Mount Vicious was an Oakland, California Rock band. Their style was influenced by classic rock, noise rock and post-punk. ==Biography== Formed by Conan Neutron and Richard "Wreckless" Necklace (aka: Chris Bolig), after the demise of their previous band Replicator, Mount Vicious's stated desire was to meld the influence of Noise rock and Post-punk with those of anthemic classic rock. Recruiting "Daddy Dré Burgerwolf" (aka: André Zivkovich) (formerly of Boyjazz, Stay Gold Pony Boy, and currently playing in The Long Thaw and Generalissimo), Brian Jet James (We're Gonna Fight the Eskimos Next), and Alli Mayhem (aka: Alli Pheteplace) (The Cold War, The Holy Kiss), the band formed in secret in order to "spring out fully formed". In an interview Neutron explained this approach: "In the Internet age, it is impossible to surprise anybody with anything; everything is old before it’s new. This band was created in a vacuum specifically so that it have that purity of purpose to it, without distraction and the push and pull of the outside world." The band revealed itself to the world () August 25, 2008, revealing both a booked tour and a 4 song ep/demo entitled Axis of Awesome, that was favorably received. After successfully debuting at local SF venue Thee Parkside, the band embarked on a Pacific Northwest tour with Seattle/Bellingham band Police Teeth. Recording with Neutron and Bolig's old bandmate Ben Adrian (From Monument to Masses, Truxton) at the House of Collision, a 5 song ep called "Leather Beer Caddy" was released online () in March, 2009 and in limited edition physical format.

A split 7" with Big Business was conceived and planned for release, but () later scrapped. The band also claims to be ( "very good at sex." ) On September 1, 2009, following a 32 day tour of the United States, the band announced that they were dissolving, only a few days after their August 29 album release show at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco.
