Comedy Festival:
Tonight I went to see
Cyderdelic.
They're a UK comedy outfit whose act is being a mad anarchist outfit/sound
system, probably inspired by Chumbawamba, the KLF and the anti-capitalist
movement. They played some ravey musical numbers (which were mostly
prerecorded; or at least, the Roland S-50 on stage wasn't plugged in),
slapped each other around, ranted hyperbolically (at one stage arguing heatedly
over whether an animal-research lab experimented on badgers or budgies) and
showed videos of their antics at various demonstrations.
The show finished with them leading the audience out into Swanston St.,
megaphone in hand, and proceeding to blockade taxis whilst chanting
"we all live in a fascist regime". Classic.
