Famous Monsters Biography by Jason Anderson

After separating from their more conventional rock bands (White Zombie and New York Loose respectively) in the mid-'90s, bassist Sean Yseult and guitarist/vocalist Brijette West dawned dual surf guitars and glittery horror outfits, and formed the unlikely joke-band Famous Monsters. After varying degrees of success (much for Yseult, much less for West), the two friends invaded New Orleans -- perhaps in order to get away from Coastal showbiz life -- to enjoy themselves in the Big Easy. Having worked so long with Rob Zombie, it could hardly be a surprise that Yseult would want to dive headfirst into campy garage-surf degeneration, but West's grittier musical past had nothing whatsoever to do with the goofy theatrics of Famous Monsters. To get things started, the two musicians worked up rudimentary surf tracks and new monster names for themselves. Yseult became Devil Doll (or the red one), while West dawned the equally original moniker Vampire Girl (or the black one), and the pair were off and running. The first recording of the duo (plus one-off drummer Frankie Stein) was a 7" on Estrus Records, and then the "ghoul-band" hooked up with She-Zilla (Carol Cutshall) and Bong Load Records.

In 1998, the full length debut In the Night!!! was unleashed by Bong Load on the unsuspecting masses -- including more than a few very disappointed White Zombie and New York Loose fans. Breaking preconceived ideas about the musicians involved may have indeed been one of the goals Famous Monsters set out to achieve, but instead of Zombie's larger-than-life metal, or West's sultry, ragged pop-punk, the banal garage-surf of In the Night!!! simply fills space. The recorded presentation was neither funny, nor all that interesting, and besides the bizarre (and to be fair, somewhat creative) song titles, Yseult and West offer little musically. Response to the record was a real love-it-or-hate-it situation, and judging by the lack of real interest in the group outside hipster circles...hate might be a strong word actually, but confusion mixed with apathy could describe things. With such an emphasis on costumes and outrageous science fiction publicity, it would make sense to assume that Famous Monsters had to be more of a live attraction that failed to translate their campy onslaught to silicon and vinyl, but attendees of the band's performance were just as likely to not be in on the joke as record buyers. The outfit's performances could often be a little dry or stilted, making the mystery of Famous Monsters, even their very existence even more puzzling. In 1999, a collection of singles and live tracks was released on Estrus, entitled Around the World in 80 Bikinis, and nothing significant was heard from Famous Monsters afterward.

THE ZAMBONIS 100% Hockey...And Other Stuff 1995

The Zambonis Biography by Stewart Mason

One of several pop-punk bands obsessed with all things related to hockey -- the Hanson Brothers, a spin-off of Canada's Nomeansno puckishly (sorry) named after one of the sport's foremost dynasties, are the other well-known example -- the Zambonis have a tongue-in-cheek approach to the sport that borders on irreverence, but it's clear that this Connecticut-based quartet takes its hockey extremely serious indeed. Therefore, any listener who doesn't get the joke in a song title like "Bob Marley and the Hartford Whalers" probably won't have much use for them.

The Zambonis (the name comes from the machine used to smooth the ice between periods of a hockey game; the band's website proudly notes that they have specific permission from Frank J. Zamboni and Company to use the trademark) formed in suburban Fairfield County, CT, in 1992. Singer/guitarist Dave Schneider, guitarist Jon Aley (who also plays what the group proudly refers to as "cheesy hockey rink organ"), bassist Peter Katis, and his drummer brother Tarquin Katis were die-hard hockey fans who started the band expressly to celebrate their mutual obsession in song. After gigging around Connecticut for a few years developing an audience among their fellow hockey obsessives, the Zambonis released 1996's 100% Hockey...and Other Stuff, which featured "Avalanche," a song of praise for the new Stanley Cup winners the Colorado Avalanche that got a ton of airplay in the hockey world and eventually was adopted as the team's official anthem.

The following year saw the release of Play-Off Fever!, featuring the hardcore thrash of "Lost My Teeth" and the tongue-in-cheek "CCM PSA (The Helmet Song)," a cautionary tale directed toward helmetless player Craig McTavish. Several songs from this EP eventually appeared on 1999's full-length More Songs About Hockey...and Buildings and Food, which also featured the hilarious morality play "Johnny Got Suspended." In 2000, the band self-released a limited-edition CD, To Bleed Black and Gold, in honor of their beloved Boston Bruins.
