Considering it's been almost ten years since they put out a good record, hopefully your toys will help right the ship!

Fuck. You're right. 1995 was almost twenty years ago.

They better jump on this brand new "circuit bending" thing so they can stay relevant cause you know Reed Ghazala just figured this stuff out like last month...

Now Hear this was my intro to them, actually, it was the only album they had out when I heard them for the first time. Oh My Gawd came out right before I saw them for the first time. They were much more a psychedelic punk band back then, more along the lines of The Butthole Surfers, lots of the quiet quiet loud loud with some freakout stuff. I loved Jesus Shooting Heroin, She is Death, etc. Soon after Telepathic history, I stopped listening to them.
They signed this after the show. It's about 4 feet tall, bigger than normal poster size.

I remember Wayne was awesome and super friendly, Mike was quiet, didn't say much but wasn't being a dick, just introverted I think. No Kim Gordon wasn't there, Mike signed that.
Good luck with the instruments! Sounds like stuff right up Wayne's alley nowadays, especially if you could find some Japanese speaking toy to bend.

What was I thinking coming to ILF to post this. Bring on more sarcastic and negative comments. People on here are so jaded. Thanks sonidero and 2ndr8 for the positive vibes. I'm excited. I just started bending and this is already happening. Mack follows me on instagram and was interested in my toys and keyboards, nothing wrong with that right?

Dude, anytime us reg'lar folks get noticed by the artists we love, it's an awesome thing. Definitely let us know how they go over with the Lips. Also, post pics of the toys in question - I'd love to see examples of your work!
