These
guys were crazy! It was so weird. Imagine experimental noise with a sci-fi/horror theme
and then imagine hiding behing a table so that you don't get impaled in the head by all
the junk flying at you. Jetrock announces some stuff that I didn't quiet understand, the
"Niad" opens up and out come the band members including some crazy zombie guys.
Jetrock cuts open the zombies' stomachs rips out some of their bloody
guts, sticks it in the big catapult and fires it at the audience. The guts were like
licorice and jello or something like that so it was very messy and extremely sticky. I
don't think anyone left that night without having at least some of that gunk stuck on
them. He then started throwing and catapulting tons of more guts, porn mags, glowing neon
liquid from glow sticks, and some smoke bombs into the audience. It was pretty gross.
Drummer drumming crazily, pscho dead guy playing what looked like a 2x4 bass (though I
really don't have a clue). They smashed a fan and threw chunks of it out into the audience
just missing someone's head. It was wild. All the members were wearing safety goggles to
protect their eyes from all the dangerous uberkunst stage devices. The zombies slowly
walked around picking out their guts and sticking them on each other. Parts of the time I
couldn't even see the band because of all the smoke and sparks that were everywhere. Klowd
was guest-starring playing his giant springed instrument. There was so much going on that
it was hard to notice any of the sounds, especially with the constant fear of being killed
by flying porn and guts. Anyway...these guys were really entertaining. You should see them
sometime.
