They Might Be Giants
St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit, MI
October 23, 1988
Fan Recaps and Comments:
"They Might Be Giants' Detroit memories: Bombing at St. Andrew's, following Skinny Puppy, and buying great records," MLive.com, Feb. 7, 2013:
TMBG returned to play St. Andrew's in 1988 for 250 people - but they played the night after hardcore gore band Skinny Puppy had taken the stage. It wasn't a pretty scene on stage."One of the things (Skinny Puppy) are most famous for is covering the stage in fake blood," Flansburgh said. "It's like Gwar without a system. With Gwar, everything is covered in plastic and they clean things up. They're professional blood makers. Skinny Puppy? They're semi-professional bloodmakers. They made just an unbelievable mess of the stage."
