archeological excavations department annual report.

Here's a blast from the past for you.
Complete video performance of one off collaborative group "The Arcimboldo Project" (featuring Michael Norris, Greg Jenkins, Richard Wilding & my good self), taken sometime mid 2001 at a benefit gig held for 4zzz fm.
It begins.

and continues here, here, here & here.

A couple of quick notes on this performance.

Yes, those are forensic scene of crime suits.
Yes, that's masonic regalia.
Yes, that's me in the back, wearing the Julio Iglesias hat.
Yes, it does rule, doesn't it.
Yes, the ravers were freaked out.
No, you can't really see Richard because he spent most of the gig behind the mixing desk, but Yes, it is him running out & distributing lolipops in the crowd about 1/2-2/3 of the way through.
No, we never got asked back.
My personal favourite memory of this performance was in the lead-up to it. We were discussing what we were going to do.  Greg had been doing performances at the time with an amplified cactus, and I made the suggestion that we should have a big rock n roll finish, with Greg trashing, burning or in someway destroying the cactus. To which Greg replied.."Oh no, I could NEVER do that to Colin".  But I'll be goddamned if he didn't pick up that idea & run with it.....
