GERTY FARISH - BULKS UP (LOAD 014/016)

FAT DAY WERE A CAMBRIDGE MA BASED ROCK GROUP WITH MORE THAN A HINT OF PERFORMANCE ART SHTICK IN THEIR TROUSERS. THIS IS ONE OF THEIR PERIPHERAL PROJECTS THAT I IMAGINE WAS TROUSER-WETTING LIVE ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE IN ON THE JOKE. YOU CAN SORT OF TELL THEY'RE A CAMBRIDGE MA BAND BY BEING NAMED AFTER AN EDITH WHARTON CHARACTER. EDUCATED PRANKSTERS.

I RESPECT IT. I REALLY DO. NOT IN SOME DISMISSIVE WAY. I LOVE BANDS WHO GET OUT ON THE ROAD AND DO SOMETHING WEIRD AT LENGTH. THE LIVE ARENA SHOULD BE THIS ULTRA-PERMISSIVE ANTI-MARKETPLACE WHERE YOUR JOB IS TO USE WHATEVER TOOLS YOU HAVE IN YOUR ARSENAL TO MAKE SOME KIND OF IMPRESSION. THIS MIGHT BE THROUGH THE UTILISATION OF "NEGATIVES". JUST DON'T LEAVE PEOPLE SHRUGGING THEIR SHOULDERS.

HOWEVER THIS LIVE IMPERATIVE TO DOMINATE THE SENSATORY ASPECT OF THE PERSON CONFRONTED BY THE ART BREAKS DOWN RAPIDLY IN ABSENCE OF THE PERFORMER. THIS IS GUITAR AND CASIO WITH SHOUTING OVER THE TOP. THEY PLAY ACTUAL SONGS: 20-SOME OVER ABOUT AS MANY MINUTES. THERE IS A BASIC TEMPLATE AND THEY MINE IT PAST ITS SEAM AND ARE CURRENTLY DIGGING AROUND THE EARTH'S MANTLE RIGHT NOW. SOMEHOW TO MY EARS IT FEELS LIKE, SOMEHOW, I AM LISTENING TO MYSPACE RENDERED INSENSATE.

I DUNNO MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.
