jjmaccrimmonAct 2, Scene 3 – Haunted Cologne
Several weeks ago (before my computer crashed and delayed these), I was invited to The Radioactive Chicken Heads
(RCH’s) music video release party in Hollywood. This was so much fun, all I can say is – wow. I got there well before the shows and staked out a good spot to one side of the stage. I also helped the organizers do a bit of stage dressing (including the large background seen in the pictures). Overall, I was hugely impressed.
After Fallopian completed their set, the next band was absolutely unique. Haunted Cologne was a Rock-a-Billy Polka band. Yes, you read that right. You can indeed rock out playing a tuba, drums and accordion. After standing stunned for a sec at the start of this set, the sound became infectious. Then it got even better. After a few songs, the surprise guest mentioned in the announcements hit the stage – Count Smokula joined them on stage – and the crowd went wild. Did you know, you can mosh to polka?
The audience wasn’t sure what to expect
Judging from the smiles though, they liked it!
Count Smokula then joined the fray
Yes, one of the ‘audience’ got carried away and joined them on stage
Priceless
The main act - Radioactive Chicken Heads next
