The Legless girls are all the undead victims of the serial killer "Footfetish Fredo". This is the grimy story of how the band came to be.

Footfetish Fredo spent his whole life fantasizing about being in control. As a child he was raised by his amputee grandmother and Grandfather. She was a very powerful and respected Gypsy fortune teller, he was a thief, murderer and low life. They went from place to place, constantly escaping war, near death experiences and somehow leaving catastrophe behind unscathed. Fredo was their young apprentice/slave. He was mostly miserable, and the only time he was appreciated was when he helped his Grandmother with her prosthetics, a task he truly enjoyed and cherished that influenced the evil man he would become. 

Granny would often tell him that that one day he would have his turn to “be in charge” and that he would be very powerful and inherit the Gypsy secrets of their family when he turned 21. But still living in fear of his Grandfather at the age of 18, Fredo’s Grandmother fell very ill. She called Fredo to her side and gave him a book of ancient spells, and told him to not to read the book until she had passed on, and to keep it a secret from his Grandfather forever, as he would use it for untold evil acts.   

She had misjudged her Grand Son. Fredo took the book and fled. After years of abuse and dreams of a better life he couldn’t stop himself, he read it all, it took him seven weeks, and after that he was a changed boy. Amazed by the books contents and in awe of it’s potential power, Fredo could not resist it’s pull.   

Fredo never returned to his grandparents. He continued his Gypsy nomadic lifestyle alone. It didn’t take the boy long to acquire possessions and transport. Playing cruel tricks on innocent people from city to city he gathered a fortune and invested in property all over the world. Meanwhile there was one spell that both terrified and exhilarated his senses. Fredo plotted a plan so sinister that it took him 24 years for the time to be just right. It was in Adelaide, South Australia, where he believed his dreams of murder and magic could come true. 

The last spell in the ancient book was to bring the dead back to life. Fredo aspired to create faithful servants forever. For the spell to work Fredo needed three victims. (Some Gypsies claim that Jesus himself was one of three to rise again in biblical times.) Fredo was tired of being alone, and wanted the affection he so missed from his Grandmother, who he now regretted leaving to die. 

Fredo plotted to find three woman, kill them and bring them back as his undead zombie sex slaves. Aften 2years of planning and killing his victims one by one, things went horribly wrong for Fredo in his pursuit of unworldly company!

 The first Victim...Schoolgirl Amanda Emblem

At 16 years of age Amanda dreamed of getting her first car, instead she was peddling a push bike home from a long day at school. Her short life was taken around 5:15 ass darkness fell, only ten minutes from her home.  Fredo juped out onto the road, her knocked her off the bike and dragged into the road side bushes. She was bashed in the head unconsious and her innocence taken before her limbs were removed with a circular saw. the whole drama took less than 10 minutes and there were no witnesses. She died of extreme blood loss. Fredo took her limbs and later returned to the scene to collect the body. 

Amanda was in the middle of her High School diploma (Year 12) she was a very social girl with many friends. Her bike and schoolbag was found, but not her body. Her disappearance has not been solved. Her father had suspicions that she had run away, refusing to believe that it was foul play. Police overlooked the crime scene and to this day Amanda is a missing person. 

The Second victim, Virgin Bride “Imaj”

Footfetish Fredo’s next victim is Virgin Bride, Imaj. On the eve of her wedding day, she was at the dressmakers, trying on her wedding dress when Fredo struck. Fredo had been watching Imaj from a distance for many weeks. He followed her from an inner city restaurant, where she had meet with her fiancé for their last supper together before the wedding to the dressmaker. While she was slipping into her four thousand dollar dress, Fredo came in through the back door and hid amongst the hundreds of gowns, waiting for his moment to strike.  

Imaj was full of joy, circling the room in her beautiful gown, dreaming of her night of nights, and making love to her spunky husband. Footfetish Fredo held back for the right moment, but simply couldn’t stop himself when Imaj stepped out of her wedding shoes and slipped down her silky stockings. Driven by his dastly desires, Fredo cornered her in the changing room, but Imaj was no easy target… she spotted him in the mirror and narrowly avoided his lunge at her. With her long manicured nails she tore at his face, gouging Fredo’s left eye. But in a rage of anger and excitement he knocked her unconscious with a severe blow.  

Fredo wasted no time; he stuffed his pockets with her stockings, pulled out his circular saw and successfully amputated her right and then her left limb. Just as the left knee dropped to the bloody floor, the dressmaker fired a shot at Fredo, missing him by millimeters, smashing the mirrors in a million pieces. It was only seconds before the police and ambulance arrived…but it wasn’t timely enough….there was blood everywhere, and imaj’s lifeless, legless body.  

First on the scene was Constable Sharon Beaumont. She was not prepared for the scene, nor was she prepared for her own destiny. She was revolted by the bloody scene and an awful stench of death mixed with terrible foot odour. Fredo watched as she retreated from the crime scene, physically shaking and nauseated. He watched for the hours it took to remove the body and plotted his new plan of twisted depravity.  He knew that his next victim would be a challenge that was worth it, he liked the danger. He couldn’t help himself.

