The Ho-Chi Men
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
Raucous and obnoxious metal like tribute to the virtues of mayhem within the Vietnam war. Some found it offensive while others saw brilliance within such songs as "VD not VC" and "My M16 weighs a ton". For shows, Pacific Islander Pat Bucayu would be led out onto stage wearing a noose and then was satirically ridiculed by their beer fueled front man, Ben Brinkhop, under the moniker of Lt. William Cally in homage to the real life participant of the same name during the My Lai Massacre of 1968.
Yes, these guys had problems. But it sure was funny.
