STRATSVILLE, PA—There are a lot of ways to engage the crowd and get a performance energized, but it's important not to distract yourself while on stage. Said one fan at an industrial band's show who wishes to remain anonymous, "At first everything was just rhythmic, but then their energy eventually just slowly shifted toward genuine construction."
The industrial band in question, Mechanical Zebra Carcass, was performing a very stompy set over the weekend when they brought power tools on stage to get the crowd even more hyped. "Y'know, they had a chainsaw, nail gun, drills, a jackhammer—a jackhammer. How often do you see that on stage?" continued the fan.
It was within five minutes that the crowd noticed that the band had stepped away from their synths and began tearing up the floorboards and ripping whatever they could off the walls to build a very well-crafted deck.
Another witness at the scene of the crime stated, "My dad was a carpenter, and he built some mighty decks, but I've never seen anyone build one so fast and sturdy in my life."
Security tried to intervene and drag the frontman off the stage but they quickly realized that was a mistake. One of the security guards was nailed into the deck and still remains there waiting for urgent care. The band sealed him within the planks of the wood and his leg was struck by at least nine one-inch nails.
All band members have been arrested and are currently awaiting trial. Court records show they have all plead "not guilty due to being industrial as fuck" to all charges.
Fabfucktastic
ReplyDeleteI'm fucking dying. Award for most rivet goes to this band.
ReplyDeleteI laughed so fucking hard.

ReplyDeleteRamms+ein would burn it all down!
ReplyDeleteMainly because that is all they are good for.
DeleteAfter nutting all over it.

ReplyDeletethat was gold!
DeleteWow!!!! Such photoshop. Much suck.
ReplyDeleteMechanical Zebra Huh??? Infusion Crew are a performance arts troupe. Not a band. We still performe today for select events.
And actually, we built the stage for that club well before that show went on.

DeleteOh COME ON! How does one "Accidentally" build a deck? Please.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I am still laughing.
Faust were doing this in the 80's
ReplyDeleteCorrection: Faust were doing this in the 70's.
DeleteBut how sturdy were their decks?
DeleteI understand that Einsturzende Neubauten came in a week later and deconstructed it during their performance.
ReplyDeleteThe whole building, actually.
DeleteWhat the fuck did I just read?
ReplyDeleteQuality journalism.
DeleteThey should start a nationwide tour at Home Depot/Lowe’s. They could sell the extra decks that they “accidentally” built which would more than pay for the tour!
ReplyDeleteWhy is building a deck a crime and why did security try to stop them? They could have just sold or donated the built deck to the club which the club could have then used for a beer garden or smoking area when placed outside. If a band can pull off building a sturdy deck during a concert set then they are literally and truly Industrial! Much Respect!
ReplyDeleteIn the studio version of that song, they renovated 3 bathrooms
ReplyDeleteOh, very nice! I do tend to prefer the more sterile sound of studio recordings to their live counterparts really.
DeleteThis sounds a lot like the band ¡TchKung! who were big in the 90’s. Lol.
ReplyDeleteFront Deck Assembly
ReplyDeleteNice. I dig Front 2x4, too.
DeleteSo who do I talk to about you using our photo/likeness/whatever without permission?
