[edit] History
Formed in the Bay Area in 2000 by drummer and principal songwriter Mykill Ziggy, the band quickly became popular among the San Francisco area's metal scene. Known for the extremely loud concerts and incredible jams, they were discovered by legendary Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra and signed to his Alternative Tentacles label. Upon being signed, the release of their debut album, God Bless the Electric Freak came soon after in 2005.
[edit] Band Name
Their band name comes from the supposed hidden message in The Beatles song Revolution 9. The lines 'Number nine, Number nine' have been thought to say 'Turn Me On Dead Man, Turn Me On Dead Man' when played backwards. This is one of the best examples of un-intentional backmasking.
