The Toxic Sloths were one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most enigmatic bands during their short-lived but influential presence in the scene from 1989 to 1991. Their unique blend of Ska, Funk, Punk, and "Junk Drawer" music challenged audiences to reevaluate what alternative music really meant.

At least that's the official story. The unofficial stories are much more interesting—drunken band members loading pipes with dairy products, swinging from the rafters at shows like scatterbrained monkeys, selling parsley backstage at a suspiciously high profit margin—and of course there’s the whole series of rumors having to do with the infamous 'plumber cam'.

Whatever. The bottom line is that they probably suck. But you can check out photos, CD artwork, and listen to some of the tunes here.
