Phanus Phallus Phobias (PPP)

We were growing up in a Southern sector of the country in which gay boys were worth killing in any manner, and since gay bars in that region were some of the best, most upbeat places for rock n roll bands to play, the name was a joke for so many uneducated rednecks who were most proud of knowing how to change the sparkplugs in your car.

First appeared live in 1976, and first recorded with Magellan on "Death of A Favorite Cat" (1976-1977). First entire Phanus album was "Length Has Everything To Do With It" as part of the Magellan 15th Anniversary Collection in 1990. In 1995, PPP released "A Phanus XXX-mas". New songs occasionally emerge from the gutter. In 2001 Phanus reunited for a series of live concerts in Minnesota, delighting new and old fans alike. A new CD is planned for 2004.
