What's your favorite MASKED band?
i've always leaned towards band with masks, costumes, or a sort of gimmick. especially ones that can back it up with the music they play. some of the bands i had in thought were...Dead Elvis, Hillbilly Werewolf, The Pits, The Kongsmen....what your top favorite?

I think a lot of ugly guys get into rock n roll because it is the only way to get girls, the Ramones have faces chiseld from stone compared to the Rolling Stones.

Dead Elvis certainly plays along with the image well. The Torpedo Monkeys are cool, but surely the Dwarves should be on here as a gimmick band.

I'm probably going to get some shit for this, but I still like KISS. Keep in mind that I was in elementary school back during their 70s heyday, and I was drawn to their super hero image. Before you ask, yes, I did have the Marvel comic book, and I also watched "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park" when it was aired on NBC in October 1978. Back then, I thought it was the second greatest movie ever made, after "Star Wars." Yes, please feel free to laugh;)
Now that I'm a little older and wiser (although the latter claim is still open for debate), I now realize that KISS was, at their best, a musically mediocre band with a clever gimmick and marketing plan. I still occasionally listen to their classic albums. They did have a few moments of brilliance, i.e. Paul Stanley's great Stones' rip-off "Tomorrow and Tonight," along with his other brilliant rip-off of the Nazz's "In My Eyes" with "Love Her All I Can," and lets not forget Gene Simmons' brilliant bubblegum/glam homage to statutory rape, "Christine Sixteen." Aside from that, their material really left a something to be desired.
BTW, liking KISS is one reason why I like bands like the New York Dolls and the Ramones. Yes, both of those bands are considered to be cutting edge, underground, proto-punk bands, but they also had images that were totally cartoonish, and even at my age, I still like cartoonish rock bands.

Oh man. I have to share a story - the night KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park aired for the first time I walked into a room and found my babysitter changing her top into a halloween costume. First boobies ever. As an 9yr old it probably changed my life. I always link that movie with that event. I can re-envision them now.

Can someone give me some insight to the Zombie IV? They were (are) an obvious Mummies emulator, much of the same as the Flying Dutchmen, but zombie IV also wear masks. I love the one 7inch they released but don't know anything about them or can dig up anything on the web.
--and for pure fun I need to throw the Neanderthals into the mix of masked bands.

What are your favorite albums or songs by Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman) or John Brannon (Laughing Hyenas, Negative Approach, Easy Action)?Do you have any stories of memories of these bands? They have been around a while and are pretty well-respected in their circles.Last Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of seeing a couple Michigan rock stalwarts do a rare performance at a local underground punk venue called The 3rd Death Star in…See More
