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".
The 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 Australian Cattle God Records.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
“The hippopotamus’s day
Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
God works in a mysterious way—
The Church can sleep and feed at once.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The appetite of workers works for them; their hunger urges them on.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:26.
