| Pico | I'm so there!!! I love the Alien Rock Gendre(sic) - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 9:06am | ||
| Matt D. | There was also mention of the majority of their gear arriving two hours late. Maybe the garbage bags et all WEREN'T s'posed to be part of the set! (Although they know they had something going there with the dancing cheese thing, aparently). Maybe the aliens were trying to shut down the show by stalling their gear, lest the truth get out!!! (Insert forboding music here)... - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 9:46am | ||
| Anonymous | Are they still going to charge $40? - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 9:49am | ||
| Cancer Man | The Perish were getting too close to the truth - we had to make the public believe it was a joke. And the real gear? It was just as pathetic too, but better safe than sorry... - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 10:15am | ||
| Anonymous | these fucking half wits just don't get it. He's a shitty guitar player who wears a suit around town that stinks so bad of B.O. that it's hard to get within 5 feet of him. She's a crappy peeler who is so skinny she looks like she spends all her money on crack insted of music lessons. Come on you ridiculous residents of dogpatch....you stink, your show stinks, you are unlikeable as people, you can't play guitar or bass......and while I'm at it, what the fuck are you doing putting 100 garbage bags, a shopping cart, 200 lbs. of cardboard, etc, on your truck before the drum kit. You know.....the drum kit, oh....you don't have a drummer, that would make the 100th lie you told, this tiime to the Times Colonist, that the drums didn't make it out of sooke, you're liers, there are no drums, there is no drummer. You're compulsive liers, halfwits, and hillbillies. As I said before......Fuck Off. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 11:07am | ||

| Anonymous | are you the same person who cant take people who cant spell seriously too? I bet if I smelled bad and couldnt spell at all but had a 12 gauge in your mouth, you would take that seriously. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 11:29am | ||

| Morgan | From the Times Colonist, Friday, June 6 Rock Musical Tries Revival They're back. Or at least, they hope to be. The widely anticipated rock musical, The Perish, played to a meagre audience of 137 at the 1400 seat Royal Theatre on May 24. Created by Sooke guitarist Jeff Noyes and bassist/exotic dancer Christine Battiston, the production about alien intervention boasted a man dressed as a giant block of cheddar cheese and another performer costumed as Osama Bin Laden. Battiston says the performance was plagued by problems. The most serios was when a moving truck containing their gear arrived at the Royal two hours late. This created a domino effect - the end result being that "three quarters of the show" was left out. "The drum set didn't even make it from Sooke" Battiston said. However, the couple say they plan to restage The Perish at the Royal in July. If they can raise the money, that is. They will shop a promotional package to potential investors in Vancouver this weekend. Battiston and Noyes are also assembling a rock video, and will release a trio of songs from the show to Victoria radio stations. The Perish II will be rejigged somewhat. Battiston said cheddar cheese character - a crowd favorite - will be retained, possibly with an expanded role. "Everyone seems to want more cheese", she said. Oh my goodness. They just won't stop embarassing themselves, will they? - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 3:33pm | ||
| Anonymous | It's all our fault 'cause "Everyone seems to want more cheese" - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 3:45pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | 137 seats? I thought they only had about 30 show up? LOL I guess even the TC needs to post a good farce so often to add comedic levity to their rag. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 3:53pm | ||
| Anonymous | The Perish came back the very next day Oh The perish came back we thought they were a gonner The perish came back they would not stay away...... - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 3:55pm | ||
| Anonymous | I thought that 3/4 of the show being left out was an improvement!? - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 4:15pm | ||
| uhh.. | i'm still having a hard time believing this. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 4:16pm | ||
| ticklefish | Laprider had it right: if these guys would only live a little more tongue-in-cheek, and play somewhere like Lucky, charge $10, they would probably attract a decent crowd, and it would even be fun. It could be totally campy, and be like a real life Rocky Horror, but the egos of these guys trying to pretend they are good enough for the Royal at $40/head.... maybe they really were visited by aliens and were told they had to do this or they would be recaptured? - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 4:20pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Don't you see their trick?!?!?!? They put on a show with mad publicity, and suck at unprecedented levels... Then everybody goes out and talks about the monstrosity that was The Perish.... We all have a good laugh, joke that "man, I would have gone if I knew it was going to suck that much!" Then The Perish come back with wave two, promise a BIGGER AND BETTER Perish!!!! Everyone on here has heard the reviews of the first one, so we're like "this'll be a gas!! I have to go and see first hand just what a crime against humanity The Perish really is"..... They fill the seats with us suckers, then put on the _real_ show, with the intent that we'll actually enjoy it and realize their genius.... What they haven't figured out is that their "real" show sucks, too, but not like the first did, so, no only does the show suck, it's also ust not entertaining...... Or at least that's what the aliens told _me_ of the plan... - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 4:33pm | ||
| Jedi | They must be doing something right to get $40 a ticket. Too many bands willing to set-up in 10 minutes and play for beer money. I want to join the perish and drink at home on my own time. And they dont play the same grindpunkmetal vic style either. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 6:00pm | ||
