The Upper Crust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Upper Crust are an American rock band who adopt the personas of 18th century aristocratic fops and sing songs from that perspective. They affect titles of nobility, powdered wigs, period costumes, and a snobbish attitude while performing live and on their albums.
They formed from a Boston surf rock band called The Clamdiggers in 1992. (Other related bands include The Bags, The Titanics, The Satanics, The Flies, The Oysters and Seks Bomba.) They appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on April 24, 1995.
The band had their song, "Eureka, I've Found Love" featured as a bonus song in the PlayStation 2 game, Guitar Hero.
