OK, can someone help me sort out wtf the Eagles of Death Metal are? At first I thought they were merely a really inauthentic band. Yet I have been lead to believe that they're a Spinal Tapesque joke band

Wikipedia's submitters seems to think they're legit... I don't know how legit said editors are, but if this is a droll joke of a page, it's pretty consistently pokerfaced.

How very odd.

I've heard a lot of their songs, I'm realizing, without ever attaching a name to the band. Heh.

Either way, what a bizarro social phenomenon. I am strangely fascinated.
