'TASTE THE WASTE'
6/21/03 - Season Tickets
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of seeing Taste the Waste in their
inaugural gig! This is a band to watch out for. The show was the first truly psychedelic experience I have ever had. Unfortunately there were some sound problems for the first few songs. Most of this was due to the arena football championship game on the pull down screen in front of the band. At first I thought it was some sort of gimmick, but when the game ended the screen went up and all bets were off!!!! This band cranks!!!
The first set highlight was definitely And I moved. Paul dropped his
guitar, strapped on the head site mic and turned this song into a sexual masterpiece. I never really thought the song was romantic, but Paul's smooth vocals and hot oil show made this version down right erotic. The rest of the set was amazing the band blazed through so many great songs. The audience was dancing and singing along like it was the last night on earth.
2nd set.... Nothing could have prepared me for this second set!!!! The band came back on stage and kicked into One of these days!!! Vic was teasing Night Moves, Hollywood Night's, & other Seeger classics
throughout. The band was building into a frenzy, they fogged the stage and then suddenly Dave stepped out of his corner with a chainsaw and a leather face mask. The crowd went nuts as he soloed on the chainsaw and cried out "One of these Days I'm going to CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES" The band brought us down with one their original tunes I think it was called Paisley Highroad???? (please let me know if you have the official title)The rest of the set was unbelievable. I couldn't imagine what they were going to encore with.
Encore??? no they came out and played another 2 hour set.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! During the 3rd set they took us to the farthest reaches of the galaxy and back again. Scotts Base solo during Heart of the Sunrise had the entire crowd singing Wilson for at least 10
minutes!!!!!! Erics drumming was solid all night, but during the
transition of You Want Blood -> Heart of the Sunrise Reprise He turned into a madman He was playing Cheeseburger in Paradise on a steel drum with one hand and laying out one hell of a beat with his other. Def Leopard should watch out for this guy!!! Over all I give the show a 10!!!! Their choice of cover songs dipped into the deepest volumes of ROCK history and the originals are a fantastic cross between early 70's Elton John and Medicine Hat!!!! I can't wait until the next gig!!! What a show. If you can get the CDR's you won't be sorry. CHED

Ed Note: This was easily the sloppiest performance of the band's One Week career...They were terrible... However, the debut versions were incredible! A completely different band. It makes one wonder of Vic is wasting his time with a rock and roll band and not pursuing his first love of Performance Rock. In addition, Please note that this was the first show where Dave Didn't compose a painting during one of the extended jams... Finally, Caffey was wearing a Rodman Jersey from San Antonio Spurs. @Joe Jackson theme /Jam with glimpses of the artists songs played within the context of Heavy Metal riffs and Space Music...
#Group Original "Short&Minkus" Texas Dave On Lead

At first I thought having taste the Waste play at our daughters wedding would be a treat for the kids. If it wasn't our daughters wedding we would have called the police. Their homoerotic stage show, IS NOT appropriate for any sort of party! Not only did the band make crude remarks about the bride all night, but they also dragged the groom on stage and forced him to simulate oral sex on a carrot!!!! Fortunately my dear mother had left the wedding before the one they called 'Chainsaw' cut his head open with a bottle and challenged me to a fight on stage. I would have taught him a lesson, but he was crazed and I actually feared for my life. By the second set most of the band was half naked. One of the guitar players was only wearing a bow tie and a cummerbund. He kept begging the bridal party to rub cake on his rear end.
If I had known what a drunken mess these boys were, I would have put my foot down and gone with the original plan of having Bubbles McFadden DJ.

Taste the Waste - LIVE at the WYO !!!! 7/19/03
That's right ladies and gentlemen, the WYO's 'Grand Re-Opening' (after being closed for 10 years due to the dead body of Brad Waxman dressed in drag found in the ladies bathroom)."Okay people, their last gig at Dawson's wedding was by far the bands worst, however, they came back with a serious vengeance and absolutely blew the f**king doors off the place. This is already being toted as the 'flagship' Waste show. If you weren't there, you might as well end it all now !!! There will be nothing better in our lifetimes. No special guests, no theatrics, basically, no messing around. The entire band was dressed in black (and, although I couldn't tell for sure, most people were saying the 'Caffey' was wearing 'black face', it is debatable). For all lovers of music, the performing arts, high energy electricity, sports and the like, this show was easily the pinnacle of rock music history on the North Shore. Let me set the stage for all readers who were stupid enough to actually miss this exemplary performance; First, to enter the Y.O., you had to be wearing a Halloween costume. Once at the door you were given a wristband for the 'complimentary' bar (some say the green wristbands were dosed, however, I cannot confirm). Girls in cat outfits, guys in S&M gear, you just can't imagine the insaneness of the scene. Lights went off at 9:30. The stage was dimly lit with a generous amount of fog surrounding. Lighting was provided by 'Schaponiac Spaz Lighting Co.' and the fog and bubble machines were provided by 'Roadhouse Bluz Bubble Co.'. They both did a tremendous job complimenting the intensity. The roar of the rather intimate crowd was heart warming and reminded me of the early 'Eyes of the World' shows years back. All stars were aligned perfectly for a night of extraordinary pleasures. And pleasure is what we received..."

