The closed down corner bar with the leaky roof; where the band was born, has been torn down long ago, The Strap-Ons from Norfolk VA started in late 1996 originally as the Pimps. The Strap-Ons are a punk rock 'n' roll band with high energy guitar and snotty vocals singing drinking songs. Traded from club to club like a couple cheap hussies. The band once drove 10 hours putting in two quarts of oil every 80 miles until the van busted a rod thru the shaft but they made it to the show. This is the perseverence that they decided to live by ever since. We got one foot out of the gutter.They have released four CDs, and one LP in Europe of original material. And now out on Digitone Records the "Covered Ass" CD. They have done two U.S. tours with Joey Image original Misfit on Drums. The Strap-Ons are on 12 Vinyl Records (some released Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden) and are on over 20 CD Compilations. The band is featured on A Fistful of Rock N Roll Vol. 10, DRI Tribute, Joey Ramone Tribute, and The International Punk Rock Box Set. Thats why they call us cheap punk rockers from nofuck Vagina.

Quoting vocalist idle from an interview " The Candy Snatchers are from our town and alot of our best shows are opening for them. Well Sal from Electric Frankenstein introduced us to Joey Image the original Misfit drummer when we found out that ours couldnt make the tour. Well we were like; is this guy gonna be all huddled in the back of the van under some blankets banging up his arm and shit but it turned out like he was clean and drove us valiantly on some long drives and told us good jokes the whole time".

The band members are idle, kate, blee, and jerry. Every once and awhile Stacie and/or Melissa will come and play a local show.

The first CD is "Geeking Dream" which six labels pitched in on including Long Beach Records, Rapid Pulse, and Volxdrodge from Germany. The second album is "$4 WHORE" on Naked Jain Records in Palm Springs CA. Valiand Death Records pressed the third CD "Punk on Punk Crime" and they also made a live CD. The first three CDs are original material and the fourth is all covers called "Covered Ass" on Digitone Records this year.
