02-23-1985 Guerilla Gardens Rock Theatre -
Played with Husker Du and
Limp Richerds.
" First up on the bill were the THROWN-UPS.
Lots of PSYCHEDELIC FURS guitar riffs,
but too much feed back. Good band, I hope they come up to
LIMP RICHARDS were the shits, I hope they never come up here,
worse than the BLUDGEONED PIGS."
- Ed Banger, Terminally Stupid #4<
"The band dressed in
garbage bags, cut to look like leather trousers. Fotheringham
made up packets, filled them with whipped cream, and they were inserted in the
band's pants. The highlight of the show came when the group shot the whipping
cream out of their pants, 20 to
Band also brought raw oysters to throw at the audience if the reaction was
negative.
The response turned out to be positive, but the band doused the crowd with the
sea creatures anyway"

10-31-1988 Moore Theatre -
Played with That Petrol Emotion
"Ed was to begin the first song, alone on stage,
singing in his low, sex-crazed voice, "The ladies love me."
Although expecting to be joined by the others, he was left alone on stage
singing the line over and again,
looking nervously over his shoulder, while the rest hid and giggled"
"During the Thrown Ups' set, they used That Petrol Emotion's amplifiers.
They were playing at such an extreme
volume that the roadies from That
Petrol Emotion feared the Thrown Ups would blow
the gear.
Midway through the Thrown Ups'
set, That Petrol
Emotion's road crew appeared on-stage to turn the
volume down."

12-23-1990 Off Ramp -
Played with Lubricated Goat (?)
"Ed wanted to dress up like the baby jesus
and the rest of the band was supposed to be the three wise men (irony, eh?).
But Ed procrastinated and drank too much, so all the costumes and props were
really lame.
We wore sheets with stupid paper hats and everyone thought we were KKK members
(oops...).
Ed only managed to glue some cotton balls on a sawhorse to be a sheep.
And since he couldn't stand up, he hung all over the fake sheep and everybody
thought he was humping it."
