- The International Playboys
The modern rock band The International Playboys were formed late in the year 2000. Since their inception, the group went through numerous members, including four ex-drummers. Its final roster included Monty Carlo (Colin Hickey), The Count (Chris Knudson), Cap'n Sextastic (Jake Morton), and Joe Danger (Joe Brennan).
The group was based out of Missoula, Montana and was a staple at the infamous Northwest nightclub Jay's Upstairs during the early 2000s. Upon its closing, The International Playboys dedicated more time to their touring act, which crossed North America several times a year. The band played their final show before parting ways on August 2, 2007.[cite news | last =| first =| coauthors=| title =This is the End| pages=| publisher =| date =70-26-2007 | url =http://www.missoulanews.com/index.cfm?CFID=3907262&CFTOKEN=38949801&do=article.details&id=FEC002DC-1372-FCBB-83AC09B1CE1CF2E1| accessdate =08-10-2007] ] Works
The International Playboys are a fusion of classic rock 'n roll, 80s acid jams, jarring vocals, and stage showmanship. The band was well-known for their wild presence, sweaty dimestore suits, and the wild unkempt hair of lead vocalist Monty Carlo, who was referred to by critics as "Joe Cocker, punk rocker".Fact|date=February 2007The International Playboys produced three studio albums, the aptly-named "First Album", "Sexiful", and "Cobra Blood Hangover". They achieved popularity with their rock anthem "Playboy, Incorporated" and their cover of Gladys Knight and the Pips' "If I was Your Woman".
In 2004, the band starred in the short musical film "Ghouls Gone Wild!", which fictionally chronicled their grave misadventures while on tour. After taking a wrong turn, the band ended up stranded in a haunted ghost town, attacked by its ghoulish residents.
In 2006, The Playboys were named Pabst Blue Ribbon's "Montana Band of the Year" and were signed to [http://www.australiancattlegod.com/ Australian Cattle God Records] .[cite news | last =| first =| coauthors=| title =Playboys named Pabst Band of the Year, 2006| pages=| publisher =| date =10-08-2006 | url =http://www.theinternationalplayboys.com/index.php/ID/7ac9a5387edf98034b2591a393ed3411/fuseaction/press.detail.htm| accessdate =2007-07-20] ] Touring and Beyond
