i saw this tour in windsor ont,and it ended in insanity,bikers planning on stealing a truck to follow the band,and showing us a "bumble bee" tat,great show
I'm from Portland, Maine, and heard Crust from a roomie back in '91 or so. Moved to Austin, TX at the end of '93 and had the great fortune of seeing Crust play Emo's on New Year's eve, mere days after moving here. Thank you, Crust, for being fucking brilliant.
I didn't see anybody kill a chicken but I remember Crust using live nightcrawlers in the act. My greatest regret of 1994 was that I didn't bang a drunk chick who was putting the damn squirmy things on my head. She probably married a doctor and donates heavily to the Republican party these days. Who knows? Anyway, the Sacred Heart EP got stuck in the 1986 Ford Ranger's cassette player and I listened to it for months before finally digging it out.
johh, jerry, richard, i know you dont remember me but we smoked a joint backstage @ libertylunch? on (1st street?) i think it was called. been at least a decade. from the day i heard your music i knew i stumbled upon something obscene and great.
@mexicandonkeyshow also at Emos on Halloween. 98, 98, 99? our car overheated. saw richard at an intersection after the show tried wave him down to help us. he was in his piece of shit pick em up truck. he got so scared when we ran up to him yelling "help us!!' he was the only face we recognized after the show so obviously we tried to wave him down. hahaha.
We never killed a chicken or dressed up like the characters from the wizard of Oz. However Squat Thrust did kill a chicken at the Noise Fest and effectively killed Noise Fest in the process. We had played 2 bands before them, separated by Ed Hall. I'm guessing Squat Trust was the highlight of your life.
Yeah, they used to take mikes and duct tape them into car suspension springs and throw the mic'ed springs into the ground for effect. all sorts of creative instruments were deployed to sonic effect.
Crust was amazing in Austin back in the day. From hacking on ripped up spinet pianos with circular saws, to rigging tape spools across the stage like spiderwebs, to John gnashing with beef tongues, this guys set the standard, along with Tragic Mulatto for plumbing the bounds of American creativity. I am so glad to have lived in Austin from 1985-89, the most fertile and productive post-punk explosion.
First heard this song - must've been what - almost 20 years ago? I really hate to think what life would've been like if I'd never walked into Vinyl Villains Edinburgh that day and missed this playing. Still one of my favorite band to this day.
Were they bikers? We thought they were long-shore-men. Regardless, the song Bumble Bee was about that guy from that night.

I saw Crust back in the day and they killed a chicken on stage, dressed like Dorthy from the wizard of OZ. it was the highlight of my life thus far.

@cybrevid It was all pure brilliance -- there was always an unnerving background buzz at every show, which contributed to the atmosphere.

@cybrevid Hey man 91-95 wasn't bad either. Around 2000 the place got overrun with liberal hipsters, ruining things for unprincipled anarchists.
