Okay, so it’s the time of year when everyone lets their hidden fantasy loose, their inner demon out, their freak flag fly, however you want to put it. And the next day we wipe off the eyeliner and fake blood and shaving cream and go back to our lives as usual. But for some people, every day is Halloween, and being what other people might call “freaks” is just a part of who they are. I suspect the dearly departed Les Georges Leningrad are some such people. The band broke up not too long ago, but their spirit lives on… on the internet (spooky). So for your Halloween enjoyment, here is a clip of them playing live in Detroit.
Other additions to the Halloween mixtape:
The Cramps - Human Fly
Thee Headcoatees - Strychnine
The 5678’s - Teenage Witch
Faun Fables - Catch Me
Anything by Diamanda Galas
Happy We’en-ing!
