What's your favorite MASKED band?

[General Discussion]

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?

How about the Pyramids? OK they shaved their heads, but less is more, isn't it!?

 

From Japan, how about ED WOODS, lotsa gory make-up. The Stompin' Riff Raffs... three feisty gals and one guy in phantom masks. And Theee Bat, they wear bobby hats, does that count? There are a bunch of others over here that would make the cut.

Yep, Mummies are pretty much it - tho' I think they transcend the typical "mask" ideal...

 

Los Straightjackets and then the band Knuckledragger (Madison, WI, I think?) who I don't even know if they're around anymore but featured masks and a fire-breathing farfisa.

For frontmen it's got to be the Mask Man Harmon Bethea. Not strictly rock n roll but what a voice! And a very cool mask to boot.

Los Straitjackets are good and The Creepy Creeps :)
