| Their
live show (where they were often accompanied onstage by topless go-go
girls) and wild stage antics soon became legendary in the local L.A. club
scene; the band would appear onstage wearing Halloween masks, dressed as
Borneo headhunters or glow-in-the-dark Day of the Dead skeletons with
oversized black-lit sombreros. At the end of their set, they also
destroyed their vintage gear by setting it on fire. Cavaliere would often
spit fire over the crowd's heads as well. The Burbank-based indie label
Dionysus Records released several 7-inch singles, two additional
full-length studio albums -- 1996's Swingin' Singles and 1997's It Came
From Pier 13-- and a live EP, Organ Grinder, which combined tracks from a
limited-edition ten-inch with six tracks recorded live at Los Angeles'
famed Jabberjaw club.

Custom Classic's", Crusin' Songs & Highway Hits, box set. Each CD

and includes a pair of fuzzy dice for your rear-view mirror, MoonEyes
stickers and an excerpt of Tom Wolfe's "The Kandy-Kolored
Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby."
