The first time I saw Crash Worship was around 1993. I was walking down 16th street in San Francisco, near Potrero, at night time. I saw a bunch of people going into a wearhouse , and I had a feeling that I should follow them. I stepped right into the start of an awesome Crash Worship show that was so much better for being unexpected and surreal. Of course I ended up sweaty and half clothed, covered in water, flour, food, and soot. Then I walked home. My mind was transformed.

These are the furry guys I saw at Mardi Gras, sometime back in the mid 90s. We were out side of Cafe Brazil by The Praline Connection. I was tripping balls and just wondered up on this big fire in the street. The drums were awesome to say the least. Never crossed my mind the the fire department wouldn't approve. Nor did the NOPD. They shows up in riot gear and started drumming the drummers with billy clubs. Holy shit, I never who in the fuck those dudes were.

Yeah... They kind of charred the building when I saw them. Fire marshall definitely didn't approve and that venue was never to open again. :(

And the sky opened, and I saw the flaming wheel spinning. And I eat the god, I am the god... All hail Dionysus the ashes in our blood.

IIRC this show was the year before the FQ/NOPD year. At the time this show happened, I was working at 'TUL and had been going to shows about twice a week foe a year, but I was totally unprepared for this. It really was like walking into another planet.

@ggzo3 you're lucky - not everyone even got into that show!

This is the show that they got kicked out of the bar and went into the streets. I was in the french quarter when this madness marched right pass me, and a woman covered in paint reached out her arm and pulled me into the madness. I followed grabbing a stick from the ground to band on garbage cans and street poles until the cops stopped everyone and took the instruments Crash Worship had... We were all so crazy over that, that we grabbed garbage cans and continued on our own until the sun came up

They put on great crazy shows but the fire department or the club always shut them down. It's like a voodoo ritual/food fight. The music is horrible though, I mean absolutely talentless and repetitive. I saw my friends 10 year old son's drum squad and those kids were much better musicians lol