Constable “Shazza” needed counseling after the crime. All the while Footfetish Fredo followed her every move. The master of disguise infiltrated her daily time table; from the supermarket to the nightclubs he became more familiar with her every move and more obsessed. Over two months he waited in the background, until ironically he followed her to a group counseling session at a “Victims of Violent Crime” support group meeting.  He listened with delight when she told of her shocking deathly discovery on the night of Imaj’s death, and he comforted her when she broke down in tears, asking why she could now not sleep at night without constant fear, and the dastly vision of the crime scene rolling around in her head.

 Shazza would not return home that night. She left the meeting at 8:45pm and was never seen again.

To this day her disappearance is a mystery and the three deaths are not connected. What really happened to Sharon Beaumont is a story fit for a horror novel.

 The third victim, Policewoman Shazza 

Sharon Beaumont put up a good fight. In the back alleys of Rundle street she became aware of being followed. She recognized, but was overcome, by a horrible stench of extreme foot odour. With her senses on high alert she was ready for attack but not ready for Fredo’s foul smell, which mad her gag and short of breath. Fredo seized the moment of her weakness. He covered her head with a plastic bag and strangled her till she fell unconscious. His lair was close by. He dragged her down two flights of stairs into an old wine cellar.

Fredo took delight in his prisoner. She regained consciousness much to Fredo’s delight and endured days of barbaric treatment, including toe licking and heel crack fondling. His plan was to keep her for all eternity, so he kept her alive for days, not wanting to rush the ecstasy of his horrid plan. When both her lower limbs were severed 65 hours later, using the circular saw he was in a frenzy and she was in unbelievable pain.

Now Fredo had the limbs of his three victims he had what he needed to conduct the spells – their toenails. He carefully removed all 30, but kept the limbs as trophies, packed and frozen down for future footfetish fun.

Footfetish Fredo’s taste in music is simply awful, and after years of planning and scheming, the murder of three beautiful women in the prime of their lives he made one very stupid mistake – playing his favorite Country and Western Album while combining the morbid ingredients and incanting the spell. This made his long dead grandmother and the ancient gypsy ancestors very unhappy indeed.  In disgust of their protégé they took their revenge on Fredo.

It took a long, long time for the something to happen, and the music rolled on and on… after 66 minutes of country music torture the CD stopped and silence prevailed. It was then that the Legless girls emerged from the other side,  but they weren’t what Fredo had hoped for.

The Schoolgirl, Nurse and Policewoman were extremely pissed off. Instead of sexy slaves they had become punk rock chicks and they wanted revenge!  Terrified of what he created Fredo fled from Adelaide, leaving behind a PUNK ROCK PHENONEMON!  With little else to do the three zombie punk rockers formed a band. Legless was created.

Footfetish Fredo remains behind the scenes and in the shadows not far behind the Legless ladies. Each time he commits murder he learns new lessons in depravity. He is plotting another plan to re-capture the Legless Ladies but first he plans to take many more victims. His scheme is to take over the world with his undead army. But Fredo doesn't know what he is getting himself in for. These Legless girls are growing stronger every day and they follow close behind his every move. They are determined to thwart his evil plan.

 Little things about the legless ladies…

Legless girls know how to party. Part of being undead is to be free from the social burdens of society. Legless are sexy and hedonistic, they are rude and they are outspoken. Being dead, Legless girls have many bad habits, they smoke and drink and party hard at any opportunity. Legless girls like to shock and rock, and they like the night time best. They are very loyal and loving to each other. They protect one another. Their powers are stronger when they work together and at their strongest when they link little fingers and chant “Legless” over and over. 

 About the characters...

In her undead state, Amanda has grown up considerably. No longer the innocent 16 year old, she is confident, sexy and assured of her power. She is a nasty punk singer with a flair for the bass guitar.  With a pretty serious head injury, Amanda can be a little crazy, at times she is suggestive and sometimes she is extremely unstable.  However, she holds great power within the group as the first victim. She calls on her guide, a headmistress from the 1800s called Madame Budini. This spirit guide gives Amanda untold amounts of worldly knowledge about everyone and everything around her and therefore Amanda has all the answers to every problem within her grasp.

Amanda is the lead vocalist and bass player. She also plays acoustic guitar.  

Virgin Bride Imaj has come back to play the drums and sing back up vocals in Legless. Severely disappointed about her virgin status, and would love to have seven children. Imaj searches for love in all the wrong places! She has many boyfriends and guys swoon all over her. She attracts freaks and sex addicts, but manages to keep them under her control. A black evangelistic preacher is her spirit guide. He warns Imaj of forthcoming doom by preaching about the coming of the apocalypse.  When he appears it means that Footfetish Fredo or imminent danger is not far away!

Constable “Shazza” was the third victim, she plays lead guitar and sings. She is pissed about her predicament and is the most determined of the four Legless ladies to bring Footfetish Fredo to Justice.  This shows in her aggressive, no nonsense approach to everything, and her overactive sense of justice. Policewoman Shazza has a spirit guide to protect and assist her. “The Sheriff” – An all American, gun slinging Country Sheriff from 1900’s and his 6 deputies appear for Shazza when Legless need protection from evil.
