History

Serj Tankian was asked how the name "Flying Cunts of Chaos" was chosen and he stated; "Well, I was originally thinking of naming the record that, but I thought it might not make it into any retail stores. So when it was time to come up with a name for the band I thought 'Serj and the Flying Cunts of Chaos' just for fun, to be honest. We had two or three different names, I ran them by the guys in the band and, overwhelmingly, everyone liked the 'Cunts', so..."^[1] He also felt that the word "cunt" resonates better than "pussy", "whore"," or "bitch".^[4][6]

In 2007, Serj Tankian released his album "Elect the Dead" and went on tour with newly formed band F.C.C as his backup band.^[7]

The band members include: Dan Monti (lead guitar, backing vocals), the guitarist from Primus, Larry LaLonde,^[8] Mario Pagliarulo (bass, backing vocals), Troy Zeigler (drums) and Erwin Khachikian (piano).^[9]

In July 2010, they released their first single "Daysheet Blues" on iTunes.^[10]

In 2012, some members of the band went on to form the band The Hollywood Arson Project (Troy Zeigler, Mario Pagliarulo, Jeff Mallow).^[11][12][13]

In 2018, the band went on tour with Primus.^[14]
