| Dillinger Escape Plan / Shat - Denver, Bluebird Theatre Sunday 13th October 2002 |
What the fuck is this? Three people walk onstage. Dave (aka man-gina) the drummer is naked bar a mask, and he's either hung like a flea or his genitals are taped up. Jerry the guitarist was also masked up has a large pair of white y-fronts on with added brown stains on his arse, and a dildo up front. Jeff, the other guitarist and singer, wears American football armour, jock-strap and helmet, but attached are a row of dildo's over the top of his head, another protruding from the chin-strap, and yet another on the jock-strap. Welcome to the strange world of Shat. They are basically parodying all the rock bands, and churning out song such as 'Nothing Would Be Finer Than to Lick Your Mom's Vagina', 'Fuck, I Stepped in Shit' and 'Cunt Flavoured Lollipops'. Loads of banter with the crowd and the set is over almost as soon as it starts. Laugh? My underpants nearly dried.
On to the main deal. Dillinger Escape Plan seem to be well known enough here, and the audience are well into the sound. They have quite a few new songs up their sleeves, and some are really pretty melodic, and wouldn't sound out of place played on the radio. (Yes this really is DEP) But never fear, the old school manic playing and relentless noise is still a large part of the set. We were even treated to Greg fire-eating, and you could feel the heat from some way back, as the air-con was blasting away making the venue pretty cold. They were as tight and loud as ever - mental!
skippy
