Arcadia! Not the region in southern greece, nor a poetic idyllism meaning “Utopia”…….but a SPECTACULAR!
As close to utopia as you could get at the Electric Picnic, if your idea of utopia is a massive Geigeresque spaceship-lookin’ yoke that ejaculates plumes of fire 20 foot into the air every few seconds! As far as Skuzzi port are concerned it was utopian to be elevated 2 meteres off the ground surrounded by a 360 degree Funktion 1 soundsystem on a futuristic metalic construction bathed in luminescant neon light, while hordes of people mingled around the branches of the copper pipe trees which also breathed and belched orange and gold fireballs.
This incarnation, the brainchild of a bunch of modern day British ironsmiths with access to a military scrapyard, travels from festival to festival around the anglo island and once a year stretches its mettalic claws into our fair ol’ Eire for the feast of electricity!
From this beast Skuzzi performed what has to be our most impassioned and extroverted concert since the fission of the ancient atoms! As the dusk set upon the site Skuzzi mounted the heart of the dragon and calibrated the frequencys of our instruments to be in sync with the firey excretions of the Arcadia rig to form a symbiotic fire breathing, musically thumping art cyborg of pleasure!
The crowd rejoiced as the sonic shockwaves washed over them. Syncopated rhythms topped with a sheen of fire and strobe vibrated the arena drenching them with spectacle as the monster truly roared! For Skuzzi it was an honour to grip the scaly mettalic teeth of the Arcadia stage at the Electric Picnic and an honour to play to all the music lovers out there who appreciate a bit of theatrics!
It is for you the beast surges forward………..
Much Skuzzi Love
