In 1995, members of the Finks had a band called the "Go-Nuts" who I saw at Garage Shock, in Bellingham, WA, 1995.

Being that The Maikai Gents has a couple former Finks in it, I asked them about this. Lord Hunt responds: "That's about the Go-Nuts. Dave Klein and Jake (former Finks) did end up joining the band at one point though. It was Deke Dickerson from Deke Dickerson fame and Mel from the Phantom Surfers. The shows were totally insane. The best one was up in San Francisco. They not only catapulted the audience with snacks, but shot a rapid-firing bazooka full of donut meal. They used to shovel corn chips down Jake's throat up, then had a contraption that made him blimp out into an overweight sloth. They were Snackers dressed up like superheroes. The car was the Nut Wagon, a Dodge A100."

Yup, "Nuts" about sums it up!
