Holy shit... I still feel those jitters of excitement when i hear Crash
Worship mentioned. I've seen them a number of times through the years... The
most memorable ones were maybe 3 years ago the ladies only show at the
Cocodrie in San Francisco. This kind of stuff only happens in a teenage
boy's wet dream... a hundred or so topless and naked women all covered in
chocolate, brown sugar and other gooyey, sticky stuff, licking each other
and getting red wine poured down their throats by various Crash Worship
members. I think there were two women mudwrestling in a kiddie pool passed
around by the crowd, and throwing baked beans all over the place. This stuff
really happened, I swear =)
Second most memorable, some pagan ritualistic feast event right before
Thanksgiving in a wherehouse in Oakland where Amber Asylum came out on
stretchers with the Crash Worship procession behind them along with tons and
tons of roasted pigs, grapes and red wine. Fire, fireworks, people
scrambling around, some guy's head on fire, total insanity... the smoke. I
was so lost in all the smoke, I couldn't see one foot in front of my face...
as the smoke disappeared I found myself faced with a huge bull's head coming
right at me...
Anyway, everytime I go, I think why did I come here, I am too old for this.
Yet I can never stay away. I can't say I am much of a fan of the music,
ironically enough, past the tribal drumming, its all cheesy industrial shit.
