As far as I can tell they are guys from Philly who do this for fun. Don’t know if they still perform, their videos on Youtube are from a while back. Here is one:

Not bad.

Every band I know of with “-tones” in their name has turned out to be good to great.

That includes the Fuzztones, Fleshtones, Spongetones and Supertones.

Love watching their youtube offerings after seeing the [_Sloop John B_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmJ6e06eYcM) video. They covered what has to be the [Beach Boy’s low moment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRTlfFlJ4o8) with their version of [_Monkey’s Uncle_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3hVqPhlMMw) which is my favorite Fendertones video for some odd reason.
