The Mosquitoes

Bio
The Mosquitoes are a long-haired Sixties-era pop group inspired by groups such as "The Beatles," "The Rolling Stones" and even "The Monkees." Not much is known about their pasts, but they came to the island in search of peace and quiet after a grueling concert tour and millions of screaming fans. Their nerves and peace of mind are affected by urgent pleas of the castaways to be rescued. They perform one concert on the island, singing the song, "He's A Loser," but they are further exasperated by noise and harassment that they move to the other side of the island. Lured back by the men performing badly as "The Gnats," they then become threatened by how good the girls sound together as "The Honeybees," departing the island the next day with their supply boat, but leaving behind an unsigned record for Gilligan to show there was no hard feelings.
