Whore du Jour

About Me

MySpace Generators Contact Table Generator Banner Generator MySpace Codes MySpace EditorPete had song ideas that didn't quite fit with The Skintones robust sound. Tony, in his usual sensitive fashion, described the ideas as being, "quite gay." What to do? Long story short, Whore du Jour! The band name was inspired by a line from the song "Copafeelia" by Imperial Teen.
