Without art, death or madness wins the body and brain.
This knows it. And which of them is worse?
Not death... It is the brain. Therefore, think death
and die. Feel the thoughts control your thinking
next. This, the betrayal of the self in its
existence, manifests arrogance over intuitive
expression. There is no room for arrogance in
expression because they are both legally only nine
letters long and that's not write. Intuitive art
is thus the next ink pen that can right itself:
the
next
existence
in
art
is
intuitive
expression
before
an
arrogant
death
no warm brain should betray this
otherwise
ink pen lobotomy

now booking dates for the ONE-MAN-BAND BASEMENT TOUR '06 click on upcoming shows above for info or go visit WWW>THEELECTRICCATFISH.COM .............................................................>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>....... bio: shape shifter/performer/percussionist, co-founder and now sound engineer and art director with Chicago based Oucho Sparks, Catfish took some of his toys down to the Battle of the One Man Bands in Oct. 2002. Forced to name his exclusive supergroup on the spot at its first show ever, he named it simply, the Electric Catfish. After some serious contenders did their thing, the Electric Catfish strolled away with the first place trophy, stuffed bear, t-shirt, and dinner ticket. He swapped the dinner ticket for admission to the "real" one-man-bands featured later that evening. With bright eyes and a smirking soul he reveled in the new-to-him art form. Eager and energized from the performances he'd witnessed he went on to become the Electric Catfish. With every performance building upon the last, rich with improvised music, comedy, theatrics, and audience participation, his alter ego is sure to self destruct. The tools you may see him use in any given performance include: leafblowers, grinder wheels, fog machines, epi lady shavers, balloons, circular saws, theremins, samplers, pyro, and oodles more stuff to come. also a co-founder of Cafe Ballistico (www.cafeballistico.com)
