PROFILE: Anal Banana

One day in Osaka, Dr. Morgan Rutherford, eminent Yorkshire psychiatrist, and his associate Dr. Joeru Tachibaku, both porn enthusiasts, decided to form a band but came to an impasse with the desires of the record buying public. Neither wishing to learn to sing and/or play percussion were practicing their instruments one day while watching a video that had been altered to remove that annoying genital mosaic but as a result had no sound. The on-screen imagery gave rise to a burst of creativity and then the name just came to them after seeing a creative use for fruit.
It is then that they decided that they would play minimalist instrumental music. In the tradition of the Presidents Of The United States Of America and Phillip Glass they decided that their compositions would have elements of sonic space that could be filled by atmospherics and external multimedia. Not playing any percussion themselves and thereby allowing the staccato/percussive end of the sonic spectrum to be filled with the repetetive squeaking of bedsprings, the wood against plaster headboard backbeat and the occasional whipcrack. Rutherford and Tachibaku found themselves immensely pleased with their preliminary results. The top end was, of course, already filled with vocalizations which prevented the need for either to sing. Their vigor and enthusiasm was more than evident and it was their immediate desire to bring their style to the sadly maligned genre of porno movie background music that resulted in their attempt to tour North Africa and The Middle East.
They played pre-tour gigs in the North America including a notable one at the Southern Baptist Convention. After being mobbed by several screaming fans, they narrowly escaped to play their tour opener the following week in Riyadh. Another mob scene of Elvic proportions ensued, the rest of the tour was subsequently cancelled and they haven't been heard from since. It is rumored that they are playing an extended series of private engagements in a certain sultan's court, but it is as yet unconfirmed by al-Jazeera or any other video-posting international news outlet.
