The Residents
#31
I may be up for that. I’ve never seen them. Working Mac Expo one year, I paid to go to a show at Bimbo’s where Primus and The Residents were doing an Interscope records party. I saw ED there - and Todd Rundgren...but my hotel roomie was just in it for Primus and wanted to bail between sets, so we walked from there across town to SOMA. 

Somebody pointed me to this:

Well, that needs to be remedied.

I was deep into them back in my Folsom street daze. We weren't far from their Minna street HQ, and they did these rarities sales. I've got a crazy collection of Residents hard-to-find discs, T-shirt, etc. I don't revisit them very much nowadays, although sometimes I'll toss a CD in the player, especially around Halloween. 

This Rio show is calling me. The last one was far from sold out.

They are better live than on disc, since it's sort of performance art as well as music.

Nice. I know the owner of the Rio now. He comes by the dog park with his pup every once in a while. Nice guy. 

I miss the classic eyeballs too...
