Who are the Residents? Except for those close to band, no one really knows. To be honest, I’m not sure I ever want to find out.

Since 1969, the Residents have been performing their unique brand of avant-garde (a fancy term for weird-ass) music and visual art. All the while, the members of the band have been concealed by costumes and masks. The most famous of these costumes being giant eyeball heads, top hats and tuxedos.
