Sweet Tunes Thursday: Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13
Thursday, August 19th, 2010Here’s where I depart from the cutsie and sweet and give you a taste of some of the good stuff.
Frankenstein. Drag. Queens. FDQ.
A little-known band that sparked the creation of The Murderdolls (who, BTW is coming out with a new album next month). Horror punk. All good clean fun — lyrics are ridiculous — songs like “Dawn of the Dead”, “Kill Miss America” and my favorite … “RAMBO.”
Wednesday 13 was the frontman of this band and I saw him live 5 years ago or so at a little bar in Cedar Falls. There were about 15 people there so it was a pretty intimate show. He shot me with his big fake plastic gun during “Slit my Wrist”.
Wow this all sounds pretty morbid, but I promise you, if you like punk and/or campy horror flicks, these guys are for you.
Anywho — here are some live gems. Not good quality, but I present to you some of my favorite songs.
Also, for those of you playing the home game — please note … these are pretty explicit. Also, they’re in drag (in case you didn’t catch that in the band name).
