TEMPTRESS
FILES FOR
GUINNESS RECORD

What do Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, U2, and MJ, makes Temptress look like a normal person Temptress have in common?

They've all played in front of millions, but Temptress has claimed the record for the Largest Live Performance by a Rock Band. Temptress, of course, subjected people to our show.

Nasty Habits mix it up at the Village Parade Back then, the act was billed as "The World's Only All-Male Girl Band," Temptress has filed with the Guinness Book of World Records for the title. More from the Village Parade Initially, they wrote back saying that "free" concerts didn't count, that's til we reminded them that the Garth Brooks show was free too....they wanted to give him the record. Since when is he a fucking rock act????

The record was obtained in New York City on October 31, 1997, Halloween with appearances and performances throughout the day and night. The Temptress float was featured on all the major network television news stations and 6 and 11...

The massive crowd awaits the Temptress float

We even met up with two men that are often asked questions, Dan Rather (What's the Frequency, Kenneth?) and Tom Jones (What's New, Pussycat?) News crews were jumping up on the float, cameras were every where.

Having performed in fishnets and lingerie in front of The Today Show taping in Rockefeller Center... Matt and Katie were kind of shocked when they saw the mayhem on the plaza...

Then onto ABC Capital Cities, for the The Regis and Kathie Lee Show,
They had a costume contest outside and a big crowd, the camera men loved the performance, so did the enthusiastic crowd. Michael Gelman hated us (fucking homophobe) and wouldn't put us on. To piss him off we turned up way past 11, you can hear us in the background penetrating their "soundproof" set. Regis made comments about it throughout the whole show.

In front of a large crowd waiting to get in the Jacob Javits Center........they had some kind of techie convention there, people were screaming, we don't know if they loved it or were horrified...

Every one wants a little She-Devil, so does Temptress Then back up the west side to Columbus Circle, 57th Street from 8th to 5th Avenue, We did that and again turned up to 11, just so all the major record labels could hear us from their lofty offices..

While on 57th,we stopped by The Howard Stern Show, they also had a huge crowd along with an on going freak show. Here's were our generator crapped out, so we plugged into a Citibank ATM outlet (thanks Citicorp)..

Temptress rocks the parade as a Latex French Maid,,,, Napoleon never had it so good

This is were we thought our day would end when we heard the sirens coming down 57th. The siren were the escort for the President of China (the country)... the guy with the big square glasses. The whole motorcade stops in front of the Temptress float and the Stern crowd.

Every person in the vans gets out with a camera and starts This picture is hanging in Bejing China, go commie go taking pictures. We notice the President reaching into his pocket to get his camera and hand it to one of the security guards in the front. The guard gets out, emptying the camera on Temptress wearing a latex French Maid's outfit. I guess there's photo's in Tienneman Square, Bejing of Temptress with a caption "See what happens when you are a capitalist???"... God bless America...

Then we moved onto Radio City Music Hall trying to figure out if the Rockettes or if Temptress had nicer legs and better moves. Cast your vote now!!! Since we would never be invited to play Carnegie Hall, we figured let's storm the place, who else can claim playing Radio City and Carnegie Hall the same day?

While we were in the neighborhood, Temptress ran on-stage at the Fashion Cafe during a fashion show, they were appalled!!!! I guess they don't like the trashy-flashy look..

We figured we could start a massive traffic jam in Times Square and get the record for that too (an arrest record). We played a short set of about 6 songs in the middle of the square. the Temptress float then we moved onto the front of Virgin Megastore, the store manager there was very cool, encouraged the crowd, even asked us inside to play. We had our wireless rigs so why not? We even ran into a strip joint in Times Square and Temptress jumped up on the stage with one of the dancers (we missed the photo opp).

From Times Square we moved onto Madison Square Garden, Madison Square is really round and Penn Plaza there was quite a large crowd in front, we think they were waiting for Knicks tickets. A CNN camera caught us there and the reporter asked Temptress, "What's your goal in doing this today?" Temptress replied with "We're trying to been seen by more people today than will see the Stones their entire tour."

Temptress ends up finishing with the day's journey at the Greenwich Village Parade. New York City Police estimate that the days' parade attendance was 2.1 to 2.3 million people, with Temptress being the sole live performance of the day.

The Village Halloween Parade is such a huge event, it was like performing in a stadium every city block. Temptress belts out another song, in front of 2 million The weather (it was almost 80 degrees that night) and the date (Halloween was on a Friday) made for such a huge record breaking turnout.With all locations combined Temptress performed a fixed set over 35 times, spanning 13 hours and 27 minutes (starting at 9:07AM and ending at 10:34 PM).

The days total attendance has been estimated to be between 2.4 and 2.6 million people. The record was previously held by Michael Jackson performing in Malaysia with an estimated audience of 780,000 people. Dr. Franenfurter I presume ???? Each year we try to break our own record on Halloween, we have fallen short since then. For Halloween 2000 we are breaking out all the stops, after all its the 25th anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. We are currently seeking a mass of Transylvanians to join us a we do the Time Warp up Sixth Avenue. We make sure we'll stop by the Waverly Theatre for a little.....participation. The are already building the float, gathering volunteers and sponsors, let's break the record again, and again, and again...
