Bands bigger than life

Postby firefall » Sun Sep 25, 2005 7:29 am

Listening recently to the new cd of Fiscerspooner ''Odyssey'',a trial more serious and mature than their debut,thought of how many other bands from the new wave-punk era had more than the minimum number of four band members.I mean the artists/bands that used the extravaganza style in every term of their appearance(music,dancing,performance art,theatre etc).Or simply created a more complex music work through adding other instruments not so ''rock'' oriented.I can recall
Tubes-the kings of shock rock and lively performance art
Oingo Boingo-Added trombones,trompetes to their already quirky new wave
Human Sexual Response-Just think that they had three vocalists
Frankie goes to Hollywood-the most overproduced 80s music act
Throbbing Gristle -Their first shows included everything but normality and a lot of guests on stage.
Anyone remembers others?

I think it was The Gun Club I saw at Club Lingerie. First song starts with guitarist on stage. Then another walked out then another then another then another.
I didn't know much about them at them so I didn't know if theis was the reular lineup but it was a cool show. They opened for Joe King Carrasco who was a blast.
