Wow. I'm so out of touch with what the kewl kids listen to these days. It's sorta depressing, I feel like my parents.
That said, I came to this realization by hearing about a band that is apparently packing 'em into the larger club venues around the country, Mindless Self Indulgence. Ever hear of them? You probably all have. I'm behind the times on this stuff these days.
When I was a teen GWAR was about as disgusting as rawk got. However, these fine upstanding folks apparently, um, fling their excrement into the audience and drink their own pee on stage. Now that's entertainment...

i haven't heard of 'em either. mindless self indulgence, that is.
but that schtick is so early eighties. mayhaps they're too young to remember g.g. or iggy.
(even though iggy didn't play with his poop, just peanut butter and blood and stuff.)
