The Spent Shells

Charles Whitman and The Spent Shells were a fake band that played a show in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2003 when a real band that was on tour and assumed that the three guys they met at the club must be a band because they all smelled bad. It featured Mark from Red Foxx on drums and Tony from Real Live Tigers on guitar, and Dan who'd never been in a band on vocals, all using borrowed equipment. The following year, Dan used The Spent Shells as the name for the band he played with on a tour with The Malcontent Party.
