Les Petites Bon-Bons

Description:

Les Petites Bon-Bons was a queer artist collective founded in Milwaukee, United States by Jerry Dreva and Robert Lambert (a.k.a. Jerry and Bobby Bonbon). The group grew out of international mail art networks, the gay activist movement, and the Hollywood glitter rock scene of the 1970s. By manipulating major media outfits, the Bon-Bons gained notoriety as a rock band despite never producing any music. Other members included Chuckie Betz, Gary Pietrzak, Mark Slizewski, Dick Varga, and Jim Sullivan.