By the end of the set there were only about half a dozen people left in the parking lot. The band later said that they were experimenting with trying to alienate their fans, and that the experiment had been more of a success than they had hoped for.)

an article from the Madison Sun
Big Trouble at Badger Park
Badger Park will never be the same. Last Sunday our Madison Police Dept. broke it's arrest record for a single day. Heres' the breakdown...
75 - Illegal use of Inhalants
120 - Public Drunkenness
175 - Public Nudity
2 - possession of fire arms
12 - Arson
1 - petty theft
85 - Disorderly conduct
3 - conspiring to over throw the government
28 - Vandalism
Total - 501
How did all this happen in one day? Many will blame the rock band 'Taste the Waste' Although none of the members of the band were arrested, it is said that their music and sexual energy drove the crowd of 510 into a total frenzy. Guitar Player Victor Zo Fo Short had this to say about the afternoon concert. " I thought we played particularly well today. Our stage energy has really started evolve in last couple of weeks" In the official release Taste the Wastes manager Dan Silverman stated " Taste the Waste, has never discouraged people from taking their clothes off, however we are avid fans of the United States Government and these pinko's who were conspiring against our government have received a lifetime ban from our concerts." The next Taste the Waste concert is scheduled for 7-29-03 at the Highway Oasis Wendy's on interstate 294 (in Lake Forrest)

House Of Blues: Los Angeles, Ca
VH-1 Broadcast the entire show w/ interviews
I have seen the future faces of rock and roll and they are not pretty: But
they sound killer!
The Band Came out Wailing on the first three numbers: Tight, Confident and
Loud! What was amazing about this show was how they went from rock &
roll, To country to space music with such ease and clarity. This band has
arrived! This show gets my vote for show of their career. With the
exception of the Barat College gig and the WYO. However, they didn't
seem as "big" as they did tonight. Ed Note: Jack Black was in the
audience. He was seen leaving with the drummer Eric. Jack has not jammed
with the band since Dave started painting on stage and the band began it
creating a country flavor. Will he join for any of the remaining shows?
We will see.... Note: Six Feet Under was played as a country song for the
first time tonight.

Afterwords the band stuck around to sign autographs and for a brief press conference.
Here's the transcription from the conference (ed note there were about 2 dozen reporters present, I couldn't catch who was asking what so they will all be called Reporter)

Reporter: How do you guys like LA?
Caffey: LA has been very Kind to us (Band all laughs)
Scott: yah very Kind (rappin makes a gesture with his hands of his finger going in and out of a hole)
Reporter: Are you surprised by the success of the House Blues Shows?
Zo: F&%k NO!!! We are the best Damn Band on the Planet
Reporter: This question is for Dave, How did the whole chainsaw thing come about?
Dave: Well it all started when Caffey came back from India, we were all very heavily involved with Tantric love making and then Eric presented us with the concept of spiritual chaos.
Eric: It was more of a way to balance the zodiac with storm chasing.
Zo: That was about the same time we did some work with Jimmy Page
Caffey: Ahhh Jimmy Page
Dave: Yah, Jimmy introduced us to smoking dragon scales, and that's when everything changed. The chainsaw just seemed to be the next natural step.
Reporter: Do you plan to release a CD of original material at any point?
Zo: We believe that every time we play a song we make it original, but to answer your question we plan on someday releasing a series of box sets chronicling mans journey into the future.
Reporter: Caffey, why do you sometimes wear a Lando mask?
Caffey: I don't know what your talking about I have never worn a mask on stage
Reporter: What about you playing in black face at the famous WYO gig
Caffey: That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!!!
Reporter: What about Jack Black why didn't he make a guest appearance last night?
Scott: We all love Jack, but Jack doesn't understand the nature of time and space
Zo: When Jack & I get together, magic happens. We can go for hours with out making eye contact. But Jack is very one dimensional, where Taste the Waste is like somewhere in the 8th Dimension
Caffey: The 8th Dimension is a very dangerous place to go, because you have to cross the 4rth dimension to get there
Zo: That's really about the time we started playing Yes songs
Reporter: Do you have anything to say to bands just starting out?
Dave: Be true to your urges
Eric: Practice Practice Practice
Zo: Try to avoid the blues
Scott: I drink a raw egg every morning
Caffey: You can never take yourself serious enough!!!!

Supplication....

Eric and Vic get into a big fight and the session is cut short.
Apparently Vic made a side comment about Eric and Jack?
Dave visibly misses Susan & Jonah: The road is hard for him...
Choose Your Own Adventure is an amazing Rock and Roll Song that sounds like
a cross between Raw Van Halen & Rod Stewart???? It will be interesting
to see if the Space Jam is really part of the song or just a spontaneous
extension? Great Crimson Like Riffs on that one. Did I hear an old
Genises Song teased in there? Robbery, Arms and something? I can't recall
but I think it is on Trick Of The Tail?
Dave' new Jonah: You Are Everywhere is a cross between an REM ballad and
one of Pete Townshend's genius compositions. Is it just me or does the
band really sound like The Early Kinks when the ballad kicks up? This
might be the Behind Blue Eyes of the modern era. A beautiful and haunting
song...
Dave's role is constantly being reinvented. For my money he is the real
genius of the band. Caffey is too unpredictable. Vic is clearly talented
but quite an egomaniac. Is he jealous of Jack and Dawson's influences on
the band? More to come...

