“I want chicken
I want liver
Meow Mix Meow Mix
Please Deliver”
Just when I thought I was done writing blog entries about concerts and shows that I have recently attended, I became eyewitness to the weirdest thing I have seen on stage.
I know that there are some bands out there that have done stranger things, but this was something I personally saw.
September Mourning was the touring headliner. But local band, Resisting Vegas, was the winner of the night.
Costumes and props are the standard, but this will take it to the next level.
Rico Kallirgos of Resisting Vegas
Resisting Vegas was in the middle of a lengthy guitar solo, and lead singer Rico Kallirgos stepped off stage briefly and when he emerged again, he was struggling to lift a very large bag of what looked like to be pet food of some sort.
It was dry cat food.
He knelt down and began to tear into the bag to open it. When he got it open, his fist plunged down deep inside of the bag. The audience was intrigued and some where terrified as they did not know what was going to happen next.
Fistfuls of cat food were then placed into a plastic container.
Then he stood up with the container in hand and he reached for a large wooden spoon, and proceeded to eat it until the end of the guitar solo.
He ate so much of it that when it was that final moment to say thank you to crowd, he still had cat food in his mouth.
One band stole the entire show.
After it was over, many people said that they were scared that he was going to throw the cat food. But none of them had expected him to actually eat it.
He admitted that he never told the rest of the band of what he was going to do. Some of them not really knowing what was going on when it was happening.
“Keep Austin Weird” they say.
Well done, Resisting Vegas. Mission accomplished in keeping that city tradition proud. The bar has been raised.
To the other local bands out there: It’s your move!
