So-called porn rock comedy band Wank Punter has signed an exclusive licensing deal with Playboy for the rights to the song “Super Size ME!”
The Toronto-based band’s song is an ode to Digital Playground contract star Jesse Jane and her "Night Calls" show airing on Playboy Television, where it will air on April 28 as part of its “Best of Night Calls” segment.
The band’s debut CD on the RA Media label, “Wank Punter,” is now available in retail stores, including the Record Man, CD Plus and other retailers and on the band’s Web site, www.wankpunter.com and other online distributors.
Marshall Stack, a spokesman for RA Media said the deal with Playboy gives the band a chance at increased name recognition.
“Hopefully, this will amount to more sales and stronger brand awareness for RA,” he said, adding that his label plans to push the band through strategic placement ads in both, mainstream and adult-oriented media.
The band was formed in February 2005 as an effort to mix the its love of music, comedy and porn, the group’s Web site says. Its members are Feedback, Drip Dry McFly, Gunnar Lingus, Joey A. Bigapini, Discombobulator and Wonderbread.
Among their porn idols is producer/director Mike South, of whom they sing about in their song “South Pole Boogie.”
