The Vile Bunch refers to the group of Muppets who appear with Alice Cooper during his stay on The Muppet Show in episode 307. Working for an unseen employer set on gathering souls, Alice has brought his own monsters -- a snake, Beakie, Purple Heap, and a monster backup band.
The band, which performed with Alice on his hit songs "Welcome to My Nightmare" and "School's Out," was composed of Chopped Liver, Silver Beak, Flower-Eating Monster, a shark-like drummer, and a guitarist.
Various members of the Vile Bunch appeared throughout the episode, not only in Alice's musical numbers, but also backstage, in the Guest Star's Dressing Room, and during the UK Spot "Once a Year Day," in which the drummer had a featured singing role.
Although Scooter mentions in the episode's Cold Open that the Monsters in Alice's dressing room "aren't ours," some members of the Vile Bunch had, in fact, previously appeared on The Muppet Show. These include Purple Heap, Chopped Liver, and Flower-Eating Monster. And all but the drummer, and guitarist would make future appearances on the show.
The name of the group is taken from a photograph in a Muppet Show Annual in which two members of the band (Silver Beak and the drummer) appeared alongside Beakie below the moniker.
In The Muppets Character Encyclopedia, it was revealed that they later opened a frozen custard stand near Devil's Tower, Wyoming.
