Machine Gun Fellatio
Chit Chat and 3k Short started the band in 1996 and undertook songwriting, producing and management duties until the group split in 2005.
Their first release, Unsound Sounds, was a collection of songs by themselves and two other bands, The Libertines and Limebunnies. All three bands were formed by Chit Chat.
MGF performed live at Big Day Out in 2002 and 2003. They have also played at Homebake on three separate occasions (2000, 2001, 2002, and 2004). In addition to these festivals, MGF have played at Livid (2001 and 2002), the Woodford Folk Festival, Rock-It, St Kilda Festival and Gone South.
The group made televised appearances on Rove, Late Night in Sibera, The Monday Dump, The Joint and What U Want.
The band played support for Primus, Robbie Williams, Duran Duran, Garbage and Kiss.
MGF was noted for their wild live shows, which often involved both male and female nudity, light bondage gear and implied sexual intercourse with their instruments. This led to RMIT University and Swinburne University of Technology cancelling scheduled performances. Chit Chat himself was known for performing with just a Winnie-the-Pooh plush toy strapped to his genitals. In 2003, this practice caused issues at LA's Viper Room. Recounts Chit Chat: "The first problem was that it took a really long time to get my clothes off, because I had broken collar bone. But we were still goin' nuts. I mean, I wanted to give the people the full show. Then these enormous black guys started walking towards me and it became obvious the venue was shutting me down. It was a bit scary. I guess it would have been scarier if there were two very large black men coming at me saying, 'Take your clothes off!'"
Overall, MGF released three albums, all of which were co-produced by Chit Chat. Their debut, Bring It On!, was certified gold; the follow-up, Paging Mr. Strike, was certified platinum. Their final album, On Ice, was released in 2004.
Chit Chat is now a TV and Radio Host, Documentary Film Maker and records with his new band “The Stickup Kids".

Famous quotes containing the words machine and/or gun:
“Goodbye, boys; I’m under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don’t surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Resorts advertised for waitresses, specifying that they “must appear in short clothes or no engagement.” Below a Gospel Guide column headed, “Where our Local Divines Will Hang Out Tomorrow,” was an account of spirited gun play at the Bon Ton. In Jeff Winney’s California Concert Hall, patrons “bucked the tiger” under the watchful eye of Kitty Crawhurst, popular “lady” gambler.”
—Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
