Idiot Flesh was a band formed in Oakland, California, USA in 1985 under the name Acid Rain with the demo album "We Were All Very Worried." They changed their name to Idiot Flesh prior to the release of their first album.
Known to tour the US in a converted city bus with Rathbun as the driver/mechanic, with the windshield destination banner of HELL. Besides their "rock against rock" attitude, they were also known to defy classification with marching band routines, performing puppet shows, and playing household items as instruments (in tune).
Idiot Flesh disbanded in 1998. The rumor was that when the band was offered a record contract from a label, that it would disband before selling out. However, the truth is more likely a falling out with Jun.
