The Ordinaires
The Lincoln version of Kiss Me, Son Of God was performed with the members of the Ordinaires. They are:
The Ordinaires broke up in 1991, but not before releasing a couple albums on Bar/None. They also featured Kurt Hoffman, who would also appear on many TMBG recordings (but not Kiss Me, Son Of God). The Ordinaires were a nine-piece band that played instrumentals exclusively.
Their name would seem to be a pun on the classic country group, the Jordanaires, who, when not making their own records/appearances on TV shows, provided backing vocals for many records, including those by Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline and Ween (on their 12 Golden Country Greats album). Actually the name was a simplification of The Vin Ordinaires (based on the French term for table wine), a pun on the name of band member Fritz Van Orden. Kurt Hoffman's French-language outings have grown more extensive in recent years, appearing as an opening act for TMBG in 2007 with Les Chauds Lapins ('the hot rabbits').
