These explosions of sound and light took place in Denver, Colorado during one of the most challenging periods of modern history. A worldwide pandemic spread tragedy, illness, death, distrust, worry, doubt and economic disaster while domestic social unrest erupted in the streets as Americans reckoned with the deep racial inequalities that have long infected our country. As citizens grappled with an immense loss of life and livelihood, a brazen attempt by populist criminals to cling to power and pour gasoline on an already roaring fire raged in our nation’s capital.
It was against this backdrop of isolation and suspended reality that we heeded the call for a radical evolution in shared catharsis and new sonic experiments: Short-band radio broadcast turned each car interior into a private listening experience for a post-apocalyptic simulation, while roving bands of mysterious beings opened a temporary escape portal with contactless chaos, engulfing each and every vehicle in rite and ritual for the ages.
SYPHERLOT : AUG 2020
Set in an expansive parking lot at Denver’s Mission Ballroom, SYPHERLOT exploded to life during a time when any/all live music had been sequestered to digital platforms. Itchy-O blew collective minds and blanketed attendees in a cloak of fire, noise, and rhythm, eviscerating old (and new) ideas of entertainment, rewriting the book on what could be achieved at a socially distanced drive-in performance.
HALLOWMASS : OCT 2020
This series of spectacle and offertory shook the now-demolished New Tech Machinery building to its foundation during this most hallowed time of year. As the group’s tradition entered its seventh year, artifacts, momentos, and representations were collected on trays from attendee vehicles and later burned in an after-ceremony to honor impermanence and the loss felt so heavily in 2020.

Those 10 gallon Alchemist hats are so dope.

[@mikegrimsley9017]

They have new hats now, I think they're even cooler looking.

[@ericdahlstrom1021]

I just stumbled on this, right up my alley,f in awesome

[@chadfelts739]

These shows remind me of some of the crash worship shows in 90s.good stuff.

[@alanhencey1086]

both times i saw them i swear they covered a crash worship song. and last show someone yelled that. they don't try to burn the venue down, but they very much are pushing peoples boundaries and psychedelic as fuck in that way.

[@adamrise1541]

Trippy stuff. Sent here by Alternative Tentacles. Fucking 93s!!!

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

Wow … very cool. ✊🏻

[@charles_wipman]

Really pimp performance and music! = una actuación y música muy chulas!.

[@maxwarfield6699]

Autopsy Of A Drowned Shrimp meets The Residents - Sweet!

[@dalerbob]

Spectacular!

[@20x20Ghost]

My Rabi loves this

[@austinblack7741]

Got some strong mad max vibes video-wise

[@mikegrimsley9017]

Everybody had to stay in their cars for these shows because of COVID but they came out awesome!

[@MisterMoto138]

I dig it, never heard this before. Pretty bad ass.

[@jasonchristian8362]

GREATNESS. ABSOLUTE GREATNESS!

[@MIC-HEXED]

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE "WORM UNION"..........................................

[@infowarriorone]

Nice. Very zeitgeist.

[@jwk818]

so awesome 🔮👻☠️

[@5-leafblaze]

This reminds me of the Les Claypool - Buckethead standoff meets Survival Research Laboratories and Stomp. Add a gang fight between Cirque Du Soleil and an anarchistic night school and Satatorium. I was hoping a Wagneresque ominous horn section would show up to face off with spiderist funkyjumpers. Reminded me of a community tribal "industrial" performance art group I was in in the 90's. NEATO man

[@flash_flood_area]

That's funny, I was thinking... If The Residents, Oingo Boingo, Flam Chen, some Koto drummers and a few random mariachis had a baby... But yours is good too

[@flash_flood_area]

"a community tribal 'industrial' performance art group" You don't mean Crash Worship do you?

[@5-leafblaze]

@@flash_flood_area Did shows with them, Campfest and Cameo Theater South TX. Now they were cool. Shoulder-harnessed battery pack vocal gadgets, drums and fire. Are there any of them in Itchy-O?

[@flash_flood_area]

@@5-leafblaze I don't know, you're guess is as good as mine. It's been a long, long time since I knew any of them

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

This is the passive-aggressive comment of an old man's sour grapes. "We did stuff first! Get off my lawn!" 😂🤣 K boomer 😂😂🤣

[@CAgrandaddypurps69]

This reminds me of the music from crash bandacoot lol

[@twofoots5955]

Haha!

[@lukemurray1104]

I could use more cowbell. Geez this should be a touring gig.

[@chadfelts739]

It's a Denver secret. I agree.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

Love it!

[@acidpunk69]

Good 👍🏼

[@js4325]

Crash Worship for sure

[@asylumkid100]

Wouldn't be half as good without the visuals.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

And? Your point is? 🙄

[@TehSuperbeast]

@@PhoenixProdLLC They very clearly stated what their point was.

[@AriOrSomething]

This gives me strong Blue Devils vibes

[@sduncanfoto]

it escapes me

[@flipperpete]

It's something you have to experience live. Video doesn't recreate the sense of touch or olfaction that are present at their shows.

[@manasseh36]

I'm on acid right now. Watching this. Just sayin

[@markgnarz5399]

Feels like an overproduced Hollywoodize version of SharkBait.

[@randomspurious1066]

Lots of style, no substance. The era we live and love in, I guess.

[@kafakafaa3950]

we canceled the last 500 years and went straight back to medieval for the rest of our lifes

[@jasonchristian8362]

LISTEN HARDER. plenty of sybstance here. lots and lots of planning. Negative, to all of this? well, let's see your band, LOL. pfft.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

Awww, Fasci gonna cry?, 🤣

[@anthonychihuahua]

"Remember a time when music had lots of style and substance?" "randomspurilous remembers" 👴💭🍪🎶
