The Residents live show

Small clip from the opening song by The Residents, yesterday 2013-05-09 at Södra teatern in Stockholm. I enjoyed the show a lot, despite some weird in between talk about King dongs and failed porncareers. Meant to be artistic statements I guess, underlining the cheesyness of the Paul Mccarthy-figure like singer and alter ego Randy. It was funny when he encouraged willing groupies to contact the tour manager outside, given the fact the audience were 95% men with a minimum age of 40 or so. I beleived they would balance the male chauvinism by singing their hit song and James Brown cover It,s a mans mans world in the end - but no, that would probably have been below the dignity line of Randy's. (Swenglish expression?)

I found the music great, the performance tight and the remarkable voice and voice effetcts of Randy is still ringing in my head. Go and see if you get the chance.