#Ed Note: Apparently there was major friction among members of the band regarding the setlist. Caffey demanded that he write out the setlist and that they play all his choices. Very Weird...However, the performance was great. Please note that before this show Chainsaw had sang When I Was A Boy. However, having Zo on lead brought a more confident feel to the song as opposed to the somewhat dark interpratation by Chainsaw. With Zo it sounds like a
Black Crowes original. The Boys gave it a very solid country rock sound: A LA Led Zeppelin. It Kicks... Great cover.

Editors Note: The New Bomb Turks Opened & at the beginning of the 1st set Eric Stood up on his Seat and yelled into the Microphone the following statement "we've done four already and now we're steady and then they went 1,2,3,4..." The band seemed very amused and excited by this sudden burst of rock and roll acknowledgment to the elders and broker into a blistering Fully realized rock and roll version of " Playin' In the Band Intro" which lasted about 2 minutes but had the place going crazy! Each member pretended to walk up to the mic to sing the first verse and then brushed it off. The band was crying they were laughing so hard!! It was really funny. I thought Zo was going to run with it... The band was cleary rushing in a moment of spontaneous excitement and then Zo launched into a killer version of Ain't Talkin' Bout Love...The joint was jumpin...
This is easily one of the best shows ever...The band should take more days off if they keep coming back like this..

This Show Was "Interesting"... The first set alone was 2 1/2 hours!!!
People were shocked, stunned, annoyed, angry, excited, etc,etc. Some of the tapers exclaimed it was the greatest first set ever. While another fan noted that he doesn't like the lack of original songs in the first set or the band's emphasis on "out-music" as he put it... It should be noted that this was the first Flying High Again, I think? And what a great version it was! In addition, during the psychedelic madness that was Playin In The Band Jams the boys displayed a back drop of images of The Chicago Cubs and The Late Chicago Sting. These images were displayed at various speeds... Some very fast and others VERY SLOW... In addition please note that this was the longest Choose Your Own Adventure ever clocking in at 36 minutes. Glad to see Eric's Power drumming back in full force for The SUnday Bloody Sunday Intro Tease. Has he been working out? Space Pirates is another Caffey Classic: King Crimson Meets Van Halen. Is it just me or is there a theme happening with Caffey's songs as of late? One die-hard fan reported that he saw Caffey in the gym before the show and Caffey told him that the band are working on a Concept Album Based on the theme of Space Pirates... Inspired by Caffey's appreciation for Lando Calrissean... and Dave's interest in the interconnecedness of Lonely McDonald's across the nation and the various experiences he has had and contemplated in relation to them....

What Did Happen that night? This Was an outrageous Show. Clearly the band playes their best shows in the midwest. South Side's family was in attendance as well...Th eBand Debuted ALOT of new Material At this show. ALL of them Killer songs. With the exception of How Was I Supposued to Know?! this performamce was a little "Raw" and seemed very "unrehearsed?". South Side let out alot of emotion, though, It seems Like his family was aware of the debut somehow...See the post show interview with Mr. Jacobson on the Band's website...Is Zo no longer the "man" he once was? However, His debut of I woke Up Next To You left not a dry eye in the house! Especially his. This song reminds me alot of Silent In The Morning, but better with more emotion and mojo... In addition, It really seems like the rest of the band is developing at a very fast rate. Whitney Allen was seen leaving with
Eric & jack Black...

Here's a recent article from the Winnetka Talk

END OF AN ERA...
After 52 years the M&H Grill is finally closing it's doors. For most of it's years the M&H has been an eyesore in our beautiful downtown Hubbard Woods. Over the years there have been 8 attempts to re-zone the small stretch of Greenbay. None have been successful because of the whiny claims of a so called grandfather clause. As of Oct 1, 2003 we will officially have our street back. Mayor Daniel Paul had this to say " It's been a long time coming, Hubbard Woods will soon be the a place to be proud of! First we got rid of those dirty Chinese merchants at 'King Long', then we undermined the filthy hippie ideals of 'My Pie II', and I don't even know what to say about Al's Diner except for Good Riddance!!!! Now all we have to do put some sort of fence around the McDonalds on Greenbay"
Not all people were happy about the closing of this 'Grease Pit'. Local band Taste the Waste played a free farewell concert in the park across the street. I don't know what is more offensive, the stink of the M&H or the loud Rock stylings of Taste the Waste. These alleged local hero's have soiled the dignity of our quiet village. For the final encore the band came out wearing only Hot Dog Buns. During one of the songs the one they call 'Big Country' covered him self in mustard and had the audience throw onions and celery salt on him. From the hotdogs hanging from their zippers to the various sexual innuendoes (which seemed prominent in every song they played) I found their antics to be totally crude. I hope we never see the likes of them or the M&H Grill again!!!!!

The transcript from the interview to follow....

