The DBH recording suffered (or perhaps a different word?) from operator malfunction, so their actual set is lost in time. Lather played with a cd a few songs from The Death Sound and Styrofoam Duck graced Bloomington on their "Free Boys" tour. I believe their last tour.



We open the recording with DBH's sound check and bits of dialogue.  It does sound pretty good, and carries quite a lot of the Cinemat ambiance.  Their set was raucous and loud, full of hypnotic rhythm and drum triggers.  A good antithesis to Lather's (performing with previously recorded material containing portions of the recently released Death Sound) intensely awkward shaking-hand (lack of hypnotic rhythm...more hypnagogic rhythm) control over the diminutive (in number and sometimes stature) audience, but in the right group the two artists' performances could easily have the same effect on an audience.
