Flying Cunts of Chaos (F.C.C) is a rock band on Serj Tankian's label that was also his backing band on his tours from 2007 to 2009. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Serj Tankian was asked how the name "Flying Cunts of Chaos" was chosen and he stated; "Well, I was originally thinking of naming the record that, but I thought it might not make it into any retail stores. So when it was time to come up with a name for the band I thought 'Serj and the Flying Cunts of Chaos' just for fun, to be honest. We had two or three different names, I ran them by the guys in the band and, overwhelmingly, everyone liked the 'Cunts', so..." [1] He also felt that the word "cunt" resonates better than "pussy", "whore"," or "bitch". [4] [6]
In 2007, Serj Tankian released his album "Elect the Dead" and went on tour with newly formed band F.C.C as his backup band. [7]
The band members include: Dan Monti (lead guitar, backing vocals), the guitarist from Primus, Larry LaLonde, [8] Mario Pagliarulo (bass, backing vocals), Troy Zeigler (drums) and Erwin Khachikian (piano). [9]
In July 2010, they released their first single "Daysheet Blues" on iTunes. [10]
In 2012, some members of the band went on to form the band The Hollywood Arson Project (Troy Zeigler, Mario Pagliarulo, Jeff Mallow). [11] [12] [13]
