Space Farm2600
The Space Farm2600 is the mothership piloted by Krazy Keith Lame,Kosh,and Mark Mayhem.It is a mostly live band due to practice space restrictions(what better way to practice than to play live)and the geographicly seperated distance of it's pilots(Kosh Lives in Schenectady,Ny while Keith is in Cortland and Mark in Mcgraw,NY)that feeds off of the power of those who come to witness our wierdness and revel in our madness and drown in our music.We often don't even have a set list prepared when we play a gig,scrawled out at last moment on a napkin or back of a beer carton,our motto is: "WE DON'T COME PREPARED,WE COME TO ROCK!"
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started off as a four piece named Clutter but one of our members was abducted by emo-aliens. We then evolved into a Japanese power-trio name RANZATSU having confused the world with a nearly unpronouncable name we went off into the wilderness where we discovered the SPACEFARM2600 mothership in desperate need of piloting.It treats us well and we love to drive her.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We LIVE TO PLAY LIVE!!!!We have played from over the border in PA up through CNY and over to the Albany area with hopes on total world domination.
Our most special moment was watching our favorite band Bigbootè from Brooklyn dance and totally rock out to our music at Barnstorm 4
