Sex Factory was the name of a band that Mike Nelson was performing with in the early 1980s. Mike put his temp work ahead of his band, eventually working for Dr. Forrester.
Alternate Universe[]
Inspired by the movie Time Chasers, Crow decided to go back in time to convince Mike not to take temp jobs that would eventually lead to him becoming trapped in outer space. At the time, Mike had a temp job at a cheese factory. The name "Sex Factory" disgusted Crow, but he still convinced Mike to pursue his music career instead.
The band did remarkably well, opening for Motorhead (whose music can be heard during Zombie Nightmare) at the Cleveland Civic Center. This proved to be the last night of Mike's life in this alternate timeline, as several female fans threw large hotel keys at the stage, resulting in Mike being struck in the head. He died on stage. His brother Eddie Nelson was proud of the way that Mike died, saying that it was "an excellent way to go".
After Crow experienced the alterations in the timeline, he went back in time again to the cheese factory to convince himself not to convince Mike to continue with the band. The original timeline was basically restored.
Mike's position in the band is unknown. Because women were throwing keys at him, it is reasonable to deduce that he had a prominent role in the band such as lead singer and/or guitarist. Mike was shown singing and playing guitar at various times. He could also play an electric keyboard (a skill that Michael J. Nelson has).
It is unknown who else was in the band or if the band continued without Mike in either universes.
