The Dead Milkmen (sometimes just Dead Milkmen) was a satirical punk band that formed in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band consisted of Joe Jack Talcum (Joe Genaro; guitar, vocals), Dave Blood (Dave Schulthise; bass), Dean Clean (Dean Sabatino; drums), and Rodney Anonymous (Rodney Linderman; vocals, synth). There are several stories about how they got their name. ""The Dead Milkmen"" apparently existed as Joe's concept before the band became a reality.
