 
People often ask after hearing Wank Punter’s music for the first time, just what are their live shows like? We cite bands such as The Tubes (their main visual influence) and musically, a blend of Frank Zappa and ZZ Top. But they stretch beyond that, into pseudo realms of pop punk and ballads (as well as other playfully mocked genres).
Fist and foremost, Wank Punter is a comedy rock band that spoofs societal taboos with sex being numero uno. It stands to reason that pretty much all of the bands material encompasses that particular subject matter. Hence the name, Wank – as in those who have the proclivity for self love, and Punter, those who choose to partake in the hobby of the flesh.

As such, the band’s stage presentations tend to border on the outrageous. With some of the archaic laws within Canada & the USA, they occasionally stand the chance of arrest simply from their risqué live show performances.
Granted, having barely clothed dancers, (The Fluffettes) cavorting on stripper poles and a myriad of other table top surfaces in provocative fashion, crazy things CAN and HAS happened.
Aside from liking like a ‘theatrical burlesque show on acid’, the band is quite high energy and akin to a rolling party full of debauchery and mayhem set in a slick rock ‘n roll surrounding.
