Bad
Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza -
Let the Riot Begin |
|
__________________________________________________________________________ Under an
oppressive soundtrack of grueling metallic hardcore that sounds way too
competent for a gang of violence apes, the Bad Luck 13 collective proceed
to destroy any room you let them in. So why would you let them in
anywhere?
This is performance art without pretension, and without thought, really, just primal instinct and volume let loose in a flurry of bloody punk rock chaos. The highlight, for me, has got to be when the naked Bad Lucker hands his guitar to some over-zealous fan. When the kid grabs it, he punches him in the face for his efforts. That’ll teach him about trying to muscle in on the spotlight. Elsewhere, people light their backs on fire, slit their foreheads open, roll around on tacks, beat each other with chairs, and ransack various houses, turning otherwise peaceful keg parties into orgies of pointless destruction. These cats are obviously taking cues from the pioneering Kamikaze rock of GG Allin, but GG was really just going to extravagant lengths to get his dick sucked and to score free bottles of cheap booze. Bad Luck 13, on the other hand, seem more like the collective id of psychotic toddlers let loose in a broken glass playground- a Lord of the Flies performance as written by Alice Cooper and scored by Al Jourgensen. Future volumes promise, besides, I’m sure, another 10 minutes of belabored flash animation credits, even more extreme footage. I can only assume this means they’ll be killing someone on stage soon, so all you snuff movie creeps, stay tuned. - Sleazegrinder
