Satan joins Alzo Boszormenyi and the Acid Achivers live on stage!

One song excerpt from a “legendary” Alzo gig at Galaxy Hut (Arlington, VA) on November 16, 1997. The one where Satan plays guitar with a copper pipe. Costumes, props, improvised rock jam, a horn section…a sample of the chaos of a typical Alzo show. Galaxy Hut was kind of our HQ, as it was the only place that would let us play regularly. We played all over the DC area, even the Black Cat, but only once at each venue. For the record, I’m the bass player in the far right corner, wearing a kachina mask hood. Well, it was supposed to be a kachina mask. Love how Alzo strolls through the door in Kerouac drag.

Watching this recently I noticed the paintings on the wall above the window. The one most clearly in evidence is part of my own collection of thrift store art, a piece I call “Two Indians Sneezing on Each Other.” So this video represents two flashbacks in one, as it also documents the Thrift Store Art show I curated at the bar, mostly featuring paintings from my collection. It took a long time for the “signature scent” of the Galaxy Hut (cigarette smoke and French fry grease) to dissipate from the art.
