The Band
| We've been in a band for only four months.
I wanna be distorted. We've played out before- but only once. I need be distorted. Just plug me in the amp and turn the volume up. I've got no talent but you won't here me fuck up. Take away my pedal and you know I really suck! Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!!! |

Preston Whaley, of the band Whalehead:
"(I) Enjoyed . . . getting spanked.
You guys are getting tight, definitely got the punk sound, attitude and a wit to boot!"
A bored housewife, UltraViolet, and an unfulfilled school teacher, Ms. Rose, saught an outlet for their angst. Designer soaps, fresh fabric softener, and hand painted linen. . . Spankin' Fresh was born as a fancy femme factory, but creative "woman's work" wasn't the answer.
On the other side of the hood, a young English bloke struggle to make ends meet and keep his sanity. Odd jobs around town crossed his path with UltraViolet his aunt's neighbor. Similar world views and musical interests led to late night jams. With a classical guitar, a friend's fender, a pawn shop bass, a karyoke machine, a camera tripod for a mic stand, and lots of duct tape, Spankin' Fresh became a musical trio.
After a hand full of good practices and a few small gigs, the group proved themselves worthy of recruiting Ms. Rose's husband GeekBoy, the misanthropic meterreader, on drums.
The Spankin' magnet has also attracted a lot of assistance and support along the way: guest drummer and the bands' legal advisor Dr. Max Dersch, instruments and sound equipment donated by artist/musician Ace Mc Vey of E.O.C., and head Dancer/groupie JoanJett Queen of the NRA.
