Frogs
 
Milwaukee comedy-rock duo (The Flemion brothers on guitar/drums with a cast of rotating bass players, recently including Couch Flambeau guitarist/vocalist Jay Tiller) who've toured with Pearl Jam and on Lollapalooza's second stage remain a cult taste, despite the best efforts of groups like the Smashing Pumpkins. Legendary for their outrageous and offensive -- ranging from transsexuality to bestiality -- (and folk-y) albums It's Only Right and Natural (gay-themed, on Homestead, 1989) and Racially Yours (race-themed, never released) Since 1980, they've written over 2000 songs. You can catch six of them on a recent EP Starjob (Scratchie Records), and more on My Daughter the Broad (1996). Their debut (on Moikai) has been rereleased, and a new album is out soon. They've also contributed to a Go-Gos tribute album entitled Unsealed.
