I Don’t Think You Guys Understand What Happened at the Showbox Last Night

Posted by – November 22, 2009

But you will after you watch this video. We had no idea what we were getting into. I’d never seen anything quite like it. In fairness, I had a really great time. Would I go again? Probably not. But I totally respect what this band does and I think it’s fantastic performance art. And any band that lets the audience have a pillow fight is a-okay in my book.

For the record, they’re called Super Geek League, if you want to book them for your son’s Bar Mitzvah. I assume they do Bar Mitzvahs. I mean, really, if you want your kid to have the Bar Mitzvah party that everyone will remember best by the end of the schoolyear, I suggest you cancel the ice-scultping albino and his all-Asian dance squad, and tell Ryan Starr she will have to hit her bottom someplace else, because you are hiring the Super Geek League to tie up and pee on and cream on audience members all night long. There’s crowd-surfing, too. Enjoy!

    there is only one showbox. my favorite memory of the showbox is when 300 people were jumping in unison to the hives’ses-ses “hate to say i told you so” and the wooden floor bending and feeling like it was give out and collapse. maybe my favorite memory there though is singing along with my morning jackets’ hit song 3 years ago as i was standing in the back.

    OMG Sasha, these are the guys who lived next door to me when I lived in the loft at the Alcyone! They rocked out ALL NIGHT LONG (weekdays and weekends) and totally drove me crazy. They’re one of the major reasons that we moved.

      Are you serious??? ZOMG. That would have driven me crazy. They were cool for 20 minutes or so, but I would have gone insane living next door to that all day long. What a small world!

    I fucking loved that concert I was one of the dudes that was pied in the face! That was the 3rd time I went to SGL and so not the last, I forgot how much I missed them. Oh and trish why you whinning about SGL living next to you, if I was you I would have partied with them everyday!!!

    Yeah their show was off the hook. I was probably just in front of whoever captured this video. I had watched videos of these guys before seeing them in person, but they don’t do a bit of justice to seeing it in person. It’s Craziness…

    I was at the front most of the time and dodged the water, pee, fish and crackers, whipped cream pies successfully. That pillow fight towards the end was the most wildly entertaining thing I’ve ever done at a show. With confetti flying around everywhere, pillows flying people screaming and laughing and slipping all over the place it was just insane. Everyone had a smile on their face for sure. I couldn’t stop laughing, it was an absolute blast for sure.

  5. I see you have witnessed the works of the wicked Super geek league…. let me tell you the Leagon of the Underworld will not stand for such a party hardy good time!! If you enjoy your mind warping exsperance then feel free to endure more of this SGL (and trust me the next time they are unleashed I will be there to fight there power!!!)