CD= Carson Daily

CD: Welcome to the shows guys, I have to say I'm a big fan. Thanks so much for coming out
Zo: Carson it's our pleasure
Big Country: Anything for you Carson
CD: You guys have been touring like mad, Europe, Japan, Canada, all over the US. How's it been going?
South Side: Carson it's been F*&king outstanding!!!
Zo: We love to be out with the fans, they are really what keeps us going
(the crowd erupts in cheers)
Zo: When we were in Japan I had this realization, that it's OK to hate and love foreigners on different spiritual levels. It was amazing
Caffey: Zo really has come a long way.
CD: How about your various solo projects, have they interfered with the band at all?
Caffey: The Space Pirates are like my bastard step children of Taste the Waste, Those guys allow me to throw on some chaps and slide down the existential greasy pole
Chainsaw: When I first told the guys about Pregnant Wolf, they were like you F&$king C*#k Su#@er. I was really surprised how well they took it.
Schaefer: It's not that we were mad about the project, It's that F$#king Mike Gordon. I don't think any of us have gotten over his better than thou BullSh$T. A long time ago we asked him for some help with one of our demo tapes, and he was like Sit and Spin you amateurs.
Chainsaw: Mike had a lot of anger then, he's much better now. He's a different man
CD: What about Your Soaking In It?
Zo: What's to say, Taste the waste is where I come for metaphysical boundary breaking and Your Soaking in It, is the dirty place I like to travel when the job needs to get done
South Side: I got kicked out of my solo band.
CD: What's up with Jack Black?
Caffey: We have a bond with Jack that can never be broken. One time Jack & I were in the desert looking for the Shaman Jim Morrison. We were totally lost, it had been over 2 days since our water ran out, we were on the verge of insanity, and suddenly Jack pulls out a gun and shoots me in the foot and leaves me to die. 10 hours later, I was breathing my last breath and Jack shows up in a Hum-V with strippers and all sorts of booze.
CD: Wow that's really amazing
Big Country: We love Jack Black!!!! He would be in the band if it wasn't for our rule of 6.
CD: What's next for you guys
Chainsaw: We don't think of next we only think of Now
Zo: and now we are going to spend a little time studying with Bobby McFerrin studying the link between religion and distortion
Caffey: We'll be in NYC for a few days playing a few shows...
CD: OK we have to go to commercial stay tuned for some live music from Taste the Waste!!!!

Thoughts Moving Forward

Good Morning.

I would like to take a moment and dispel some rumors and clarify some
reoccurring thoughts I have been having... First, and perhaps most importantly, I am not leaving the band to work full time with the Space Pirates. Period. However, I am very concerned about the current status of the Taste. In my opinion ever since Japan things have been going "down-hill" and at times simply pathetic. More specifically the second set at The Bottom Line was a disaster and the Hollywood VH-1 show was a spectacle and not really "us," if you will.
In addition, I have a confession to make: I am sorry that I ever played a show with The Space Pirates. Why? Because ever since then the spark and creativity of this band has been weak. I am slightly dubious as to the future of this band if we continue to spin our wheels pursuing solo projects. Which is not to say that Pregnant Wolf and whatever Vic's Band is called are not amazing vehicles. They are. My concern is that Taste The Waste will become ghosts of our former selves. I am suggesting a layoff from performances. I think we need to go in the studio and cut our 2 albums ASAP. The traditional and the Space Rock concept album. The energy behind Choose Your Own Adventure needs to be accessed while it is fresh and Trevor Rabin's studio in England is available the month of August...

In summary, I am sick of playing shows that aren't good. In my opinion the overall sanity and well-being of this band is an urgent matter.
We need to refocus. I have been in conversation with Jack regarding these matters and he couldn't agree more. And by the way he isn't mad at Vic anymore. Finally, I suggest a band meeting this week...

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Best regards,

Lando Caffey


I Am Out...

On Second thought I am out: Its over. You guys took too long too respond to my previous letter.
Good luck fellas. I think you will understand in all good time...

I plan on making an official announcement in Mid August.

Best wishes,

Lando

Sign out front of Washburn said "PTA Meeting" then below it "Taste the Waste - Tonight!". The band was visibly upset at the marquee.

Re: I Am Out...


Caffey, I am truly sorry that you feel the way you do. I hope this isn't because we told you not to bring your girlfriend to rehearsals any more. You have to understand we all feel that she is draining you and that you have changed since you two started getting serious. She is ruling your life! Ever since she told you not to play 'And I Moved' any more things started going down hill. I know the 2 of you share a bond that can not be broken, I understand how difficult and emotional the rebirthing ceremony you went through together was. I did the rebirthing thing a few years ago, and I know it's very emotional. When I was squeezing my way out of that birth canal I thought there's no way I can continue, but I persevered and took that experience as a way to move on with my life. It seems like you have turned it into a source of resentment. Life is a miracle not an excuse!
Your stage presence used to ooze sexuality. It seems like ever since you've taken on the macho cowboy persona that you have been afraid to show your true colors on stage. Is it because you walked in on Jack Black giving head to Iggy Pop? Did that scare you? It's OK most of the greats have given Iggy head. That doesn't mean anything!
Any ways I wish you all the luck in the world, and if you ever want to sit in with Pregnant Wolf the door is always open. As for Taste the Waste, I don't think South Side or Schaefer will ever talk to you again.

