about them- "You have to put this band out, they are more retarded than you can ever imagine."

They're known for such greats as-

PoopBomb From the Skies, and Phuket a la Bum Bum.

Dunno what the band are like, but the name rocks!

Also, not a real band, but The Shitty Beatles is an awesome name for a band. That came from Wayne's World. :D
