"A collision between Weird Al Yankovic and Spinal Tap, carried on a wave of musical and satirical proficiency...if you follow Dr. Demento, you may have heard them...Maybe it was simply my proximity to the deadly mind control lasers that makes me say this, but Bow 2 The COG!!" -George Williams, TourDates.com
Lights, chaos, action! More than just virtuosity of musicianship, unforgettable visual effects, or sex symbols of mad science, COG is an industrial-strength powerhouse of three cerebral miscreants who rock their audience into submission. Song after insane song form a repetoire of all originals, completely warping the styles formerly known as (including, but not limited to) hair metal, hip-hop, dancey pop, and even (gasp, choke) a jab at country. Nothing is too sacred to be spared by the COG! Occasionally, a lucky (?) spectator is even chosen from the crowd to be lobotomized onstage. And whatever images may appear on the projection viewscreen behind them, COG only knows. The resulting evil brainchild is part musical showcase, part sketch comedy, part magic act, and all ROCK N ROLL SPECTACLE that "normal" bands could only dream of doing onstage.
Featuring the sadistic vocals of Dr.Milo T. Pinkerton III, the heavily-marinated guitar of Dr. A. Rachnid, and funky-fresh bass playing of Dr. Zaemon Abdul-Siddhartha-Mohammad-Achmell-Tutmos-Abram-Ali-Hermes -Odin-Mahatma-Dahali-Martin-Luther-Hussein-Kali-Rocka-Babu-Haghighi III (more commonly referred to as "Dr. Z"), along with their trusty wisecracking percussive powerhouse Drumbot, the COG have already taken New Orleans by storm at, most notably, the House of Shock, the Howlin Wolf, the Southern Repertory Theater, and the Hard Rock Cafe (to name but a few), and been aired by Dr. Demento on his national radio show. What else do they have up their labcoat sleeves? I would shudder, if I were you...
