The Church of the Sub Genius
W/ Reverend Ivan Stang
2/15 -- Wetlands
Aliens, Cultists. The end of the world. The breakdown of civilization. Mind
control. The utter stupidity of modern humankind. The insanity of Politics.
The War between normals and weirdoes, between the sex-negatives and
the sex-positives. These are the recurring themes of The Church of the
SubGenius.
The Church of the SubGenius ( also referred to as the Church of "Bob") is a
weird, dangerous cult led by Reverend Ivan Stang who has penned The
Book of the SubGenius and Revelation X (Simon & Schuster). Just like the
Branch Davidians, Jim Jones' People Temple, the AUM Supreme Temple in
Japan or the Southern Baptists. The only difference is, it's EVEN FUNNIER
than they are.
Attending a SubGenius live show, or "Devival" can be a disturbing
experience, because it's more like a habit-forming drug than a rock and
roll show. It's like a tent show revival in hell. The preachers act more like
wrestlers and encourage sinning while ranting to a rock music soundtrack.
The crazed tirades are punctuated by violent side shows routines and a
constant psychedelic video backdrop. Rev. Stang and the other SubGeniius
Apostles deliver action-packed healings, sickenings, sacrifices, Public
Confessionals, Short Duration Mass Marriages, Time Control Ceremonies (in
which the preacher smashes the wristwatches of volunteers from the
audience) and more.
Bring the kids, because this will be and evening of pure, unadulterated,
family entertainment that'll have Giuliani scrambling to replace Disney's
times Square cleanup with a healthy serving of SubGenius SLACK
