Taxidermy Rock

About Me

Formed from the scattered remnants of Hot Rod Jihad, the rock n' roll superfriends of Qwong were assembled to do the bidding of extraterrestrial impresario Don Qwong. At an imposing stature of thirty-two 32nds of an inch tall, Don Qwong destroyed his home planet with the ferocity of his rock. Visited by Don in the summer of '04, John Wayne Newton was given a simple command: Rock this planet. Jack Mackerel and Vilmos joined and have accepted this mission with a passion for the ages. Be careful what you mutter under your breath in Don Qwong's presence...you could be vaporized!
