The Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13
were born from the ashes of the North Carolina band, Maniac Spider Trash
and started spreading havoc in their own native state in 1996.
Their first full-length album, "The Late Late Late Show", put them on the map
for horror-punk and scum rock 'n' roll. With the release of the second album,
"Night of the Living Drag Queens", FDQ signed a record deal with the
European label, People Like You Records. At that time, the band was also inducted in
the Confederacy of Scum.
The band continued a strong collaboration with People Like You, releasing the next 3 albums with them. Other singles were released in Germany and Italy and FDQ's reputation quickly grew in the underground of rock music.
After the successful release of "Songs from the Recently Deceased", the original FDQ line-up disbanded. However, Wednesday 13 kept the monster running with other like-minded individuals, giving birth to their final release, "Viva Las Violence". Shortly after, the band broke up and Wednesday 13 moved on to bigger things fronting the Murderdolls, which also included Joey Jordison of Slipknot.
Most recently, Wednesday 13 has pursued a solo career and released "Translyvania 90210" on Roadrunner Records. In late 2005, W13, Abby & Sicko reunited to play several FDQ shows in their home state. There are also rumors on the official website that "The Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13" may have plans for 2006 with Sicko Zero back on drums and Abby Normal on bass.
