they played without their standard array of sexually explicit 'props', caught up in shipment to some museum somewhere, Boston? - which might have been just as well. personally liked the stripped down band, with naked girls strutting attitude - and, the music - much better than their, now, overplayed performance bit.

GARY HUNT - he does the lighting design at SANTOS PARTY HOUSE. and its pretty damn good. this is where the Full Circle comes in. the 'SANTA' installation - reminded me very much of the 'installations' we used to put up for the JOSH HARRIS/PSEUDO parties !! - if you were there - you know it !! in fact, the first person I turned to tell this thought balloon to - was this guy. who not only turns out to DO the SANTOS lighting - but told me he used to go down to PSEUDO, on Houston & Broadway to Break dance !! back in tha day-circa 2000. SPENCER SWEENEY also used to hang at Pseudo bashes, esp QUIET. Jeffrey Deitch was also there, almost every day - the only art dealer who took notice.
