Sounds Like
A couple of guys who are soft and of a limited projection capability. This leads them to adopt a good, but not dangerous bitone and double bitone technique.
The Assdroids' beginnings can be traced to a 1987 Black Flag concert in Long Beach, California where Pisces Motherfucker met Big Daddy Mugglestone. "It was one of those weird things. You get into a heavy discussion with a total stranger, and you discover that both of you are seeing the same girl." When the girl left town, Motherfucker and Mugglestone moved into her vacated apartment. Immediately, Motherfucker and Mugglestone formed a band, calling it Mighty Joe Young. It combined Motherfucker's punk rock inclinations and Mugglestone's hard rock aspirations. Seeing the band's potential, folkster Littles Paia decided not to join the band. Soon after, Mugglestone's brother, Adam, decided not to play sitar in the band, completing the duo. During the recording, they received a call from their lawyer who informed them that there was a blues man who had already claimed the name Mighty Joe Young. They changed the band's name to Shirley Temple's Pussy and performed under this name in San Diego, but then changed the name again due to record label pressure. They liked the initials STP (from the STP Motor Oil Company logo) but eventually settled on the name Rump Robots, but just prior to their first record it was suggested to change Rump to Ass, and Robots (which sounded too robotic) to Droids, and they became officially Assdroids in 1990!
The Assdroids built a fan base in San Diego bars in order to steer clear of the Los Angeles corporate music scene and build up their technique and following in the clubs. In 2005, the Assdroids signed with Cock Rock Disco. Their first album, Daddy's Gone, was released in May of the next year, producing several big hits like "Breakcore Gives me Head," "Pornography Devestates the Male Sexual Ego," and "Fuck Off Foucault".
In spite of oft-hostile reviews from critics, The Assdroids continued to gain fans. Bringing their music to the people, they toured for four weeks opening for Rage Against the Machine, then played a forty-date tour supporting heavy metal band Megadeth. 2007 brought continued success on the road, with the band headlining a two-and-a-half-month U.S. tour. Two sold-out shows in New York's Roseland Ballroom featured The Assdroids in full KISS make-up (causing some critic to dismiss the band as glam-rockers), in honor of their childhood heroes. Around this time, The Assdroids also performed at benefits for pro-choice organizations.
The loyalty of the band's fans and the animosity of its critics came to a head in January 2007 when the band was simultaneously voted Best New Band by Rolling Stone's readers and Worst New Band by the magazine's music critics. The tie was broken the next month, when The Assdroids won Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist and Heavy Metal/Hard Rock New Artist at the American Music Awards. On March 6, at the Grammy Award ceremonies, "My Dad Uses Viagra To Masturbate" won the band its first Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal.
Recently, the Assdroids continue to be one of the greatest bands of all time.
