Industrial Band Using Power Tools on Stage Accidentally Builds Deck


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.

  10. What the fuck did I just read?

  11. They 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!

  12. Why 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!

    1. Oh, very nice! I do tend to prefer the more sterile sound of studio recordings to their live counterparts really.

      No one. It's called Fair Use. They are protected by parody law, because they are making fun of you.
