On Friday, October 7, the RESIDENTS will be giving their last ever (according
to Ralph, who has lied before) performance of the Mole Show (Mark of the Mole)
in Washington, DC at the Pynchon Building. This is a part of the New Music
America Festival sponsored by the Washington Performing Arts Society. Ticket
information can be obtained by calling the Society at 202-347-4717. (Add a
"1-" only if appropriate.)
For those not in the know, the RESIDENTS are:
1) four guys from Shreveport, Louisiana
2) four guys from San Francisco
3) God
4) really the Beatles (*)
5) an indeterminate number of really creative avant-garde music
types who never show their faces publicly and have
chosen not to reveal their identities so as not to
be swallowed up in the corporate soup like rock stars
5 1/2) four Eskimo musicians with eyeballs for heads who dress up
in top hat and tails (only for formal occasions)
6) as many of the above as you choose to believe
For those who like flash and sophisticated electronic hardware and the noises
such things produce, the Residents are without peer. For those who like
the weird and unusual, the Residents will provide you with numerous
opportunities to say "Wow, man, far out!" without the need for chemical
assistance. For those who like the Residents, you know what I'm talking
about, which is good because I sure don't. See you there (with any luck)!

(*) The rumor about the Residents actually being the Beatles has a very long
history, stemming from the fact that the Residents formed the year
the Beatles broke up, plus numerous additional Paul-is-dead-esque
clues. Does anyone have the original article (from some Australian
mag) that lists the reasons why Residents = Beatles?