Best of luck
Chainsaw

VH:1 Behind The Music Interview #1

VH-1: What are some of your influences that have inspired such an
ecclectic band?
Zo: You know, Early Halen, Zappa, Yes, Metal, Out-Jazz, Power-pop, you name it.
Chainsaw Interrupts: concept albums....
VH1: Concept Albums?
Caffey: yeah, Like Tommy, Pet Sounds, Joe's Garage, things like that. And of course Country music.
ZO: Yeah , of course.
Rico: YEah, concept albums are probably our biggest influence.
VH:1 Say more?
Rico: albums, you know, bands that made concept albums.
VH-1: Like Sergeant Peppers and such?
South-Side: No, no, not those kind. Albums, concept albums like, BB King Live at The Cook County Jail and Muddy Waters Folk Music, i think it s called that...
Paul Schaffer: Those aren't concept albums?!?!? Is this Live?
South-Side: Yes, They are!! You idiot.
Rico: Yeah, its true. Concept albums really have influenced us the more I think about it...Albums Like Dead-Set, LiveDead, Reckoning, American Beauty, really artistic & visionary well-thought out conceptual art in the form of, you know, music....
Zo: Huh? Those aren't concept albums you hill-billy!
Rico: Whatever, Jacobson. I mean Zo.
Whole Band: Huh?
Rico: Nothing.
Caffey: I am leaving the band...
Whole Room: Silence
Caffey: I think.
VH-1: Why?
Caffey: I want Zo to apologize.
Zo; For what?
Caffey: for inviting Robin to North Carolina while we were together...

Commercial Break....

RE: 1 Behind The Music Interview #1
Robin will ALWAYS be mine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Taste the Waste: Press Announcement

We here at Taste the Waste regret to announce that Scotty 'South Side' Jacobson is no longer an active member of Taste the Waste. Unfortunately in the past few months South Side's behavior has become totally erratic and unpredictable. At the present time South Side has agreed to seek counseling and we hope to welcome him back to the band when he has his act together. Call it spiritual differences, or recklessness... We wish Scotty the best of luck. He will be missed.
Starting immediately we are proud to announce our new bass player Jake 'The Dragon' Roadhouse Blues!!! The Dragon, we are hoping will bring a new spark to this band. It's been a hard week with Caffey quitting and the unfortunate situation with South Side. The Dragon is a modern master on the 7 string Fretless Bass. He studied under jazz great Rufus Reed and rock legend Getty Lee!!! The Dragon's most recent band "This is a Weed Bust" had 2 successful singles ( 'Boot in you Face' & 'Smash you Concept') and just recently finished a tour of Haiti!!!!
We are Proud to welcome the Dragon and can't wait to get back on the road!!!!

Schaefer
Big Country
Chainsaw

Press Announcement: Follow Up

To Whom It May Concern:

We Here At Space Pirate Enterprises want to initiate a discussion regarding the use of Caffey and South Side original songs w/in the context of Taste The Waste Performances, albums, commercial usage, etc,etc.. More specifically, we trust that such songs will no longer be used in any context by the current Taste Lineup. Lando Caffey, Jose, David, and perhaps South Side plan on using these songs in future projects. Your support is appreciated.
In regards to having The Dragon join....Good Luck, he is a headcase.
Furthermore, let it be known that Space Pirate Enterprises is more than
happy to bring Southside into our camp. Please note he will be
"vacationing" with us in Arizona for the next few months while my country outfit begins rehearsals for our upcoming tour of the Southwest where we will be triple billed alongside the Great George Jones as well as David Carradine's new C&W band...

In summary: I have no hesitation, doubts, hopes, or for that matter, any fears regarding my decision to step away from The Taste. I wish you all the best.

Finally, let it be known that whether I am Dead or Alive, the legend of Lando Caffey will always breathe fresh air and inspire the feeling of the open road in all who come in contact with my music...

Best regards,

Lando, Dangerous David, Jose, Southside, and Jack...Yes, Jack.


PS

Zo had his chance to apologize. I know what his songs are about...

Over all the show was a success, there does however seem to be some building resentment towards Caffee. Before the show the band caught wind a rumor that Caffee helped South Side escape from Rehab. They were not pleased.
As for the Dragon, He made an impressive show with his first outing. He was a little rusty on the original tunes, although his bass solo on Zeppliphobia, won over the audience!!!
On a side note, Steve Schiponiac's light show was unbelievable!!! He's really becoming like a member of the band.

Lando Caffey & The Space Pirates: Arizona Practice Sessions #3

The imagery expressed in these songs clearly invoke Caffey's love for his
ex-bandmates
IS Caffey The Next Hank Williams?
Please see the songs below many of which were apparently written for
Chainsaw, if not at all. These are raw country Songs that are reminiscent of Blonde on Blonde or Self-Portrait with a raw steel pedal and drum kick too many...
Ed Note" You can clearly Hear Caffey say "This Ones For The Saw" as he counts off the intro to the county version of Blue, Red, & Grey...Which is an incredible reworking. Who would have thought?...
On a few occassions it sounds as though Caffey is choked up, particulary on I Watched You Sleep...What a song that is!
Caffey is Back!!! Where Is My Gas Cap? is an amazing road song: Bandits, Ladies, and running from the law. Caffey's favorite themes...
Clearly he and the Saw have some great memories. Too Bad Zo had to ruin
everything....

