The Dwarves, who formed in 1983 and now approach the throne of punk legend, aren't only praised for their brutal Garage Punk and speedy playing style. The band's various shenanigans -- faking their own guitarist's death, consistently writing songs with lewd and lurid lyrics, an obsession with bizarre leather garb -- have also drawn attention. And anyone who's ever seen them live can attest to the fact that even on a tame night, they're still pretty over the top (although rumors of bizarre, on-stage mutilation ceremonies are somewhat overblown). Even if they're only doing it for attention, at least they're never boring.
