Biography
The Fleshtones are an American garage rock band from Queens, New York, formed in 1976. The band's core of guitarist/vocalist Keith Streng and vocalist/keyboardist Peter Zaremba has remained constant since its founding, with drummer Bill Milhizer joining in 1980 and bassist Ken Fox in 1990; the lineup has been stable since. They describe their blend of garage rock, R&B, and psychedelia as "Super Rock." Their debut was at CBGB in May 1976, and they were signed to I.R.S. Records in 1980, where they released albums including Roman Gods (1982) and Hexbreaker! (1983). Zaremba hosted I.R.S. Records Presents The Cutting Edge on MTV from 1984 to 1987. Despite a devoted following in the United States and Europe, the band did not achieve significant commercial success and left I.R.S. in the mid 1980s. After a period on Ichiban Records, they signed with Yep Roc Records in 2003, where they have continued to release studio albums. Their career is the subject of Joe Bonomo's authorized biography Sweat: The Story of The Fleshtones, America's Garage Band (2007) and a feature documentary, Pardon Us for Living, But the Graveyard Is Full (2009).
