Get your lance ready to go, because our friend Myk (AKA: ToonSmyth) has turned out a FANTASTIC video for our song At The Renaissance!!!
Spread it around like herpes viral infection of the eye!
This video for Midget Sex was the product of some down time in the studio... I think Mr. Wilson said it best when he realized that his life was a lie and violently interrogated his beloved Martha as to the whereabouts of his "G.D. garden lanterns".
The Latest News
Hello everybody! After much inquiry, here's a rather lengthy update of what's been going on at the Plecoland Ranch over the past several months: We purchased the Neverland Ranch at auction, burned it to the ground, then renamed it. We've completed a round of updates on our website, as well as on our online holy trinity: Myspace, Twitter, and yes, even the dreaded Facebook for all the old girlfriends and pedophiles out there. We've been working tirelessly on our new album, and we hope to give you a sneak peak at the end of the year before we blow our wad in January 2010. We've created a bunch of new merchandise, and as soon as we get it back from the Chineese children it will be for sale in our online store... check back to see if it's in! We are booking shows for a series of upcoming "mini-tours" across this great land of ours, and we'll be playing some shows in the great City of Tears (AKA: Omaha ) this fall. If you're interested in helping us promote Pleco, send us an email and we'll reward you in ways that only we can... until then, be a good soldier and check out all our sites, spread the good word of Pleco to all your friends, and then give yourself a big hug... and then jerk off in the shower.
Band Bio
Like a prancing unicorn proudly waving its erect staff in the diamond speckled rainbow colored sky, the alternative comedy-rock band Plecostomus radiates a shining beacon of light and hope penetrating the storm clouds of melodic mediocrity tenaciously gnawing on the world's musical nut sac.
According to legend, Plecostomus was formed in the fall of 2001 when a spermatozoa named Matt met an egg named Jimmy in the uterus known as Omaha , Nebraska . After surveying the monotonous and depressing state of music at the time, Pleco developed a revolutionary approach to song writing founded in catchy melodies and often politically incorrect lyrics laced with reckless wit and unabashed humor stemming from a combination of recreational stimulants and sexual frustration. They called their innovative idea “entertainment” which, when combined with a kick-ass live show, freed even the most prude breasts from the tyrannical grip of a filthy bra.
And so it was…
In early 2004, following two years of around-the-clock recording and masturbation, Plecostomus released their debut album Welcome to the Ple-ground. The 30 track, 80 minute masterpiece featured the college radio hit Conor, and the critical acclaim and vast wealth generated by the success of the album fueled speculation of Pleco's involvement in illegal weapons trafficking and organized crime.
With bank accounts overflowing and cocks sucked raw, Plecostomus was on top of the world. Tragically, following a brief stint as a member of the baroque supergroup "The Figs of Winter”, Pleco lost everything on a single roll of the die at Chief Snake Eye's Indian Casio and Resort in Atlantic City . Forced with no other option, Matt and Jimmy pawned their instruments for one final all-Asian sex tour, and spent the next three years living in a dumpster behind the world-renowned Omaha Airport Ramada Inn.
But all was not lost…
In 2007, after hitting it big on a lucky lotto scratch ticket, Plecostomus bought back their instruments and returned to the studio to record their sophomore album Society in General, which featured their second college radio hit Fat America. Other chartbusters such as The Poop Song and Roller Skating have since made their way to the top of internet playlists, and the accompanying animated music video for their song At the Renaissance has been hailed by online critics as “more liberating than two girls one cup”. In addition, Pleco's song The Sun was banned from radio airplay nationwide after one Iowa station received numerous complaints from someone at the FCC with a busted-off double jelly dong stuck up their ass. Such unanimous favor can only affirm that the light shining down upon Matt and Jimmy is brighter than ever, and Pleco has vowed to continue to make their way to the front of strip club lines across the country with testicles descended and meat fully erect.
Currently, Plecostomus is locked away in their secret underground lair laying down tracks for their long awaited third album, which is scheduled for release in January 2010. Sources close to the band indicate that the album will be “pretty good” and will most likely be recorded in English. When they aren't recording, Matt and Jimmy enjoy practicing for their next live show, sexing their concubines, and spending what little money they legally accrue from peddling their wares trying to impress people by informing them that Plecostomus sucks.
You rocked last night, I don't care what you say to uphold the "image" of Pleco sucking. It's an act to fit in with the name. You kicked ass and I really loved it.
ha ha love it. and never take down fat america. the first time i heard it was up near rosenblatt stadium for the 4th of july fireworks. my friends and i blocked off a big area for us to toss a frisby around with our cars. and two fat people with 17 backs of mcdonalds walked up set their chairs down in our marked off area and that song came on. so i turned it all the way up and grabbed the radio and walked over to them and they got mad and left. i held the radio level with their ears.
The video is fucking awesome... that was some funny shit... and you don't owe me any drinks... shit... just show me where the hell to go when i come up there.. as I have no clue!
make a song about the pedestrian bridge, and good job on the video. You should film a live one at the rennaisance fair at westfair. it would be party fest 2010.
