Psychotic Pineapple
From WikiSCUM
Psycotic Pineapple was a Emeryville band (1979-1980) that featured John Seabury (bass), Alex Carlin (keyboards), Dave Seabury (drums), and Henricus Van Holtman (guitar).
Their flyers had a recurring cartoon character, a mischievous little pineapple man drawn by John.

A band of this name opened a show for Pearl Harbor and the Explosions in Berkeley around this time, or maybe a few years later. The musicians switched instruments from one song to the next, Chinese fire-drill style, the keyboard player moving to drums, the drummer to bass, singer to guitar, etc. They were playing with a small horn section (who did not switch instruments). Eventually some guy in a big foam-rubber pineapple suit came out and danced around.
The Pineapple reunited on June 24, 1988 at the Berkeley Square along with Tommy Dunbar of the Rubinoos and played a series of gigs around the East Bay around that time.
