The Upper Crust is an American hard rock band from Boston, Massachusetts.〔〔 The members adopt the personae of 18th century aristocratic fops and sing songs from that perspective. They use titles of nobility, wear powdered wigs and period costumes, and maintain a snobbish attitude both during live performance and on their albums.〔〔 The members say that their guiding philosophy is "if not great and excellent, then debauched."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE UPPER CRUST INTERVIEW )〕 Their major music influence is Bon Scott-era AC/DC,〔 along with glam rock band Kiss〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RealNetworks )〕 and fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap.〔(The Upper Crust Biography - BostonHerald.com )〕 ''Rolling Stone'' wrote, "()ismiss Boston's Upper Crust as a joke rock band if you must, but give them this much: they're actually funny, and there's as much rock as mock to their singular brand of ‘roque’", adding "there's plenty of worthy riffs and double-entendre wit to go around".〔(The Upper Crust: Biography : Rolling Stone )〕 The group originated from a Boston surf rock band called 'The Clamdiggers'.〔 Other related bands were The Bags, The Titanics, The Satanics, The Flies, The Oysters and Seks Bomba. The Upper Crust has appeared on ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'' and ''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beauty and backbone )〕 The music video game ''Guitar Hero'' included the band’s signature song "Eureka, I've Found Love" as a bonus song. The band has also guest starred in an episode of ''Codename: Kids Next Door'' ("Operation: P.A.R.T.Y.") on Cartoon Network on January 26, 2007. ==Members== *Lord Bendover (Nat Freedberg) (guitar, vocals) (1995–present) *Count Bassie (Chris Cote) (bass, vocals) (1996–present) *The Duc D'istortion (Dave Fredette) (guitar, vocals) (1995–present) *Jackie Kickassis (Jim Janota) (drums) (1995–present) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Upper Crust (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