Taste the Waste: on the new Tom Green Show

Here's the transcript from Taste the Waste's appearance on the New Tom Green Show

Tom: Ladies and Gentlemen Taste the Waste...
(Crowd Cheers)
Zo: Hey Tom How's it going, Here we brought you a gift.
(Zo Hands tom a large box w/ a bow on it, Tom pulls the top off and finds fake plastic dog poop inside)
Tom: Oh how nice... poopie (Crowd Laughs)
Chainsaw: It's imported from Hong Kong
Big Country: The real deal Tom
Tom: Wow I'm touched, well let's see Taste the Waste brings Poopie... Do you like poopie?
Schaefer: congratulations on your new show Tom, we're all big fans
Tom: Thanks, I hope this poopie isn't where my ratings are going after tonight
(crowd laughs)
Tom: So Dragon, what's it like to be in the band?
Dragon: So far it's been really interesting, I've got some really big shoes to fill. I get a lot of well... Caffey used to play it this way, which I don't understand cause he didn't even play bass.
Tom: So tell me guys what happened with Lando Caffey? did things go to Poopie
Zo: Who, 'White Pepper'?
(the band all laughs)
Zo: All I can say is that 'White Pepper' needs to grow up. Playing cowboys and Indians is for children
Chainsaw: There were some artistic differences, Pure Guava (band all laughs) has his own things going on right now. We respect his choice as an artist to explore new territory.
Tom: [singing] Poopie for you poopie for me (putting the fake dog poop on the side of his face)
(Crowd Laughs)
Chainsaw: 'The Pod', has threatened us with law suits about the use of his 'so called material' really the truth is even before our first gig at Season Tickets Bar & Grill (Crowd cheers) We all agreed that any thing we played live on stage would become public domain.
Tom: [singing] me lika poopah you lika poopah
Schaefer: the goal was to get away from labeling things, There's so many labels attached to songs these days, it really hurts the true vision, Who really cares about who wrote what or who produced this!
Big Country: Look the truth is that 'The Mollusk' is a liar
Tom: Woaaaa there Big Country, We don't want to call anyone a liar on TV! poopie for you?
Zo: I wish we hadn't brought that dumb piece of Sh*T (he grabs the poop from Tom,)
Tom: My Poopie! My Poopie (He lunges at Zo the 2 of them begin wrestling on the floor)
Commercial Break

Tom: Welcome Back... Here's Taste the Waste to play a song for you!

Interview with Chainsaw from the Chicago Reader
By John Davis

The world of chainsaw has been described as an enigma on top of a riddle underneath extremely dense matter. Last night I had the opportunity to sit down with Chainsaw and find out a little bit about what makes him tick.


John: What's the most recent CD you've bought?
Chainsaw: I recently picked up a CD by a band called Muffalata. They are a cross between Brazilian Jazz and Swedish Black Metal. They're actually from Italy. Very interesting stuff!!
John: Tell me about your solo performance at The Morse Land
Chainsaw: Well these are songs that I've been kickin' around for some time. They are just too delicate for the likes of Pregnant Wolf; and Taste the Waste would probably just misinterpret them. Over the years I've recorded over 3000 hours of personal music. I thinks it's time I start letting the world hear some of it.
John: What's going on with Taste the Waste?
Chainsaw: That's a very good question. It's been a pretty rough couple of weeks with White Pepper leaving, us having to fire South side... Well last night I got a message from Zo, He was yelling about how the band just played the best show ever and how me & Caffey were holding him back. He sounded like he had been sniffing glue he was really out of it.
John: That's a real shock
Chainsaw: Tell me about it! I was like whoooaaaa, the band just played with out me? Thanks a lot for letting me know. I would have hoped after all we had been through that they would have had the decency to at least sit me down man to man. But the way Zo looks these days it might be more like Woman to Man!
John: I have noticed Zo's changes. I just kind of thought he was going through a Bowie phase
Chainsaw: Zo's Bowie phase started a couple months ago, it's really progressed though. The last time I saw him we were eating at Sarkis and he was wearing leather panties w/garters and a pink tank top. I thought it was a little over the top for just going out, but Zo said "it's only Fu*#ing Rock n' Roll"
John: So are out of the band?
Chainsaw: I don't know (Chainsaws eyes swell up and he stares out the window for about 5 minutes without talking)
John: Are you OK man?
Chainsaw: Look i'm sorry but this interview is over.

