For
Friday night, we have a serious blowout of ghoulish local entertainment
planned! We have 3 bands, a Brain-eating contest, and a live skit
demonstrating what happens when an unwary girl finds herself on
an island full of hungry zombies!
First
up we have local Luchador heroes, The
World Police! “Punk, Street Rock, Rock N
Roll Party Vikings, celebrating the mainstream following the underground's
descent into the best parts of the Roman Empire... ...Sex, Violence,
Sin, Greed, Power, Orgies ... making hot rock that leads to the
rising up of our glory! Lucha Libre! The Real Rock Underground,
Punks, Psychos, and all other freaks that keep it real rock and
maxxx and want to party!” Says their website.
Playing
Rock and Punk originals as well as covers, with some unbridled
insanity, and a hint of comedy, all the while proudly dressed
in their Luchador (Mexican wrestling) gear, these “Rock
n’ Roll party Vikings are sure to entertain!
Next
up will be The Geargrinders.
Truly a “St. Louis rock'n'roll band. The brainchild of Jeff
Hess (Host of “Afternoon Delight” Wed. afternoons
on 88.1 KDHX in St. Louis, and former member of legendary local
bands, Hippies in Flames, Drunkabilly & the UnMutuals. The
band originally existed 1996-1999 then reformed with a new lineup
in 2007 to carry the torch of RAW POWER. Watch out world...”
With their unique blend of traditional Garage Rock and a little
bit of Country/Rockabilly, these rockers are sure to “blow
the doors off” for anyone in attendance
Third,
we’ll have a live skit from Malign
Productions, featuring The
Metal Maidens From Granite City’s own Metal
Hedz, and members of our headlining band, Trash
N’ Suicide. Without giving too much away,
I can tell you that the caper centers on poor Bobbie-Sue, who
finds herself trapped on a strange island, whose inhabitants,
controlled by a sinister Witch doctor, have an insatiable taste
for nubile human flesh, and no use for clothing!
Lastly,
for the finale of the weekends kick-off, Trash
N' Suicide (St. Louis’ premiere Horror-punk
act) bring you hideous tales resurrected from tombs, decaying
graves, vaults of death and the blood soaked lips of vampires!
With their raucous stage show filled with spooky antics, their
blood, guts, and gore punk-rock attitude, they are sure to terrify
and thrill even those with a strong constitution! In this frightening
and unique exhibition, you will hear songs of true terror, of
grave robbers, of ghosts, of werewolves, of necrophiles, of Black
Death, of live burials, of barren graves, and of the most ghoulish,
demonic atrocities ever to burden mankind!
Influenced
by the likes of T.S.O.L., Alice Cooper, 45 Grave, Baby Jane, Sid
Terror’s Undead, Rocky Erickson, Screaming Lord Such, The
Misfits, and The Damned, these ghouls have been frightening St.
Louis with their demented brand of horror-punk for over three
years!
Described
as “Southern-fried horror-punk meets Death-rock,”
These hard driving monsters embody the motto; “Punk is dead,
and it wants to eat your brains!”
There
will also be a brain-eating contest for volunteers from the audience.
Here is where we separate the men from the ghouls! There will
be a prize awarded to the gastronomic-ghoul who consumes the most
brains (procured ahead of time by us) in the allotted time. Of
course, there’s also bragging rights few could ever top!
Of
course to keep the party going, (after all, it’s not a convention
without drunkenly cavorting with like minded ghouls till the wee
hours!) local DJs will be spinning your favorite Horror and hard
rock in between acts, and afterwards until good sense and good
taste dictate an end.
