The Residents:
Imagine a band comprising of three giant Frank Sidebottom's with eyeballs for heads and fronted by a giant singing skull in tops and tails and you're somewhere close to understanding the downright lunacy behind American avant-garde music and visual arts collective The Residents. Throughout a career spanning nearly four decades, sixty albums and three world tours, they have been steadfast in maintaining complete anonymity with all of their public relations, interviews and promotions being handled by their spokesperson The Crypic Corporation, whose voice just happens to bear a striking resemblance to that of their frontman.
