Hickey (also known as "The Naked Cult of Hickey") was a melodic punk band from San Francisco's Mission District. The band often recorded, released and distributed their own music. Elaborate and very personal artwork was the style used for the band's records, and they were well known for their raucous and sometimes antagonizing live performances.

Hickey recorded their first 7" EP, Us vs. Them, within a month of forming and released it soon afterwards. The band quickly became a part of the Probe Recordsscene, featured in the Probe zine and on a few of the label's releases. Later, Hickey made split 7" records with bands such as All You Can Eat, F*ckface and V.B.F.

Bass player Chubby left Hickey in 1997, and was replaced by Matt Rissler (a.k.a. "Dwight Trash"). The new line-up went on to record a self-titled LP, as well as the Hickey/Voodoo Glow Skulls split 7", both for Probe Records. Hickey called it quits in 1998, refusing to contribute any new material for a proposed split with Screeching Weasel, and handed their last recording ("Robots Never Cry") over to trend is dead! records for the Worse Than Alternative It's Another Punk Comp CD in 1999.

The original Hickey line-up of Matty, Chubby and Aesop re-united and soon began recording a plethora of new material under the name Yogurt, almost all of which remains unreleased. Yogurt was essentially an experimental recording outlet for the band, only performing live on a few occasions, and dissolved after Matty Luv's death in 2002. Nine Yogurt songs appear on the All Seeing Monotony split CD.

Probe records released a 7" which was made to look as if it were a split between Hickey and the Voodoo Glow Skulls. On one side of the 7" was the Hickey song "Food Stamps and Drink Tickets" and the other side members of Hickey played the trumpet that was stolen from Voodoo Glow Skulls over the answering machine messages left by Voodoo Glow Skullsmembers and Epitaph Records employees demanding the return of the instrument. The 7" also falsely had the Epitaph Records logo on the back as Epitaph had no official part in the release.

According to the zine included with the 7", the two bands played together at the Nile Theater in Mesa, Arizona. Matty Luv, singer of Hickey, made disparaging remarks about Epitaph Records and the commercialization of punk. After members of both bands had a confrontation, the Voodoo Glow Skulls convinced the venue owner to eject Hickey without pay. In response, Hickey stole the trumpet in question out of the Voodoo Glow Skulls van.

After receiving threatening messages on their answering machine, Hickey filled the trumpet with pudding and returned it.
