The Cornelius Group are Robots
Last Monday, the 7th, some friends and I had the opportunity to check out “The Cornelius Group ‘Sensuous Synchronized Show,’” and the name’s pretty much spot-on … it was almost exactly what I was anticipating (which isn’t a bad thing at all), probably even a little better. The closest thing I can think of comparing it to would maybe be what I imagine a Velvet Underground show at Warhol’s Factory might have been like – except Lou Reed’s a malfunctioning robot covering Mr. Bungle covering Drug Me … and that my friend is why I don’t write reviews for Rolling Stone. Pitchfork’s got some good pictures up that are almost as bright and ridiculous as I remember the show being.
Anyway, if you haven’t had a chance to check out the show, and you’re not in Europe, I think you’re officially out of luck for the time being. So, here’s a clip that maybe almost comes close to capturing the overwhelmingness of the whole crazy effing show.
