A
decade or so ago I was into an American horror-rap band from Detroit Insane
Clown Posse (a.k.a. ICP). They have a thing about Halloween and usually arrange
special annual events in their home city. I have never been to one, but once upon
a time I (accidentally) found myself in their show in Orlando, Florida, and it’s
an experience I will hardly ever forget. Picture yourself in a mid-sized venue
packed with face-painted fans, with hardcore horror rap lyrics blasting super-loud from
a massive set of loudspeakers for two hours plus, with gallons upon gallons of ICP
trademark cheap pop sprayed at the audience from special cannons and 2-liters
of the same product flying at you from the stage…
Check
out a fan-made video of one of their Halloween numbers. Mind, you, it contains explicit lyrics. Comics-related service will resume soon :)
P.S. - Come to think of it, the post is not entirely unrelated to comics: ICP are marketing geniuses, and in 2000 – 2001 they serialised one of their albums The Pendulum as twelve CD singles, each polybagged with a 32-page comic featuring the band.