Chainsaw Steals the Show
article is from the Dallas Post

The real Star is Chainsaw
Last night the Ringo Star Allstar Orchestra Played at the House of Blues. For years Ringo has been bringing us low grade rock n' roll with a band full of has beens and second stringers. Last night was no exception. Ringo's newest Allstar Band was...
Ringo Star: Drums & Vocals
Peter Frampton: Guitar & Vocals
Trevor Rabin: Guitar & Vocals
Dr. John: Piano & Vocals
Mark Farner: Guitar & Vocals
Randy Bachman: Guitar & Vocals
Robbie Steinhardt: Violin & Vocals
Keith Emerson: Keyboards & Vocals
Clarence Clemens: Saxophone & Vocals
Rick Springfield: Guitar & Vocals
Chainsaw: Bass, Vocals & Water Colors
John 'Rabit' Bundrick: Keyboards & Vocals
Zak Starkey Drums
Bill Bruford: Drums & Percussion
Duff 'Rose' McKagen: Bass & Vocals
Billy Nicholls: Vocals
Chaka Khan: Vocals

This band was total overkill. There were so many people on stage that the show became one big sloppy mess. There was one standout performance. The relatively unknown bass player who goes by the name Chainsaw. The Saw (as his fans call him) is a former member of the now dwindling cult band Taste the Waste. The Saw hooked up with Ringo Star last month at a benefit show for the rare North American Tiger Stripped Snow Spaniel. Apparently the two did a duet of Crimson and Clover, and Star immediately asked The Saw to join his band. The Saw really took charge last night. His vocals on 'Fixing a hole' had even macho Randy Bachman in tears. The one moment when the band seemed to be really clicking was when The Saw put down his instrument and conducted the rest of the band (with a paint brush) in a rousing version of 'Set the Controls to the Heart of the Sun' off Pink Floyds classic Ummagumma. While conducting he was able to paint the cover of 'Sgt. Peppers'!! It was one of those you had to be there kind of moments. Other than the highlights from The Saw the show was one big mess. This would probably be a lot more palatable with less than half the musicians.

Formerly Known As Taste The Waste: CBGB's NYC

This was a surprise unannounced show. The band started the rumor the night
before by posting it in chat room frequently visited by Dragon Fans.

Re: Please Welcome The Dragon

I found this on one of the Taste the Waste fan web site message boards...
Although they said it would never happen. Taste the Waste has reunited!!! There is some debate circulating about the current name and structure of the band. There have now been 2 shows and everything has gone smoothly. Zo and Caffey seemed to be getting along quite well, although Chainsaw and Zo did not make eye contact the entire show (at CBGB's) they were spotted hugging outside of The Whiskey.
Things seem to be working out great with the Dragon. There's even rumor of a Dragon / Southside / Chainsaw - Bass Trio album????? very interesting.
See you all at the next gig

Steve 'I wish I was suzy' Schipaniac (unofficial archivist of the band)

We hope that the future of Taste the Waste will be long

Where's the Saw?
Posted 1:30 AM by: Nutznraisins

I just got back from the A.C. Nielson Gig. No Saw, Anybody know what's going on?

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:34 AM by: chuuzzurown

Yah Where the hell was he?

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:38 AM by: Wasting my Taste

I don't know about the saw, but the Band Cranked tonight!!!! Best show with the dragon yet?

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:39 AM by: Phish Phan 22

I heard the saw is detoxing????

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:41 AM by: TradingPlaces21

The band was on Fire tonight, Too bad The Saw couldn't make it. I heard he's quitting the band and going solo. Not with Pregnant Wolf though. His new band is going to be called 'The Phree Masons'

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:43 AM by: Wasting my Taste

My brother's friend said he saw The Saw at the Village Inn and he was piss drunk yelling that Zo doesn't rule the world and that Taste the Waste is over

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:45 AM by: Caffeyisfun

There's no Way, I was at the Village Inn watching Ched improvise to Police Academy 3, There was no sign of the Saw.

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:46 AM by: Wasting my Taste

Well maybe it wasn't the Village Inn, but my brothers friend is pretty reliable.

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:47 AM by: Lumpygravy

These are dark times for The Saw we need to rally around him. He needs all our help. If any one's at a gig where there's no Saw and No explanation, we need to walk out and let the band know we demand The Saw.

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:50 AM by: Caffeyisfun

Whoooaaa, settle down Lumpygravy, I wouldn't say we should leave, Tonight's show really did kick ass!!!! I would have been totally bummed if I had left

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:50 AM by: TradingPlaces21

No Way would I leave the Show!!!!!

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:52 AM by Lumpygravy

I heard that Zo & The Dragon are trying to start a new band w/ the violin player from Dave Matthews

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:53 AM by: Caffeyisfun

That guy sucks, That band would be awful.

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:54 AM by Lumpygravy

I know, Zo is really losing it. Did you know that Big Country and Schaefer are unhappy with the direction the band is going in. I heard they want more big psychedelic jams. Also that the only way they can get Southside to come up on stage is offer him drugs!!!!

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:55 AM by: Caffeyisfun

Where are you getting this info?

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:55 AM by: Lumpygravy

Uhhh a good friend of mine knows The Saw from his Tilton days

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:56 AM by: Spooky

I heard that The Saw is not showing up to practice, and is too concerned with turning every show into a psychedelic freak out. And that some of the members of the band are getting fed up with it.

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:57 AM by: Lumpygravy

That's ridiculous!!!! The Saw never misses practice

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:58 AM by: Spooky

I also heard that The Saw has been spending way too much time on his solo projects and not giving the band the attention they need

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 1:59 AM by: Lumpygravy

That's crazy talk The Saw loves Taste the Waste more than anything!!!! He would never put them second to his amazing solo career

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 2:02 AM by: Spooky

Why was he busy working on the art work for his new concept album, while the rest of the band was learning new material that Caffey brought in?

Re: Where's the Saw
Posted 2:03 AM by: Lumpygravy

Who is this??

