Although The Kempsters never released an album while together, Howard has recently begun distributing No Brains At All, a CD featuring four tracks the band recorded in various studios, and seven tracks recorded live on October 17, 1982 at Madame Wong's.

Recognition

In 1998, Howard won the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award at the MTV Movie Awards. During the ceremony at which he received it, a montage of other actors and celebrities that provided testimonials about him was shown, in which they referred to him only as "Clint", giving the impression they referred to Clint Eastwood. It was not until the end of the montage and it was revealed that Howard was the actual recipient.
