It looks like the Radioactive Chicken Heads aren't the only "glow in the dark" mutants in town anymore...

See any resemblance?

Extreme Gong - 1998 - February 9, 2009
Digging through old VHS tapes and found this blast from mutant chicken past. Our very first television appearance wasn't Tyra, it was the "Extreme Gong Show" back on Halloween 1998.

Band Name Book - February 2, 2009
The Radioactive Chicken Heads are featured in the new Band Name Book by Noel Hudson. This book is a collection of some the strangest band names with explanations on how/why the bands got their names.
Our "Growing Mold" album even shows up on the book's cover!
Here's our quote from the entry on the Radioactive Chicken Heads from page 25, the chicken band page.
"We were forced to be named the Radioactive Chicken Heads because of new government regulations which require all radioactive farm products to labeled clearly."
Two thousand and nine - January 1, 2009
Happy new year!! Thanks everyone for making last year one of our best yet.
In 2008, the Radioactive Chicken Heads released the Music For Mutants cd, filmed the "Badd Bunny" music video (coming soon), and played over 70 puppet shows across the USA with Green Jello and Rosemary's Billygoat on our first ever tour. It was crazy.
We got a lot more Radioactivity planned for 2009: new videos, a new track for the upcoming Barry Louis Polisar tribute album ("I Wanna Be a Dog"), another tour, and an all new Chicken Heads album is in the works too.