| Anonymous | You'd fit right in Jedi! - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 6:15pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | "They must be doing something right to get $40 a ticket" LOL and how many bought tickets last show? They had to pass them out on the street to even get people to come. Probably a handful of people actually paid for tickets. That didn't even pay for the Royal Theater rental cost. The only thing they got out of it was a couple pre-show reviews and a majorly scathing post show review. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 6:47pm | ||
| HHHMMMMMM? | QUESTION: If their gear was delayed 2 hours, what were they doing hangin around in front of the theatre handing out tickets before the show? Seems to me they would all be working their butts off setting up and scrambling to get the remnants of the show together since most of the set and equipment didn't show up! THEY ARE SO-O-O-O-O FULL OF BULL SHIT! Don't be stupid people... they're sucking you all in again! - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 7:22pm | ||
| Anonymous | I am going, genius or not. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 7:28pm | ||
| Some Guy | Sometimes thigs suck so much that they're good. Anyone catch Chi-Sun "The Asian Persuasion"? - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 7:28pm | ||
| Anonymous | If it's true they filled 137 seats? That's $5480.00 1500 for rentals, a few bucks here and there. They still made over $3,000.00 gross. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 7:38pm | ||
| nope | no, that's how many people were in there, not how many paid. apparently they sold something like 31 tickets and gave the rest out on the street. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 7:47pm | ||
| Anonymous | I believe it costs 4000 to rent the Royal. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 8:09pm | ||
| bill from remulac | I for one hope they do it again... and again and again just to see if the TC will continue to be duped by these retards. The folks at the Royal must be shitting themselves. Can't say that I would go, though, not even for free. Life's too short. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 8:44pm | ||
| nads | How has the T-C been duped? The articles they wrote made Perish look like retards... on the other hand, maybe you thought otherwise. Hmmm, Bill.... who's the retard, I'm wondering? - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 9:20pm | ||
| Live & Learn | Personally, I think the Perish read all the LiveVic postings that have been mounting up since their "show". They just don't get it! They read the comments about people wishing they had been there - AND - with their naive tunnel vision, the Perish Gang think that putting on another show would be a way of recouping some of their losses (but, they will probably just be adding to them). They are legends in their own minds alone - and the laughing stock of Victoria - and Sooke! I don't think they could really turn around the fiasco in two weeks, do you? If I was the manager of the Royal, I would say NO to them! Afterall, would you want all those fancy seats covered in squishy tomatoes and rotten eggs? - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 9:39pm | ||
| Anonymous | The New Perish: comming soon.... - Sat, 7 Jun 2003 3:16pm | ||
| Anonymous | So - is this considered their "Comeback Tour" ... or their "Reunion Tour"? Will they be playing all their "big hits"? GEEZ, I hope the "Cheese" has a solo! - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 12:06am | ||
| Anonymous | Hi, Jeff and Christine here.....we would like to invite you to BC Place next Saturday, where we are putting on our new Perish show. We have engaged 22 Frontal Lobotomy patients to pull their pants down and masturbate while we are playing. They will then expose their brown ass holes to video cameras, which will zoom in for a close up, and will then be broadcast on a big screen above Jeff and my heads while we are playing. As if that wasn't enough, we have engaged the members of Trooper to dance in gogo cages to the sides of the stage. All this is yours for $86.50 per ticket, cash in advance. You send it to us, and we'll reserve you a ticket. All tickets will be picked up at BC Place. Don't worry if BC Place looks like it's closed when you get there, just keep walking around it, in circles, until we tell you to stop. - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 12:07am | ||
| Gleamer User Info... | Money that could in theory send up to a hundred african children to school and provide food and medicine is fueling a bizare and inexplicable return of a band that nobody likes (for the right reason anyway) and everybody should be able to do without. - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 3:37am | ||
| Sweetgrass | Why are we still talking about this monstrosity? SHHHHHHHHHHH! Maybe they'll just go away! - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 3:41am | ||
| Colin User Info... | Ok i dont really understand this. I was at the show, there were only 30 people in attendance. Also They said they were going to incorporate more of the cheese into the musical because the audience loved it so much. This is comming from the same people who called my work, LM music, to complain about my heckling because I kept yelling "CHESSE-CHEESE-CHEESE......" . So whats there beef ? Jeff please e-mail me to explain - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 3:58am | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Ah, the simplest heckles are the most effective.... - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 5:25am | ||
| Anonymous | Id go see them in a anormal venue for $5 , which is what every other Vidtoria band charges at first. Anyways, I got to see Candy years ago for $5, and they had pigs heads, blood, a dominatrix singer with two hot pussy licking slaves, crawling in the blood no less, and their drummer gets strung up on a steel cross and has his penis pierced multiply. If I can see thsi kind of show for $5, then why would I wanna pay $40 for some band that obviously sucks. note to PERISH: LOWER TICKET PRICES. Nobody pays $40 for something with a crap rep, that have never played live, except one blow out. - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 10:25am | ||
| Anonymous | Maybe we should send this thread to them, via their website, so that they get the message. We don't care and don't want to see them! (Although the comic value of this whole disaster has the whole town snickering!) - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 12:42pm | ||
| Anonymous | you fags are totally obsessed with this band. Unreal. - Sun, 8 Jun 2003 3:42pm | ||
| Mr Clean | I havent seen Jeff Noyes since he begged me to piss in his mouth after I refused to shit on his saran wrapped face. - Mon, 9 Jun 2003 2:02am | ||
