The band comprised an ever-rotating line-up that featured members of Steel Pole Bath Tub, Faith No More, Models, Fang, Milk Cult, Phantom 309, Pansy Division and Despise You.
Morasky and Flynn had been long active in the California underground punk scene and were founding members of Steel Pole Bath Tub and Fang respectively.
Intended as a prank, the record was issued with the Alternative Tentacles label printed on it and claimed to feature music by the band Plainsfield and vocals by Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra, although it was actually Grux from Caroliner Rainbow.
In retaliation, Alternative Tentacles enlisted musicians Sean Kelly, Greg Werckman, Dustin Donaldson, Dean Menta and Chris Dodge to record an album under the name DUH.
After the second incarnation of DUH disbanded, guitarist Dean Menta was recruited by Faith No More to perform with them during their King for a Day Tour.
