Thee Shatners "Planet Pimp Records Presents Thee Shatners" 1995

They all used to be in a band called the Ne'er Do Wells. I saw them open up for Boss Hogg 7-8 years ago. The Ne'er Do Wells played a set, then left the stage and returned with Robot outfits and an intergalactic attitude. Viola! The Shatners! - steve (steve-...), March 26th, 2002
Mysterious masked surf-guitar heroes who released a single album on the Planet Pimp Records label, then apparently faded from existence. Rumors tied them to Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet or Man Or Astro-man? but apart from the similarity in style and a geeky, sci-fi-inspired sense of humor, there was no actual connection.
Their sole release is ironically titled "Full Length Album", but is in fact an EP padded to LP length by the inclusion of about 23 minutes of recorded conversation with some anonymous drunk. The rest of the album is a string of Star Trek inspired songs (titles include "Warp Drive", "He's Dead Jim", and "Mr. Sulu", which is a more or less straight cover of Dick Dale's legendary "Misirlou") with samples collected from the original series and various ancillary materials (talking storybooks/filmstrips, etc).
Sources indicate the band was headed by Chris Imlay and John Denery of the Hi-Fives and various other bands, most of whom release under the Lookout!label.
