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.
