World’s Most Notorious Band Makes its Los Angeles Debut at The Whisky in Hollywood, Tuesday December 12, at 7pm, and begins tracking with Multi-Platinum Record Producer, Tom Fletcher at the Cave.
SANTA MONICA, CA—December 11, 2012—Legend Group Records and Stun
Gun Studios (The Record Label and Recording Artist Division of Legend Group
Studios) www.LegendGroupStudios.com, has signed an overall recording
contract and multi-media merchandising deal with this year’s Point Fest Battle of
the Bands Winner St. Louis-based FUNGONEWRONG!, the ballistic, bag
headed band of metal maniacs.
“We are very excited to introduce The World’s Most Notorious Band, FUNGONEWRONG to metal, punk and rock fans across the nation,” said Legend Group Records and Stun Gun Studios label President Houston Curtis. “Once in a blue moon a band comes along that will change the face of music forever. We are confident we have found that band. While their loud, heavy, groove driven music can be identified by fans from miles away, the identities of the band members themselves shall reamin a mystery!”
What’s especially notable about this midwestern rock band is that the band members of FUNGONEWRONG conceal their true identity by wearing bags over thier head on stage and in every day life. However, this does not stop them from making a personal connection to thier fans, many of which also show up wearing bags and call themselves, BAGHEAD NATION. Called by Spot On Music as “The Heaviest Band to Ever Take The Stage” FUNGONEWRONG is serious when it comes to entertaining their fans.
Curtis, who discovered and signed the band after an exhaustive two and half year nationwide search is producing the FUNGONEWRONG debut along with Multi-Platinum record producer/engineer, Tom Fletcher whose 200 plus album career includes some of rocks biggest and most influential artists and albums including Ozzy Ossbourne, Suicidal Tendencies, Metal Church, Jeff Beck, Scorpians, Dokken, Yes, Toto, Yunguie Malmsteen, Great White, Don Henley, Steve Lukather and many more. The band’s first 6 songs will be tracked at The Cave in Van Nuys, California by Fletcher with Patrick Caccia co-producing. Tom Fletcher will also mix and master. “I’ve seen a lot of metal in my years, and I can honestly say, FUNGONEWRONG is poised to be the most exciting and hard- hitting record of my career.” Said Fletcher, “I believe this will be the biggest metal debut in years.” Esteemed Music Industry veteran, Dave Wiederman, (Guitar Center’s head of A&R and overseeer to the Rock Walk Hall of Fame) will serve as executive producer along with Houston Curtis.
About FUNGONEWRONG
From the inner most cornfields of Southern Illinois, spawns "the worlds most notorious band" FUNGONEWRONG. Their mix of Metal meets Punk meets Death Thrash meets Groove and Melody gives FUNGONEWRONG a fresh and relevant approach! With years of experience and no musical or influential limitations, FUNGONEWRONG will rise to the top of the musical mountain and stick their metal flag deep in the minds of all music lovers. One member of Baghead Nation sums it up like this, “Love'em or hate'em, either way it's only a matter of time before you too will fall, kneel and worship.”
No one knows the true identity of these bag headed head bangers, but legend has it that all 5 members of the band are actually the illegitimate children of famed comedian, “The UNKNOWN COMIC” who some say was “a major ladies man” during his Midwestern comedy tour in the 1970’s.

About Tom Fletcher
Recording engineer-producer Tom Fletcher has garnered ten platinum records and seventeen gold records to date. His technical acumen has been profiled and featured in recording periodicals; he's graced the covers of both MIX and EQ magazines.
At the young age of eleven, Fletcher began working at Paul Anka's Las Vegas Record Studio in Nevada. Working under the tutelage of Chips Davis and Scott Spain, Fletcher advanced to chief engineer by the time he turned seventeen. Serving as chief engineer, Fletcher recorded projects for Anka, Doc Severinsen, Charo and the AGVA Entertainment Awards.
It wasn't long before Fletcher moved to Los Angeles, where he landed a job as recording engineer for Toto. Their successful collaboration extended for years and caught the attention of many. In addition to his work with Toto, Fletcher acted as recording engineer on the Jackson Five Victory record. Naturally, Fletcher developed good working relationships with several highly respected music and record industry veterans like: David Foster, Keith Olsen, Tom Knox and Al Schmitt.
Years of studio activity followed with Don Henley, Suicidal Tendencies, Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Lukather, Yes, Air Supply, Jeff Beck, Scorpions and Carl Anderson. Still heavily booked, Fletcher dedicated 2003 to producing and engineering the live shows of popular newcomer Hilary Duff (including the WB 16th Birthday Special).
Tom Fletcher is wise. He took advantage of every available opportunity while in the recording studio to develop a repertoire of distinct recording styles and techniques. Throughout the years, Fletcher has developed and refined those techniques into a style of sound that is today both unmatched and un-replicated. Anxiously, Fletcher looks forward to bringing these skills to Legend Group Records and Stun Gun Studios.
