Besides teaching his crew a lesson, the name changes served as a PR stunt for the band. It's gimmicks like those that have kept KMFDM in business for more than 15 albums. Konietzko is matter-of-fact about his success and varied -- to say the least -- fan base. "Not only do we maintain them, we also rejuvenate them constantly. It's kind of like we have fans now that are single-digit age to well over 90." Konietzko doesn't find it odd to look out into the crowd and see the Hoveround sect headbanging to his music. "I like it."
