Everything about this band is a joke. The name is a joke, the music is a joke, they even look like a 80th gay image joke. But still they are cool.

ED1

The band was formed in Palm Desert as a project of Jesse “The Devil” Hughes and Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, KYUSS). Josh, who by the way is one of the key figures in Palm Desert scene and one of the main people in stoner rock revival, always said that everything in the band is made with the immense talent of Jesse, and he is only playing drums and producing the records.

ED2

They have two albums so far “Peace, Love And Death Metal” and “Death By Sexy”. The death metal actually comes from a situation when a drunk guy somewhere told Jesse that Rolling Stones are real death metal. Kind of really wasted sense of music. Their music is a mix of simple garage rock clichés and the attitude of we-will-never-play stadiums-but-still-thank-you-Donnington bands. Both of the albums have got some air play and lot of attention from advertising, ‘cause Jesse is a real genius of catchy lo-fi vintage rock-n-roll tunes.
