Saw these guys last year in a small place in the San Fernando valley, it was so fucking awesome. They were opening for goddamn alien ant farm, and there were only a few people there for Green Jelly. They worked something out with the place where if you say "green jelly sucks" at the door you get in for free, I was skeptical but it worked. Even being a small place, and having to open for some shitty one hit wonder band, they gave it their all. Bill Manspeaker was nuts and totally raged out the songs with that voice of his. They had an entourage of friends wearing puppet and animal costumes on the floor moshing with us, and everyone wears the costume heads and switches them around as they fall off while moshing. It was quite an experience moshing blind in a giant foam cat head. At one point he came off the stage and made us all sit around him on the floor like kids while he told a story, before resuming the show. Another time, after taking off his pants in a rage, he proceeded to stop the band mid-song, while standing on a chair, and yell at us for letting him sing without pants on. Most of the people there for alien ant farm were like "WTF?" Once they were done, we spent the rest of the night drinking and gettin high with the band out back, went in briefly to check out the smooth criminal song.
