I'll stop, but first read this :)

Okay. I am not trying to be some gender biased... whatever, but I also had this instant belief that these were men (before I read the article, I thought they must have been some modern alternative band Photoshopped that way for their quirky album cover. Wow.)

So as I tried to find out about the actual band, I stumbled upon a blog post written by a fan of the band. I had to include the excerpts I found most entertaining/puzzling:

I was a big fan back in the 60s, and played that album daily. I couldn't decide which one I liked best: Frances (the "cute Faith Tone"), Francine (the "pudgy Faith Tone"), or Franny ("the slut"). o_O

Rumor has it that Franny went on to become a successful Jay Leno impersonator in Vegas. It's probably not true.

Re: Franny, the rumor I heard is that she became Jay Leno. (the best is yet ahead)

You wouldn't think it possible to combine smoldering sexuality *and* worship but that's what made the Faith Tones special. (wait for it, waiiiiit for it)

I used to have a few more of their albums, in college. Their second effort was called "Come Inside Me, Jesus", critically well received, but not a but not a lot of takers. Another was "Oh Jesus, Don't Stop Now". O_O

I'm imagining that all these people could happen to be flawlessly sarcastic... But I can't seem to find any indication of that myself.



OMG
STOP IT!!! ROTFLMAO
