specifically his profilic output of pop schmaltz, which he generates of defiance of discernable, albeit technical, talent, and the ABILITY to create more interesting music. The penalty sought is death.
Remember your high school prom? Are you ready to forget it?
You're gonna get lucky for sure, dancing and romancing to the sounds of:
the R&B Free-Jazz Gospel Supreme 80
& fab prom DJ, Adam Infanticide
This is bound to be an evening you won't soon forget, at least until the morning (the plentiful spiked punch will make you don't remember a damned thing).
Quality art by your classmates, Eric Meltesen, Adam Beebe and others, or at least who you wish had been your classmates instead of the losers who really were.
The young and beautiful will make and break love connections galore, especially with you.
Do not miss the Mishap Prom or prepare to suffer a horrible inferiority complex for months afterwards. This year's theme: "enchanting tropical paradise".

And hey - why not stop by at noon to see Darren "Black Thor" Jones' other project, Shadz of Red, rock out as well? It's not like you can get too much rock in your life, am I freakin' right, here?!?!?

Make your way down by 10pm for America's "other" favorite band, Psycho Rainbow!!! To be followed thereafter by the Teens themselves.
Not sure why you should be so damn pumped to see The Missing Teens live? Go to their website and find out for yourself why they're being described as "like a sensual massage from a young Bill Clinton on meth" and "the top suspects for the future assassination of the Jonas Brothers."

Finally...be our fan on Facebook! Why not? You know all you do is sit around on Facebook all day updating your status message and shit.
The Missing Teens
Zoyres, The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club, Damon & The Heathens
Mardi Gras celebrations all over the world traditionally culminate on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (the name Mardi Gras actually means Fat Tuesday as it turns out). From what I understand the idea is to get all your sinning out before Lent when you have to give everything up.
Who better to celebrate this day of decadence with than The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club? After all, they take the second part of their name from the societies of people who build Mardi Gras floats for New Orleans-groups who call themselves “Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs”, and they know a thing or two about getting the sinning started!
Of course anyone who’s seen the Gomorrans before knows that they’re more then just a great Mardi Gras band. Blending elements of Vaudeville, Motown, freak-out psychedelia and a New Orleans funeral you’ll be kicking yourself all through Lent if you miss their return to
Also playing that night, Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment will help you get all your sins out the traditional Eastern European way with their unique take on that region's music. And for the heathens in the bunch who just want to drink away there nihilism, there’s the horn-filled soul jazz apocalypse of Damon and Heathens.
A night to remember… or forget if you do it right.
f humor, your charming personality and your good looks. This record made me contemplate a very fundamental question which Spandex Tiger must face eventually. Can a band so based on there live performance ever be captured on a recording?
A Spandex Tiger show is a full fledged uber-sleaze cock-rock reality show. There stage setup includes a Casiotone, a real toilet and lead singer Rich Filthy is always dressed in the eponymous tiger print spandex pants. The whole show brings us back to 1989 in a very real way. The rest of the band plays other late 80’s characters including there guitarist, Tankkoray who dresses as a sort of wanna’ be gangster complete with wrap around shades and a bandana. The whole band is dedicated to a true love of old English 40’s.
When you leave a Spandex Tiger show your left wondering just what it is you saw. The whole concept may appear ironic, it may seem like a joke, but they play it so straight and they play there instruments so well. Worse half way through the show you find yourself no longer enjoying the show ironically from the outside you’ve become fully involved in the world of the band. You where actually “rocking out” to the funk filled neo butt rock. You where singing along to a song about hemorrhoids.
So I think I’ve expressed that live they brilliantly straddle the line between the truly stupid and the sublimely brilliant. I’m not sure if it’s possible to translate this feeling onto CD but I do know that this debut album did not achieve it. The album’s subject matter ranges from accidental tranny sex in
Of coarse this is there first album and in truth what there doing is juvenile potty humor in the best way. Still there must be some way to translate the true love affair this band has for its subject matter. I truly believe that they want to make the great late 80's’s funk-cock rock album that was never made in it’s own time. Maybe they should put there next record our on cassette tape.
