Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 were a Horror-Punk band from North Carolina who were formed in 1996, and existed until 2004. They mostly wrote upbeat rock songs about horror movies and murder. Proud cross-dressers, the members of the band were known to wear dresses and make-up on stage. Though their line-up varied quite a bit throughout the years, their sound remained the same from beginning to end. After the release of their fourth studio album, Viva Las Violence, singer Wednesday 13 participated in the side project of Murderdolls, which enjoyed mild success, covering many FDQ songs on their only release, Beyond The Valley of the Murderdolls, before returning to his duties as frontman for FDQ. The Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 officially disbanded in 2004, after the release of their "6 Years, 6 Feet Under the Influence" album, as Wednesday 13 decided to pursue a solo career. He has now released an album named "Transylvania 90210: Tales of Death, Dying And The Dead". However, it has recently been reported on the official website that Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 have re-formed with Sicko Zero back on Drums and Abby Normal now on Bass.

The Frankenstein Drag Queens reunited on stage on August 20th in Greensboro, NC performing with fellow NC horror rock band Mr. Fancypants vs. The Satanic Mechanix and August 21 in Charlotte, NC.
The band played at The Somewhere Else Tavern, and The Milestone - ironically venues in which the band used to
play regularly back in their early days.
The shows were secret, unannounced gigs and the band performed as a trio featuring Wednesday 13 on guitar/vocals,
Abby Normal on bass, and Sicko Zero on drums.
The band recently got back together a few months back to write and record some new tunes for the
upcoming box set scheduled for a world-wide release later this year. The band has discussed the possibility of a world tour
next year just in time for the 10th anniversary of the band.
