Commode Minstrels In Bullface, Skullcaster, The Fuxedos, Breezy Day's Band @ Hush Hush October 10, 2004

::Commode Minstrels In Bullface:: If music was able to be transposed from one decade into another from the past with a brief nod at what may come in the future Commode Minstrels in Bullface are the band to fit that time-stream. With a nod to the soundtrack music of Piero Pucionni (10th Victim), Ennio Morricone (Fistful of Dollars) and various obscure 78s from the early part of the 1900's, the combination is thrown together in a hodge-podge of flesh gobs under chrome-coated bones of instruments from the 33rd century. Monster companions to Pancho Villa's Allied Panzer Laser Fumen, the strange costumes portray a glam clone-filled beepin' sheep farm for a revolutionary war of the clock hands.
If you are able to watch Evil Dead II alongside a few spaghetti westerns while having your head graticulated into following century computer you may have some inkling to the sounds of this band. The stage costuming defies simple descriptions here. Use your imagination with the given setting I've arrogated to your mind.

::Skullcaster:: uses medical equipment and electronic stuff to make very peculiar soundscapes.

::The Fuxedos:: are a high-energy mutant hybrid of lounge, punk, freaky improv, '60s garage rock, dub, jazz, electronics, storytelling, and bizarrely comedic theatrics. Members' credits include such innovative local, national, and international bands as Idiot Flesh, Charming Hostess, Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade, the Billy Nayer Show, Mumble & Peg, Species Being, and Baby Snufkin. The Fuxedos have fucked shit up on the West coast from Los Angeles to Seattle, and recently made a midnight appearance at the legendary Tonic, on New York's Lower East Side. Sunday's Hush Hush show will be a rare display of The Fuxedos in a more stripped-down, intimate, and naked form.

::Breezy Day's Band:: will play 6 short tunes where unison guitars mark out clear melodies while drums point out their favorite parts.
