English Kills Art Gallery, Brooklyn, NY

November 12, 2011

The 3-hour performance began with the performers guiding pieces of hay between their lips. The movement then dispersed and Sarah H. Paulson laid on the floor as Gavin Kenyon chopped off her hair. Holly Faurot sat beside them, holding a video monitor which displayed Ruth Lauer-Manenti brushing Faurot’s hair in a grooming ritual.

Further back in the space, Stephanie Waddell and Daniel Jacobs mimicked the movements of Lauer-Manenti displayed on different video monitors. Meanwhile, an acupuncture treatment with Angela Vitacolonna and Arabella Kauffmann, conducted by Laura Barnard Stelmok, took place in an adjacent room.

The performance concluded with an act of endurance during which Paulson repeatedly lifted and released Faurot’s body. When all physical strength was lost, Stelmok re-entered the room and drove a stake through Paulson and then through Faurot into the concrete floor.

The first 2-hours of music was composed by ABEARICA. The final hour of music was performed live by Anthony Austin and Lucas Van Lenten.

You’d have to write a book to fit even the most basic biography, but, in short, this is some crazy psycho/surf/blue/punk/rockabilly. Probably the most fun band I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. It started sometime in the early 00′s, an idea from the twisted imagination of Whoopin’ Cough Jonny and Sam Famolaro that turned into a thunderous rock and roll explosion.

This particular recording was made live at none other than the original
Sun Studios in Memphis Tennessee. Those in the ‘know’ have heard what a trip that was (let’s just say that one of us ended up in jail and we all got to meet the legendary Johnny Cash). Recorded by James Lott, mastered at Acqrok Studio, with awesome artwork from the amazing Stacey Martin.

Track List:
1. Dead End Cruise
2. Red Leather Jacket
3. The Jungle
4. The Creeper
5. Knucklehead
