BY THE TIME the Plastic Crimewave Vision Celestial Guitarkestra finished loading in at the Empty Bottle on February 27, somewhere between 40 and 50 amps filled the stage and ran in a line almost the entire length of the club's main room. My Fender Deluxe Reverb was set up on the floor in front of the stage. Going into our performance, we had a lot of things working against us. We'd never all been in the same room together -- I'd responded to the same recruitment e-mail most everybody else had -- and many of us had never even met. No one, not even Plastic Crimewave, aka Steve Krakow, our ringleader and conductor, had more than a vague idea what we were going to do once we started playing. In the e-mail, which he'd sent out in January, he'd explained that he wanted us to "send vibrations and ripples into the multiverse for positive change" and "perform a sonic exorcism on the evil that rules this land."
