| Monday Mag Perish Review | Perish, indeed The Perish Spinal Tap, eat your heart out. The Perish�s alien rock show stunk up the stage at the Royal within minutes. During the following hour-and-a-half of monotone alt-rock and the most nonsensical plot imaginable, I kept expecting Christopher Guest to pop out from behind the curtain and let us in on the lark. I�m still struggling to find the connection between nu-grunge, aliens, strippers, Egyptians and a giant piece of dancing cheese (who got the best response of the night, by the way). Luckily, less than 50 people had to endure this musical and theatrical stench; we also got tons of belly laughs and opportunities for heckling from the hilariously low budget stage props, the highlight of which was a sleeping bag�er, alien pod. Perhaps the worst show ever to grace a local stage, it was also the most fun I�ve had in a long time; we can only hope the band and dancers were in on this over-hyped joke. Either way, at a reported cost of more than $20,000, this was one heck of an expensive ego trip. �Jason Schreurs - Fri, 30 May 2003 11:58am | ||

| green with envy... or bile | Isn't it typical that a bunch of brain damaged retards can put on a disaster show at the Royal and not only do BOTH the TC and Monday preview it, but Monday follows it up with a review, the first time that has happened in recent memory. Meanwhile the actual talented musicians in this town go completely unrecognized by the local media who wouldn't know good music if I dropped my record collection on their heads. Way to go Perish; when is the album due out? - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 2:06pm | ||

| moron User Info... | Which makes for better reading - a hillarious depiction of a $20,000 fiasco of quite boggling proportions (fuck, I wish I saw that show) or your standard spew about some local musician doing what the do. Nothing wrong with the latter but you don't bump the Stanley Cup playoffs to show Speakers' Corner. The Perish gig was something rare and in my opinion worthy of extensive documentation. Personally I would have liked to have seen at least a several page article on it plus pictures. Does a video exist perhaps?

| Anonymous | The T-C and Monday regularly crank out tons of inches of bands both local and otherwise. As well, most of the bands are fuckin' lame. Who wants to read about you, aside from your friends and moms. Yeah? Thought so............ - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 8:06pm | ||
| Troutbreath | At least one tape of the show does exist. Some one, who was probably a freind of the Perish, was using a camcorder beside us. In fact it was another highlight of the show. The poor guy was doing all he could to suppress his fits of laughter so they wouldn't be recorded on the cameras microphone! - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 1:21pm | ||
| HArk | What ever happened to this band? Did they disappear amongst the criticism? - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 2:17pm | ||
| Good Question! | BAND??? WHAT Band??????????* * Insert "stifled laughter" here - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 6:30pm | ||
