The Singing Lawn Chairs

The Singing Lawn Chairs (or The Singing Lawnchairs) were an American group of female vocalists led by Pamela Zeibak, who are best known for appearing on Residents, Uninc.'s "Aircraft Damage", from their 1972 debut EP Santa Dog. 
To date, Zeibak remains the only publicly identified member of the group; she is credited as such in the liner notes of The Residents' retrospective box set Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Huddled Masses. 
== History ==
When Hardy Fox and the people who would become The Residents relocated to San Mateo in 1969, they quickly met a cast of collaborators who appeared on their recordings. One such friend was Pamela Zeibak, who would perform operatic vocals for the group's jam sessions and occasionally bring her friends, a backing group known as The Singing Lawn Chairs.Hacienda Bridge no. 10
The Singing Lawn Chairs' only recording credit was on Residents, Uninc.'s debut EP Santa Dog EP, released in December 1972, where they appeared as Arf & Omega Berry's backing vocalists on the closing song, "Aircraft Damage" (a musical number from the unfinished feature film Vileness Fats).
In 1976 The Residents recorded a new arrangement of "Aircraft Damage" for use as a backing track to be played on tape during their first live performance, at Rather Ripped Records' fifth birthday in Berkeley, California. Zeibak made her last known appearance with The Residents at this show; it is unknown if any other members of The Singing Lawn Chairs appeared.
