Junkyard Band


1.) It was released by Def Jam.
2.) Produced by Rick Rubin.

The Junk Yard Band is a go-go band, founded in the early 1980's by children playing on improvised instruments. They are best known for their song, Sardines. DefJam released the band's song "Sardines" as a single in 1986. The song received considerable airplay, and the band embarked on a tour of the United States as an opening act for acts such as Guy, Salt-n-Pepa, Tupac Shakur, The Roots, and labelmates Beastie Boys and Slayer. No longer viewed simply as a novelty act, the group performed at such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center and the Apollo Theater.
