They definitely do NOT take themselves too seriously - that's a good thing in my book.

Get your mind out of the gutter. Pervert!

In all reality, they're probably taking it to the bank in wheel barrows. *sigh*

at first i thought they were some kiddie show band and thought, ummmm, not for me but good for them for entertaining kids at birthday parties and brisks and stuff ..... but then it struck me ..... OMFG they actually play for like grown-ups in bars and then it's ......

BWAHHHHH-HAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! ..... Not in a brazillian years would i be caught dead playing for the likes of .. of .. whatever the hell that is

"Probe? ROFLMFAO .. just keep it away from my anal cavity and especially keep it away from the children alright there chief?"

PS They certainly seem busy though so i think we need a sacrifice .. i mean .. ummmm .. 'volunteer' to join this motley crew. Any takers? *heavily stifled laughter*

PPS "Cosmos has an over-protective mom who always calls him when he is on stage rocking Earth" .. my face hurts from laughing at that one

DOOOD are you kidding? That was awesome!!

Seriously, that cartoon probably took a really long time to make.

It's soooo cheezy it's hilarious. I'm sure being a part of a project like that is really FUN.

Why does music always have to be so serious?

Dont feel too bad. Texas more than makes up for it with:

Muchos Backflips!

http://www.myspace.com/muchosbackflips

Lick Lick

http://www.myspace.com/teamlicklick

And Opposite Day (their bassist is a member here)

http://www.myspace.com/OPPOSITEDAY


I plan on visiting Texas sometime just to see these bands!

Yeah, they're prolly doing pretty well, pay-wise.

Which depresses me.

You write original music, you play rock covers from the simple to the complex, and a bunch of guys who do pop covers while wearing cheezy costumes to promote a gimmicky image are making the money.

There is no justice, man.

I know some of the venues they are playing. Very "little pop co-eds get drunk and dance" sorta places. So...hey, it works for 'em, I guess.

But it didn't work for The Probe. He's jettisoned!

Cherie...Who prefers being a Rockerfella to being a SpaceRocker Probe.

Yes...and for every Space Rocker, there is a Rubber Robot, to ensure the balance of good and evil in the universe!

They look like a fun band to me. They don't seem to take themselves too serious and the pics show some packed audiences.

The Probe kind of creeps me out. He's got the same look in his eyes as that guy from the Enzite commercial.

No doubt the crowds love 'em. They certainly have their merchandising down. I would have bought a T-shirt just for grins but not at $20.
