Band Members: Southern California-based rock band, The Pin-ups was conceived by core members Johnny Cadillac (vox), Dr. Nikos McPhuck Muppet, PhD (guitar), Candee Fever (vox), and Mojo Fairlane (guitar) in a laundrymat in 1998. They added members Chris Golea (drums) and Mike Ramirez (bass)and played their first show shortly thereafter. Mike and Chris left the band after about a year, so new drummers and bass players were used for many, many shows. Until they picked up Heather Culliton (drums) in 2000. She has stayed with the Pin-ups ever since. Bass players however, are a different story. In 2005 Mojo decided to be the bass player so this 'Spinal Tap-like' characteristic of The Pin-ups would come to an end. Shotgun Johnson was added to fill the 2nd guitar spot that Mojo had created when he moved to the bass position. Not only a good band but, great friends as well. Toward the end of 2006 Candee Fever and Shotgun Johnson moved away. One to the south and one to the north. Mojo moved back to the 2nd guitar and they picked up Dementia for the bass and female vox.Johnny Cadillac (Male Lead Vocal), Dr. McPhuck Muppet PhD (Lead Guitar, Back up Vocals), Candee Fever (Female Lead Vocal, when she can), Mojo Fairlane (Guitar), Dementia (bass and vox), and "the drummer" (Drums)

What Classic Pin-Up Are You?

Sounds Like: As if AC/DC, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones and X got in a head on train wreck, forgot all their songs and played covers, and then got molested in an alley by Gary Glitter,... but wait- then Alice Cooper (circa 1973) comes along and kicks Gary's ass and pukes all over him, but not before Keith Moon flashes them all and then runs down the street to score a little H with Mr. Thunders... umm, what was the question?...
