Kelley, Hey! FORT THUNDER! Ahh, the memories. Thanks for posting these!! I have this vague memory of seeing this video for the FAV ... did you and Josh initially make this for class? -Rebecca (you tube handle "elephantcimena")

I (my band) played w/Lightning Bolt @ Fort Thunder once. My guitar player thought it would be a good idea to shove a bunch of gumballs up his @rse and release them on stage to surprise the band. He failed, and I didn't hear about the incident until much later. I do have a nice picture of him sleeping next to his own vomit in a back room. They didn't ask us back. true story.

why? why? why was i born before i could enjoy the noise scene???? well i guess i still have lightning bolt and health and fuck buttons and shit... but still

also i'm seeing jim drain and animal collective in the tags, what relevence did they have to the clip?

[highproof]

Jim drain lived in the fort and he's the guy interviewed while eating a bowl of cereal. Jim's got some clips up from performances and other random stuff you might like like to see. Also you should see Fort Thunder Wrestling. Guess you busted me on animal collective. I'll take the animal out and leave the collective. thanks for watching.

[nospmohtracso]

hahaha, no leave animal collective in, it makes me happy to see such nice things in the tags.

Yeah I love Jim Drain, I had no idea that was him, he's moved on to this freaky psychedelic video art now, very cool stuff

[Shibokuhidesato]

@highproof In my experience animal collective is easily associated with Black Dice. They're actually pretty close friends and they've helped each other a lot.

[aaasamaaa]

Whack Attack is obviously the best act here.

by far, " If you haven't paid yet... ya gotta pay! You know where the bathrooms at..... It's in the kitchen!"

[beneaththeroses]

[ZEBU1212]

I MISS YOU!

[samuelmichaud]

[gatesballard]

[dialasystem]

[waxanimalparts]

I wish Black Dice still made music like that.
