Sharkbait

From John Law:

Sharkbait was one of the truly astonishing San Francisco ensembles. Kimba and bandmates Chris Taylor, Mr. Clean, Greg Slugocki and others created a unique, audience participation element for their one of a kind performances. Kind of a metal/noise/glam/industrial hybrid, Sharkbait would drag audience members up onto their stage set and, after outfitting them in welding chaps, gauntlets and full helmets, would hand them a sledge hammer and put them into chain link cages where the virtually frothing at the mouth fans turned performers would frantically smash the crap out of a seemingly endless pile of televisions…Priceless.

Sharkbait played Lollapalooza 92 and they were by far the loudest, burningest, most participatory and fabulously excessive thing at Burning Man 94. (an event I can find no record of ANYWHERE – Kimba, Chris Taylor, Clean?)

Sharkbait burning the shark at Burning Man 1994. Classic Sharkbait feeding frenzy! Features Allan from Mermen, Kimba, CT, Leather Corndog, Greg XXX, Clean, Whitey Ho, ??? and everyone at Burning Man who banged, beat, crushed, screamed, chanted or in some way participated. We were there 94,95 and 96.
