A band intent on having a reputation based on shenanigans and hijinks rather than musical prowess, the Naked Apes began their career with a series of organized publicity stunts showcasing them in various public areas while playing their instruments naked. Their outlandish displays of pseudo-debauchery made for some quality photo opportunities that, while lacking the social impact of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' legendary Abbey Road photo, successfully portrayed the bandmembers in the unfavorable light they craved while echoing the unabashed juvenile sentiments of their song "Party Naked" -- that everybody should get nude and rude.
