C.C. Banana is... INDIANA BANANA!

True life misadventures of a rock & roll fruit.

About Me

Hard though it may be to believe, it's been 5 full years since rock & roll comic C.C. Banana was set loose upon an unsuspecting scene. On the fateful afternoon of July 6, 2001 an ordinary man gave way to become an extraordinary fruit. Donning a tattered old banana costume and inexplicably choosing to lampoon Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille, the newly christened C.C. Banana would soon make fast friends with the hard rock elite. This July, C.C. Banana commemorates 5 years of rock & roll irreverence with the appropriately named Bananiversary Celebration, a 5-star salute to the fabulous fruit. Throughout the month-long event, C.C. will issue a series of new interviews with some of his favorite hard rock heroes, the identities of whom are being withheld until publication. Additionally, the official C.C. Banana website has been updated with dozens of new and archived features, including interviews with the members of Cinderella, Ratt, Quiet Riot, FireHouse, Warrant, L.A. Guns, W.A.S.P. and Metal Church. To further commemorate this personal milestone, C.C. Banana has arranged a string of live, radio and podcast appearances, details of which can be found in his weblog. Additional information about C.C. Banana and the Bananiversary Celebration is available at CCBanana.com
