exotic, neurotic and erotic, their shocking stage
spectacle which always ends with a rave set, lives up
to the music. Pushing the limits of rock theater to the
max - their live show is truly an event and a multi-
sensoral experience. What gives the band more
substance and lasting appeal however, is their musical
range. "Everybody fights for what they want in a song,"
says Skinny, MUSHROOMHEAD founder "and
pretty much everyone gets their way - that's our strength.
A song will start out sounding like metal until a cool
piano part comes in or the turntables turn it into a rap
song. We all bring our own tastes to the mix which gives
the music diversity." Alternately, it is in the costumed
chaos of their writhing live performances that the band
members seem most alike and united. "When you step
on stage in front of people, you know they're there for
the release. Its what we are there for as well and we try
to give our fans everything they came for and then
some," adds frontman J Mann. It is these elements of
riskyand often risqué in both their music and
performance that have given MUSHROOMHEAD, a
name, a reputation and a massive, rock solid fanbase
throughout the upper Midwest.
