Yep - this would not be out of place at the CMA awards.

Well, at least they "play" live, no playback...
Can you imagine their band rehearsals?  
Kind Regards, Walter

It's good to see a whole band in uniform again {no ragged jeans etc.} At least when on break and you go into the bar they know you are part of the band and sometimes will buy you a drink.  |

and The Flashy Band Uniforms Caught My Eye. I knew They Had To be Prime Candidates For The Opry or replacements for the Dixie Chunks..
Billy, I think They are on Something Stronger Than Drink. |

If I would "play" like that I too would wear a mask.

| Those Crazy kids in Bug Suits sound a lot like the late GG Allin, minus the stage effects, thankfully. |

| I agree, but GG has a lot better act. Too bad he died, or we could try and get him on the Opry too. |

Actually, they're quite well rehearsed, and the drummer has some serious chops. I checked out a few of their clips on boo-tube. Very interesting, but not my cup of tea for daily comsumption.
I imagine a plague following wherever they go... |

Hey, they're on ANTI records, same as Merle Haggard. Maybe they'll do a tour together.
One of the great things about this forum is I always come away feeling like a youngster. The Locust is a pretty challenging listen, but there's way more headscratching music out there than these guys.
For example, may I submit for your listening pleasure:
The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

or maybe
iwrestledabearonce

Many of you are probably familiar with John Zorn's Naked City album from 1988 which consisted of Zorn (alto sax), Bill Frisell (guitar), Fred Frith (bass) Wayne Horvitz (keyboards), Joey Baron (drums), and Yamatsuka Eye with the most unusal and amazing vocal contributions. This album was a true watershed experience for me. For those of you who haven't heard it; on an initial listening it sounds like random, sampled sounds, much in the style of John Cage's taped sounds experiments. But after repeated listenings the complexity of the performances start to become apparent. I listen to it frequently, and I always hear something new in it. This was a monster project with monster musicians all around.
Anyhow, to me, it sounds like The Locust took a lot from John Zorn's Naked City project. See if you don't agree Here's a link to a 1992 Naked City performance of "Speedfreaks":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkrfVZGmLL8
and "Sack of Feces":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KNx4UMDEPM
and "Shock Corridors" plus "Igneous Ejaculation":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScLvSJezMEQ
and finally, Henry Mancini's "A Shot in the Dark":

I just looked at the The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza and Iwrestledabearonce vids. These guys totally copied Naked City. At best, I'd call their vids a complement to Zorn. 
Keep on pickin'!
