For over 40 years the US-Band known because of their iconic eyeball heads have been stirring up the scene between rock, satire and avantgarde. The film casts an exemplary look at the big unknowns of pop history who are still working away, or letting others work away at their own enigma. ”He knew the Residents long before he invented the Simpsons. He wrote a long fictitious story about the band for the first fan club. Much of what people still today consider to be true stem from his article” is what Hardy Fox, the obscure manger of the band, says about the avowed fan Max Groening. The band even went so far as to publish experimental concept albums about moles or eskimos.
