Rob Zombie 11/19/09

Rob Zombie brought his Hellbilly Deluxe II tour to Milwaukee last night.

I missed Captain Clegg & the Night Creatures, but Nekromantix a hot psychobilly act, featured Lux, an incredible female drummer (who can give any man I know a run for his money on the double kick drum game!)
This was one of my all time favorite shows! Featuring the man himself, with John 5 on Guitar (Marilyn Manson), Tommy Clufetos on Drums (Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent), and longtime Zombie bassist Piggy D. , the show was a stellar example of tight experienced performers with a great sound.

Forgive the lame cell phone cam pics, but I was going to enjoy the show, not be a photographer. For those who want a bigger taste of the Zombie flavor, check out Rob's YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/robzombie

And no, we are not related;) We are the same age, and share similar influences, but any resemblance to any Zombies either living or now un-dead is purely coincidental.

Pandora's Paint Can... Opened Again.

I recently received an email from a video producer who had shot some live footage for my band (Morpheus Sister), back in the mid nineties . Turns out he won a cable philo award in 1993, I believe, for Morpheus Sister - Live at Nitro. It was a concert in a spectacular three floor nightclub with a video system and 9 big screen TVs that formed one larger screen, (that we employed to the fullest benefit). Nitro had been a half a dozen other clubs before and would eventually usher out the big era of Milwaukee nightclubs when it became property of Brett Favre, housing his "Steakhouse" and subsequently failing. But i digress, more on all that another time...
The point is that he sent me a link to this ancient video animation test project he had once asked me to cut some music for back in 94' (I was in quite an 'industrial' way, back then). It was a short video piece shot on one of the first Sony DV cams and a Soviet 16mm Krasnogorsk camera. It featured some 3D animation of a whil 'o' whisp type creature in a Pandora's box type story.
What more can I say;) Wow! It just reminds me how much audio-visual technology has progressed in the last 15 years! Enjoy it for what it is. We can never go back to 1994!...not until I build that time machine...I know those plans are around here somewhere...ahhh! Theres that flux dimensional capacitor I was looking for... Here just watch this video while I work on my Time Machine.
