Skinny Puppy
I just got back from a terrific Skinny Puppy concert, that despite the Nader people outside The Vic in Chicago trying to get Nader on the polls, was filled with glorious anti-Bush sentiment.

The video on the stage during one set of songs kept interposing Bush and Hitler, showed Rumsfield shaking hands with Saddam and images of the war in Iraq. They also showed the full video of Bush landing on the aircraft carrier, but never showed the 'Mission Accomplished' scene, unfortunately.

If you get a chance, go out and support this awesome band.

1. I've seen them
more times than I can count. They always have the most amazing props and stage shows. I didn't even realize they were still touring! Right on! :toast:

3. Still touring
minus the keyboardist, obviously.

It was a great show, that's for sure.

2. The Greater Wrong of the Right
is the only album I've heard, the title makes a little more sense now, haha. I'll have to dig a little deeper!

4. That's the latest...
You should take a look at the older stuff, too. It is well worth it.

6. I remember seeing them at the HUB Ballroom back in the '80s
They have a shtick and they know how to use it!

8. Damn I feel old
Never saw them though.

I did see Neubaten in '86 though!
And the slightly re-formed Wall of Voodoo around the same time.
