"We wanted to be bright and funny." How Slipknot, Linkin Park and the Backstreet Boys helped turn a car salesman and a nurse into metal's biggest party-starters, Electric Callboy

Electric Callboy Press 2026.

A mysterious pink box is making its way across Los Angeles. It travels through the skies above Santa Monica by pigeon, interrupts a sandwich for Nekrogoblikon’s John Goblikon, and is lost down the subway by comedian, actor and metal musician Brian Posehn, before inexplicably landing in a taxi with Dexter Holland, frontman of The Offspring.

Moments later, Dexter and Electric Callboy open the box with great anticipation. Is this going to be a ‘What’s in the briefcase?’ Pulp Fiction moment? No… It’s Electric Callboy in miniature, dressed in flamenco-style shirts with thick moustaches and gelled coiffes. Shaking their hips enticingly, co-vocalists Kevin Ratajczak and Nico Sallach utter the immortal line from The Offspring’s 1998 banger, Pretty Fly For A White Guy: ‘Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis!’ If any of this sounds… odd, rest assured it’s all completely in line with what we’ve come to expect from Electric Callboy.
