Machine Gun Fellatio

Alternative rock band from Sydney, Australia. Formed in 1997, disbanded in 2005. They were well known for their provocative on-stage antics, which often involved both male and female nudity, light bondage gear and implied sexual intercourse with their instruments, their humorous lyrics, as well as the musical merit of their songs. Their outrage-provoking name (coined by an early associate of the band who devised the term from a philosophy exercise) gives some idea of the attitude that pervades the band's work. In 2004, The Widow Jones left the group and was replaced by Connie Mitchell (Feyonce), who later became known as the lead singer of Sneaky Sound System. Pinky Beecroft also left, moving to Melbourne to get away from the band and to deal with drug-related health problems, and later formed his own band Pinky Beecroft and the White Russians, later shortened to The White Russians. The band broke up in 2005.
