The AIDS are the greatest musical experience in the history of sound, there is no band that is sure to amuse, nauseate, and offend more then the 5 piece punk/folk/experimental ensemble from New Haven, Connecticut. The brilliance began in the winter of 2005 when good friends Toolbox Virginia and Hexagon Mustache were consuming lots of cheap alcohol and fooling around with musical instruments. A few seconds later they had written a wonderfully terrible piece of crap called “Socialite†and then moments later had written their anthem “Cum on Me." They enlisted the genius of drummer, A Slice of China, a terrible keyboardist and an even worse bassist for live shows.
The controversial band made their debut at the German Club at the University of New Haven where Toolbox Virginia wore an elegant ballroom dress and Hexagon Mustache wore a smelly old pare of boxers. Eventually Toolbox was practically nude himself and rolling all over the floor, balls exposed. The reception was so overwhelming that the band was invited back a few months later to play on the stage again. This time Toolbox has dressed in full Jesus apparel, crown of thorns and all. Towards the end of the performance he was crucified on a homemade cross that said “Fuck You, The AIDS†while the Entertainer by Scott Joplin played in the background.
By now the AIDS had achieved the status of most amazing band in the whole world. They enlisted keyboardist/producer Mick McMickmickerson and Lettuce Picking Spic on bass. The band was in the recording studio night and day, they were writing and producing songs faster then a Kenyan at the Olympics. They had put out 4 full length Cd’s covering topics such as: Steve Irwin, Kim Jun Il, Anna Nicole (written the day she died), Michael Jackson and his love of children, Chinese Mail Order Brides, God and much more. They had played shows all around Southern Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The last show the band performed at was one to remember. It resulted in a group of punk rock morons storming the stage and starting a full scale riot. But the AIDS can never be stopped or toned down, by popular demand the band is planning on launching a series of extravagant concerts that will be the perfect culmination of Performance Theater, the Spanish Inquisition, and very sexy party. UPDATE The AIDS are back and ready to take their music to the next level. Several band changes have been made, most noticeably the leaving of Hexagon Mustache. The band has reunited with an exciting new guitarist and played their first show in over 6 months on June 27th, 2008 with none other then the MURDER JUNKIES! The show featured lead vocalist Toolbox Virginia performing a striptease.
