Any evening that starts with four men in colored briefs and butterfly wings and only gets crazier is bound to be fun, and this show at The Funhouse was no exception. After the crowd got warmed up by the suitably-dramatic Steel Tigers of Death!, local faves Police Teeth and their “band BFFs,” Oakland’s Mount Vicious, traded-slash-shared sets. (Though technically Mount Vicious played first, followed by Police Teeth, at any given time any number of members of both bands were on stage.) These two hours featured crowdsurfing, dry-humping, whipping, stripping, and oh yeah, rock and roll. Technical perfection it possibly was not. A hell of a lot of fun? That it definitely was. I would go see either of these bands individually based just on musical merit, but next time they play together I will not only attend, I will bring all my friends.
