Band, 1986-1987
World
The Center for Disease Control Boys were a satirical Western swing band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1986. Their performances included a mixture of original compositions and older songs written by such artists as Bob Wills, Asleep at the Wheel, and Woody Guthrie. Their stage show used an extensive array of props and costumes such as bales of hay, stuffed roosters, rubber trout, and wads of self printed 'country currency'. Yet though the band was tongue-in-cheek, their presage of another Great Depression - 22 years before the fact - was very much by design.
