Elvis Hitler is an American psychobilly/hellbilly band from Detroit, Michigan.
The band currently consists of singer Jim Leedy (a.k.a. "Elvis Hitler"), guitarist John Defever, bassist Jimmy Taylor, and drummer Geno OneMore. Their first album, Disgraceland, was initially released on Wang Head records in 1987 (WH004) and early copies came in a handmade sleeve formed from corrugated cardboard with a black-and-white sheet pasted to the front and back. The band put out three CDs on Restless Records, Hellbilly, and Supersadomasochisticexpialidocious.
Their song "Green Haze" consisted of the lyrics from the successful TV show Green Acres sung to the tune of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" and was a college radio hit.
Due to the resistance of having a band with the name Hitler in the title, regardless of its intent, the band released one album under the name "Splatter".
Also Dead Milkmen with their indie smash "Punk Rock Girl" who sing about Minnie Pearl, Mojo Nixon and legendary Philly new wave store Zipperhead.
I was once in a very short lived band called "Nobody". Very poor choice for a band name.
We were setting up at a venue one day, when we hear the phone ring. We hear the owner say, "Nobody", and hangs up.
Phone rings again. The owner says, "Nobody is playing tonight", and hangs up. It soon became apparent to some of us why there was "nobody" in the audience.
Besides the argument for a name change, the volatile issues between the boyfriend guitarist and girlfriend diva, and the absence of a regular drummer, Nobody broke up pretty quickly.
That is to say, the band broke up. So did the relationship between the guitarist and the singer, BTW.
