I just saw them in a place the size of a high school bathroom. It was loud and totally sick. Brian Chippendale warned a guy in the front to put ear plugs in or he would be "decimated." A guy who calls himself Mudboy opened up. He was interesting. I think he may take acid. Also, he might play dungeons and dragons a lot. His character would be a druid. A druid with a synthesizer and theatrical lighting. I had never heard of him before the show, so I checked out his myspace, but I dismissed him very quickly. That said, he won me over live, not because of his amazing songs, but because it was so freaking weird. He blends pleasant sounding synthesized tones with what appear to be nature recordings, and then he starts chanting and yelling about "the pig" and throwing babies in a hole. It's totally worth checking him out live just for the "what the fuck?" factor.

It's a really cool place. They sell records, and they have film screenings and musical performances.
