Chiodos

The 1988 comedy/horror movie Killer Klowns From Outer Space was written and produced by Charles Chiodo, Edward Chiodo and Stephen Chiodo. After becoming fans of the cult film, a group of musicians from Davison, Michigan (a suburb of Flint) decided it was necessary to name their band after the Chiodos brothers--an homage of sorts. Since taking up the Chiodos name, the post-hardcore band has been busy releasing material and touring the country in search of a wide fan base.
