Annotation
Punk Rock group, formed in 1993 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Disbanded 2000. Members included Victoria Arthur (bass), Tom Cloherty (guitar), Albert "Ping Pong" Genna (vocals), and Steve Maxwell "Chez Nips" (drums). The song "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh!" (Tario Records # U-41133M) took a novelty approach, declaring that "we don’t need your Santa Claus, cause we’ve got Uncle Ho". It also suggested that the toys would be delivered via tunnel, presumably a reference to the Ho Chi Minh Trail: "Uncle Ho tunnels, when he brings your toys".& Vietnam War: Punk Songs
