About Me

Johny Whiplash and the Filthy Pornobananas of Death and Disaster
What once began as five local idiots talking in their regular bar "De Verlichte Geest" has in 2005 taken the shape of a rock 'n' roll band...
Johny Whiplash and the Filthy Pornobananas of Death and Disaster try to bring back the old values in rock n' roll music: Roeselare-based cock rock with influences from bands as Guns n' Roses, Mötley Crüe, AC/DC, Zeppelin, ...
After a few months of rehearsing, founding member and lead singer Heldre decided to call it quits and the band began the search for a new vocalist. The first one to show up and audition was ex-Vicious Oscar’s Dinnie, who did a smashing job on the Guns covers and was immediately enlisted. The old songs were updated a little, remaining in the classic sleazy blues-rock style, and Dinnie began getting in shape to bring them live.
Not long after that, the first gigs came and the band recorded two songs at studio TRAX in Gent (Spandex Spankin’ and Captain Morgan). This disc is no longer being sold as a promo, seen as it has proven no longer to be representative for the band’s musical capacity.
With new songs ready or coming up, the band is gearing up to hit the stage at full force and bring a rock n’ roll attack with Whoremones, High Noon Blues and others still in the running to be completed somewhere in time. To liven up the show, some covers that brought the band together in the first place are still being played (You Could Be Mine by Guns n’ Roses and Mötley Crüe’s Wild Side among others).We write 24 August 2007, and only two members remain, because of different reasons JTW and JJ parted ways with Dinnie, Sexboek and Butch. This does not mean that the bananas are through...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/31/2005
Band Members: JT Whiplash: lead guitar

Jigsaw Jimmy: bass & backing vocals

Label owner:
Matn "BlastMaster"

Influences: Any kind of rock-related music that doesn't quite fit in with anything else and doesn't give in to mtv-ish trends in order to make easy money...
Straight forward-going basic lines combined with screaming guitar licks (hopefully) prove to be a solid formula to attract those who love "old rock" as well as people sick of listening to the same crap all the time.
The main point we want to make with the band is: have fun in music and do your own thing...
Record Label: Juicy Clitoris Records

Last saturday, dinnie, ex-vicious oscar, gave it a try on our cover songs and tried some of our own as well... He did great, chances are that a new singer may have been found faster than we thought......
