Only 1,000 copies. The band originally consisted of twin brothers and former Gnidrolog members Colin Goldring (vocals\/guitar) and Stewart Goldring (guitar\/vocals), who used the pseudonyms Vilos and Horrendus Styles, respectively, alongside Scabs (aka Nigel Pegrum of Steeleye Span) (bass guitar), Germun LePig (drums) (later replaced by Bonk, aka Rocky Rhythm), and Mack E. Valley (keyboards). He was later replaced by Guardian Angel, partway through the recording sessions for the second album. Combining a Buzzcocks-style pop-punk sound with bawdy subject matter, gross-out toilet humour, and profanity in their songs, the band released their debut single, \"Bend and Flush\" b\/w \"Throbbing Gristle\", in 1977 on Wood Records, a subsidiary of Caroline Records UK created specifically for the band. Due to the lyrical content of their recordings, the band struggled to get airplay, though BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel was known to be a fan. The true identities of the Pork Dukes were originally a closely guarded secret, with the band performing live in pig masks. Various rumours circulated among fans and in the music press that the band was actually Led Zeppelin, Steeleye Span, The Rezillos, Fairport Convention, or Tenpole Tudor in disguise. It was also suggested that either Keith Moon or Dudley Moore might be the lead singer. The controversy surrounding the band and the backlash from feminist groups meant they were unable to find a management company to represent them or perform at large venues (gigs were frequently played unannounced at small community centres to avoid protesters). Towards the end, the band were reduced to playing gigs at mental institutions (Vilos Styles was training to become a psychiatric nurse at this point) to entertain the patients. Following the release of the Pink Pork album and three singles on Wood Records, the band broke up in 1979, with the album Pig Out of Hell being released posthumously by Wood in 1981. Bonk (aka Rocky Rhythm) later played with The Revillos, Tenpole Tudor, and Phantom Chords, fronted by The Damned's Dave Vanian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUNSTERAMA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565283197255,"sku":"MUNSTERAMA-26922","price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/0475\/0407\/files\/59865188784fb95b246d008cd4f2bba9.jpg?v=1792975172"}],"url":"https:\/\/0466a6.myshopify.com\/en\/collections\/pork-dudes.oembed","provider":"MÚSICA AUTÓNOMA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
