The band was named after the moniker of their lead singer, Jim Leedy. HistoryThe band currently consists of singer Jim Leedy (a.k.a. "Elvis Hitler"), guitarist John Defever, and drummer Geno OneMore. Their first album, Disgraceland, was initially released on Wang Head records in 1987 (WH004) and early copies came in a handmade sleeve formed from corrugated cardboard with a black-and-white sheet pasted to the front and back. The band put out three CDs on Restless Records, Hellbilly, and Supersadomasochisticexpialidocious. Their song "Green Haze" consisted of the lyrics from the successful TV show Green Acres sung to the tune of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" and was a college radio hit. Due to the resistance of having a band with the name Hitler in the title, regardless of its intent, the band released one album under the name "Splatter". The band and their song "Green Haze" are mentioned in Thomas Pynchon's 2013 novel Bleeding Edge (pg. 177).
