hink Rob Zombie remakes "Them" - Cool Review from No Fold

Very nice review we got last weekend from NoFold (http://nofold.beloblog.com/ see archive)

Saturday Night's Shows
Strawberry Fields(2310 W. Oak, 9pm, cover varies cheap-to-free)
Violent Squid
Mad Scientists

Last weekend a lot of us got together to play a cover show at Hailey's as sort-of end of year/Christmas party. Mad Scientists were tapped to put on a set of early Pink Floyd, and I think that was pretty much the closest you could get to the real thing without the original members, a time machine, and a LOT of drugs.
There's a lot of talent in that band, though they're not exactly on the highest rung of the popularity ladder. Their original material is weird at best, a sort of jazz-metal infused background score to a modernized version of a 1950's movie about a science experiment gone terribly wrong. (Think Rob Zombie remakes "Them"). I think it's impressive in the age of clone radio that a band still plays exactly what they set out to play a few years ago without giving in and playing what's popular.
