Yes...the most recent performance took place in Hammond (Gary-East Chicago), Indiana, June 25 2004.

It is OUR responsibility...let me emphasize it...OURS. Because there are so many ways to interpret its underground and mainstream movements. We can make 'free' really happen and 'pay' really happen.

I AM SO GLAD YOU'VE ASKED ME THIS QUESTION...THANK YOU SOUNDCLICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I expect for one to do what the late Timothy Leary told us to do....tune in, turn on, and well....you get the idea. My inspirations come from the psychedelic underground of 1965-1971 when 'underground' (as even a word) was born. The late Jimi Hendrix, Robert Wyatt (of Soft Machine), Syd Barrett (founder of The Pink Floyd), The Fugs, Love, Traffic (the earlier incarnation), The Beatles, The Yardbirds, The Byrds, The Mothers of Invention, John's Children, The Move, The Idle Race, The Electric Prunes and The 13th Floor Elevators.

and oh yeah...Did I mention "Various primitive yet effective home equipment, a CD burner (for a slight effective punch in the recordings), a Boss DR-5, a Zoom RT-123, an MTV Music Generator 2, Turntables, The multitracking phenomenon the Zoom PS-04 and a secret weapon (you won't guess what it is)".
