Description
King Missile (US) // Live in Sydney
John S. Hall and Dogbowl are the co-founders of King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) the original incarnation of a group that, in various forms, was a college radio staple in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
In its various forms, King Missile released a string of songs that were resoundingly embraced by American college radio, including “Take Stuff From Work,” “Wuss,” “Sensitive Artist,” “Jesus Was Way Cool,” “Cheesecake Truck,” “Martin Scorsese,” and the hugely popular “Detachable Penis.”
John S. Hall and Dogbowl will perform together this Spring in Australia under the name King Missile (Dog Fly Religion). This will be the group’s first time performing in Australia.
Joining King Missile are A FISTFUL OF MU MESONS. The Mu Mesons, no wave, industrial, noise, electronics darkest wave Art Brut anti-band, are back. Well, in a way you might find hard to imagine... They first appeared in Sydney's venues during the mid 1980s. As students of naive art, folk art, Art Brut, they noticed a lack of understanding & support for those on the spectrum with musical ability, so the core members created a safe environment for outsider artists to create (explode is more like it). Now, today, considering the state of the world, three of its original band members return to the stage to cast a musical grimoire hoping to fracture this relentless plague of attention farming, if only for one night. Loved by Japanese band "The Boredoms' & hated by music critics worldwide. This return could honestly go either way, casting the spell we all need or death on the stage in all its numerous manifestations.
Difficult times demand furious dancing.
