The night I first saw Stomp, I felt that my world had subtly shifted. How had I survived all those years without experiencing something so powerful? I sat on the edge of my chair for the entire performance.
Today I discovered something that I think could have a Stomp-esque effect on my world: the Blue Man Group.
My brother turned me on to the Blue Man Group. I believe he saw them in a series of Pentium ads, which I’d never seen because I don’t watch television. But the BMG has been around for about 10 years, so I was shocked to have never heard of them.
The Blue Man Group is a sort of music/theater group. The music is percussive, incorporating weird homemade PVC instruments.
The most exciting news for me is that they’ve recorded a CD. My copy is on its way. Buy yours today — see links below.
Their website is worth visiting, but if you’re in a hurry, here are some highlights: music clips from audio (see the links on the right side of the page); funny print ads from a Chicago show; an interview from Amazon.com.
Update: the good folks at memepool point out that Blue Man Group uses Macs — so why are they shilling for Intel? Damn good question. It’s the myth of Pentium.
Patronize these links, man:
