Temptress, the 'World's Only All-Male Girl Band,' has filed with the Guinness Book of World Records for the record of performing in front of the largest audience ever in a single day. 'We believe we achieved the record in New York City Oct. 31, 1997, Halloween night, performing in fishnets and lingerie throughout the day on a moving flatbed truck,' said group leader Kandi Asse, aka Chuck Garabedian.
By performing a continuous set more than 35 times, spanning 13 hours and 27 minutes, New York City police estimated the day's total 'attendance' for the band to be between 2.4 million and 2.6 million people. If approved by the Guinness folks, that would top Michael Jackson's previous record of performing in front of an estimated 600,000 in Malaysia
