Throughout the show, Mathus often altered his singing, souping up the band's current hit "The Suits Are Picking Up the Bill" and simply messing around on the hopping "Bad Businessman." Maxwell, the primary vocalist on several of the songs, preferred to growl or even scream lyrics as often and loud as he could, culminating in an almost violent (and thoroughly entertaining) rendition of "Hell," the band's calypso-styled mega-hit from...
...encore was almost better than the main act, giving the audience both "La Grippe," a bizarre fusion between blues, jazz and funk about the influenza pandemic of 1918 and an extremely extended rendition of "I've Found a New Baby," a 1919 song in which every band member was given a chance to perform a solo.

At times, there are so many diverse elements to a song thatmany of his innovations can only be appreciated ifcarefully heard three or four times. In sharpcontrast, on the very next track, "Build itUp--Tear at Down," cyber distortion combines witha relatively slower beat...
...well-known outside of heavy metal circles, this band from Athens, Georgia is often compared to Kiss, Motorhead and AC/DC--they get their rather original name from the time Ted Nugent dedicated "Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang" at a Tennessee concert to "all that Nashville pussy...
