The Name Game - A Salute to Breasts

Carter USM - Sherif Fatman



Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine (frequently shortened to 'Carter USM') were formed in 1987 by singer Jim "Jim Bob" Morrison and guitarist Les "Fruitbat" Carter. Playing along to tapes, samples, sequenced basses and drum machines as well as rock 'n' roll guitars they would be referred to as 'The Punk Pet Shop Boys', and travelled around Europe in a small hire car playing for petrol money on the pub and club circuit, where they built up a small but loyal following.
In 2001 and 2002, ex-Carter members Jim Bob and Fruitbat toured as Who's The Daddy Now?. The pair's two bands Jim's Super Stereoworld and Abdoujaparov would play a set each, and then the pair would combine at the end of the show to perform a number of Carter USM songs. Who's The Daddy Now? is the closest there has been to a Carter USM regrouping after their split in 1997.
