Invented band from the "Left in a Lurch" episode (15 Sep. 1973) of the animated version of classic sitcom The Addams Family.
Butler Lurch lied to his pen-pal that he was a rock star and doesn't want to visit her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, and have her learn the truth. So Gomez Addams pays off a promoter to let him add this band he just made up to the bill of a local rock festival, so Lurch can be a real rock star. The rest of the family serves as the band, and Gomez does the real singing backstage while Lurch lip-synchs.
The episode was turned into issue #3 of the Gold Key Addams Family comic book tie-in.
Lineup:
- Lurch, lip synching, air guitar
- Gomez Addams, real vocals
- Grandma Addams, real guitar
- Uncle Fester, skeleton xylophone
- Morticia Addams, spider-web harp
- Pugsley Addams, skull drums
- Wednesday Addams, her own hair (with a violin bow)
- Thing, tambourine
- Ocho Octopus, horns, wind instruments
