Drag City put out a compilation last year of there recordings,including a live show.

It was traditional to boo them after each song. The Butthole Surfers- Their shows might be a little more toned down once they got bigger (no neked dancers), but in the mid to late 80s, it was generally advised not to do acid for the first time before seeing them. Gwar- Never actually seen them, but people go see them based on their rep for live shows. Green Day- An extra ticket from my sister allowed me to see this phenomenon. Parents sit in the back risers/bleachers while their 14 year old kids dance around to the sound of a lead singer swearing, spitting, and promoting drug use on stage. Security watches out for people throwing things (remember Woodstock '94?). Pink Floyd- I was taking a whiz when the flying pigs came out. Couldn't get a refund. Damnit.

The crowd thought they were a real metal band and really hated them! One girl who was really outraged jumped onstage and ripped Ann's big hair wig off, right in the middle of a song about Ann's pet pig.

This was probably around May of '90 or so. I'd seen The Senders earlier in the evening, somewhere over around Avenue A. But after that it was time to head over to CBGB's for a VERY late-night set by The Headless Horsemen, who were doing their last local show before a Euro tour. They must've gone on sometime around 2:30 or so in the morning and there was *not* much of a crowd. (Those guys weren't nearly as appreciated as they deserved, especially by this point in time.) The crowd consisted of the core Horsemen fans (a group of maybe 15-20 who'd make sure we hit every local show they did, plus some out of town ones when possible), a few others who liked 'em, and about 10 drunken metalheads from Queens who must've shown up to CB's 'cuz they'd heard of its "legendary" status. Well, as it was rather late in the evening, these guys were out of control. A couple of 'em were jumping up on the stage and jumping around like they belonged in the monkey cage at the Bronx Zoo. Seeing that the club wasn't doing jack about this, bassist Pete Stuart started batting these guys off the stage with his bass. (He had quite the slugging pct. that night.) Of course, these guys didn't stop there. They were acting like considerable jerks, so this one girl who we knew - Kim Dicce - asked them to please stop. Well, at some point, things must've escalated. By the time the band was done, one of these morons was friggin' CHOKING her! Well, my pal Pat Lozito starts trying to pry this creep off Kim's neck and one of his pals starts in on Pat. This is all unfolding in seemingly slow motion in front of my eyes when BLAMMO, I feel something hit me HARD and fast in the jaw. I turn around to see what the hell just happened and I see this big guy (one of the other metallic morons) standing about 5 feet away, holding a chair over his head in a menacing manner telling me to "COME ON!" I just kinda looked at him. (Thinking, "Yeah, sure, I'll come after you and let you hit me with a chair. I'd have to be as stupid as YOU!") The lesson I learned that night... I evidently do *not* have a glass jaw. So nice to know. ------------------------------ Date: 20 Feb 99 15:27:10 -0500 From: "Blair" Subject: Re: Re: Fun or Outrageous Antics >I saw Ann Magnuson's heavy metal satire band, Vulcan Death Grip, open for >Jesus & Mary Chain at NYC's Ritz club in 1986.

On a more modern slant, the BellRays gotta be the best rock'n'soul band out there today. I *highly* recommend their "Let It Blast" cd on Vital Gesture. This is from their promo sheet: The BELLRAYS combine elements of the MC5, the Who, 60's soul, 70's funk, Miles Davis, James Brown, tone poetry, Black Flag, Funkadelic, evil blues and punk rock jackhammer noise.

One of my favorite live shows ever was the Buttholes back in about 1986-87 in my tender teenage years...I seem to remember it being an allages afternoon show at the channel, yet somehow they managed to have the bald, nude gogo dancer and a loop of film playing behind them that kept swithching between scenes of a daschund race and *graphic *documentary footage of a sex change operation.

I made sure I dodn't tell my mom about THAT show... >Gwar- >Never actually seen them, but people go see them based on their rep for > live shows. >> I got to see them at this usually eurotrash disco in Boston called Avalon in 1990....even if you HATE their music, you gotta love their show (at least if youre a gorehound). They had a fake synthesier depeche-mode esque band come out as an opener, and in the middle of their set, Gwar stormed the stage and ripped their arms off, drenching the crowd in fake blood. From there on in, it was a nearly constant shower of fake blood , gore and *other* liquids (fake, THANK GOD...). The pit was wild, because the floor, the walls, everything was covered in all the slipperry gore..at one point I was crowd surfing and some metalheads tried to get fresh with me, so I starting kicking heads from on high, which apparently the band enjoyed as he was urging the crowd to push me forward in a nearly sacrificial manner. I had to somersault off the top of the crowd to get away from him! Quite possibly the best part was in leaving the show.....it was an early evening show, so they still wanted to open the club for the euro disco (how they expected to clean that place in time I'll NEVER know). There's a line of versace clad, over cologned line of avalon regulars waiting outside, and we all come trudging out of what must have looked like the bowels of hell itself, covered in sweat and fake blood.
