04/??/85 - ?, Germany @ Bar

Another particularly memorable show took place at a bar directly across the road from a cow pasture in a tiny German town. The band arrived at the venue to discover a particularly well-lubricated audience. After two and a half hours of playing virtually everything they knew, including an improvised rap number, the band left the stage. A largish German woman grabbed them, plied them with shots of tequila, and pushed them back onstage. They began playing "Satan is Boring," a newer number. Kim ran out into the audience and continued playing from behind the soundboard. Audience members jumped onstage, grabbed stray guitars and began playing along.

One particularly inebriated participant took Bert's place at the drum kit and began hammering away. Lee and Thurston had had enough, but the German drummer just kept pounding. So the band stopped playing, grabbed him, and wrapped him up in duct tape. "It turned out that the guy was some kind of epileptic or something," says Bert. "He was just freaking out and his eyes were bugging out of his head." Even as the audience member was unwrapped, the other self-appointed band members continued screwing around with the guitars.
