I can't decide if it was terrrible or wonderful
I was taken to see an avante-gard industrial band in Austria, who rejoice in the name of Fuckhead.

As the gig started, the lights went down and a strange throbbing, grinding note began. Like perhaps the sound made by a black-and-decker drill grinding into the works of an electric guitar. A lone spotlight came on, shining not on the stage, but into the crowd. It became apparent that the note was coming from the guitar of one of the band, who was playing it while laying on the floor in the middle of the crowd, naked apart from tattoos and a few fragments of gaffer tape.

The noise built up, getting more and more distorted, and then he began to grunt what were presumably words. The heavy distortion, plus his strong accent and staccato delivery, meant that it was a while before I realised that I knew what he was singing:

"Too. Shy. Shy."

"Hush Hush"

"Eye. To. Eye"

Yes, possibly the oddest Kajagoogoo cover that the world has ever seen. I still can't work out if it was inspired post-modern art, or simply art-school wank. I did buy the CD, out of curiosity if nothing else, but I can't say it gets spun up often!

EDIT: here are the chaps in question:

Surprise witness
I was once a juror on a murder trial which hinged on the testimony of a surprise witness named 'Fuckhead'. Someone else, though: it's a popular nickname.
