      There are three that I really dig - can't name an absolute favorite out of this group though:

       

      Phantom Surfers

      Mummies

      Los Straitjackets

      That's a difficult topic, since there are quite a few masked artists I appreciate, such as...

       

      First and foremost, Bob Log III

      Then...144

      Dead Elvis & His One Man Grave

      The Fly & His One Man Garbage

      Bruno Gourdo Hot Buttered Wolf

      Nobunny

      Ninja Academy

      Urban Junior (who doesn't always wear the skull mask, but still...)

      Amazing One Man Band

      The Ripoffs with their bizarre nylon stocking headgear and plain black outfits were an amazing band. They had some connection to the Mummies thought I can't recall what.

      I'm sure there have been a few of these listed already, but I didn't have time to look through all 7 pages of posts...

      The Dwarves The Mentors
      DEVO
      The Residents
      The Mummies
      Bob Log III
      Lightning Beat-Man & The Never Heard Of 'Ems
      Tab Hunter
      Tape Man
      Thee Mysterious Asthmatic Avenger
      The Coyote Men
      Servotron
      The Apemen

      Here is a film we made in 1998 for the German TV show VIVA. It's a film we made featuring Lightning Beat-Man and The Never Heard Of 'Ems... Somewhere around 5 minutes into the film it gets pretty wacky and silly. Wearing masks sure can give a wimpy dude a helluva lot of confidence!!

      For frontmen it's got to be the Mask Man Harmon Bethea. Not strictly rock n roll but what a voice! And a very cool mask to boot.

      Yep, Mummies are pretty much it - tho' I think they transcend the typical "mask" ideal...

       

      Los Straightjackets and then the band Knuckledragger (Madison, WI, I think?) who I don't even know if they're around anymore but featured masks and a fire-breathing farfisa.

      How about the Pyramids? OK they shaved their heads, but less is more, isn't it!?

       

      From Japan, how about ED WOODS, lotsa gory make-up. The Stompin' Riff Raffs... three feisty gals and one guy in phantom masks. And Theee Bat, they wear bobby hats, does that count? There are a bunch of others over here that would make the cut.
