1991 - The Exploding F*ck Dolls... not many know the back ground of this band. Most people have no idea about the early beginnings of it. The band's roots are deep, deeper than what anyone knows. Above is a picture of Kevin Edman. HE was the one who named the band, he was the front man and co-founder along with us, the Godoys.
Steve and I are not normally make up wearers, kevin suggested that we'd look great in photos this way...
Kevin had left the Stars from Mars, a Hollywood glam band, to move to North San Diego to escape a certain lifestyle... where he met Steve first and then me. We had discussed forming a band, we had discussed everything from the look, to the sound. He had a real style, glam yet punk. He had a better walk then most women when he wore heels or platforms!!! He was a fighter, didn't take any shit. Above all, he was a genius song writer. The first song the band wrote was called "Little Girls", the second was called "It'll be Alright"... we had 2 hits before we recruited our bass player from a nearby punk clothing store. His name was Devin... man could he play the bass. Real smooth, real solid. Putting a set together was easy, we brought in "City Action" and "Vacation" from our old band Kuncklesamwich, and Undertones song called "Get Over You"... the Professionals song "1, 2, 3" wrote and soon we were in business.
Writing songs was easy... we wrote great songs. We had a set of 10 songs and were ready to play. To test the waters, managed to set up 2 great gigs in nearby Carlsbad at Ralph and Eddies... we managed to get banned by the mayor of the city - the name was "too offensive"so we were black listed by any clubs! The name was perfect.... more later.