Chainsaws Official Press Statement Regarding Mike Gordon

I have had the pleasure of working and camping with Mike Gordon. During all the time we spent together not once did he act inappropriately towards me. Mike loves to take pictures of everyone. He is not biased on who is in the frame. We did nude shoots up in Canada with Myself and 2 elderly ladies. Mike does not discriminate. He is not a deviant. He just loves art! The claims being made against him are totally ridiculous! Everyone knows that girls are crazy about Mike and that they are always trying to lure him into secluded places. The very thought that Mike did not have good intentions for the evening disgusts me. Mike is one of the most considerate people I know. One time we were on a glue sniffing bender, I got totally out of control and robbed a small gas station. Well Mike waited for me to finish with my antics then he locked me in the trunk of his car and set the entire place on fire killing everyone and disposing of any evidence. That's what I call a stand up guy! So Please don't prejudge Mike. He needs our support now more than ever.

The Saw: Live At Brian Wilson's House

As oF Late The Saw Has been writing songs with the infamous Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Their correspondance began in 1990 when the Saw was attending support group meetings for substance abuse and came across A used Brian Wilson solo album that really inspired him. He wrote Brian a letter and then later thaqt year The Saw was able to visit Brian at his home in Southern California with the assistance of the Saw's manager/friend Brad.
( Ed Note: Hard-core fans will love to know that The song 'Don't Trust Brad' is based on this meeting).

Apparently, after the three had conversed about art & food for an hour or so, Brad excused himself to use the restroom. Brian then looked deep into the Saw's eyes and whispered the following:

Brian :"Don't Trust Brad, okay?!"
The Saw: What? Excuse Me?
Brian: Silence
The Saw: What Did You Say? (shifty nervous question)
Brian: Imitates The Saw's physical posture and gestures
At that moment Brad re-enters the room and The Saw was never able raise the issue again. Later he relaized that it was a spiritual message.
To Make a long story short, The Saw was very effected by this interaction and interpreted the message to be from a higher power that Brian was channeling at the time.... (Fans should also note that The Saw's Painting "The Scream" was done as an expression of how loud the message was from Brian. Metaphorically speaking, that is.

The following list of songs are Brian on Piano and The Saw on electronics recorded at Brian's studio...the sessions were titled "Art For Art's Sake"

Wouldn't It Be Nice

She Hurt Me
What Happened That Night?!

statement) .

Interview from "No Depression" Zine
Interview from "No Depression" Zine
by: Jeff Tweedy
Jeff: There's a lot of buzz going on about the Old Abandoned Apartment Sessions, any plan to release the material?
Zo: That apartment has a lot of good and bad memories, I'm glad to be out of there
Caffey: We all knew that it would be our last visit to the old place, It really was a special time for all of us.
Saw: We've been really immersed in delta blues and honkey tonk music lately. These sessions really gave us a chance to show off our American influences.
Jeff: From what I've heard, your sound really changed for these sessions. A lot of your critics would say you are maturing.
South Side: In the past we were so influenced by the European hippie scene, I think we lost sight of what is important to us.
Big Country: As American's we feel it's important to respect our elders. Neil Young, Bryan Adams, Getty Lee etc....
Caffey: Those guys are Canadians you idiot
Big Country: I meant as North Americans.
Saw: Aren't we at war with Canada?
Jeff: No we're not at war with Canada
Zo: I think your wrong Jeff, we've been at war with Canada for last 20 years, it just doesn't get any press.
Caffey: Yah it's like a secret war
Schaefer: Hey I'm Canadian, I didn't know about this
Zo: Whooaaaaaaa you're from Canada?
South Side: How long have you known this and not told us?
Schaefer: What do you mean 'How Long' I've always been Canadian, that's where I was born!
Jeff: Can we move on? Please, we are not at war with Canada, and it's no secret that Schaefer is Canadian, everyone knows that! OK... Zo, I know in the past it's been difficult for you play 'the blues' it seems like that has changed, what do you think?
Saw: I didn't know Schaefer was from Canada did you Rico?
Big Country: Yah I knew, I didn't think it mattered.
Zo: I doesn't matter, we just like to know who everyone is. I feel like I need to re-get to know you Schaefer
Schaefer: That's demented!
Jeff: Please... Can we talk about the Old Abandoned Apartment Sessions!!!!
Saw: Yah that's what we're here for isn't it?
Caffey: These sessions were really an important bonding session for us. We really learned a lot about how we sound as a group.
Zo: I can't believe I shared that sandwich with you Schaefer.
Schaefer: What the hell is the big deal?
Zo: Then that time you had a sip off my whine? I'm sorry, I'm just a little freaked out right now (Zo gets up and leaves)
Schaefer: I don't understand?
Caffey: Are you Happy now (pointing at Schaefer)
Saw: I'm sorry Jeff, but this interview is over....

Please Welcome Trilok Gyurto
Interview with Percussion Zine: A Local Bay Area Publication

PZ: Rico please tell us who your influences are?
Rico: That book about Chicago and the meat factories. You know the one I mean? I think Orwell might have written that. Its about Meat and how it is produced, kind of. CSN were also big influences on me, still are.
PZ: CSM?
RICO: No, CSN: Crosby, Stills & ...
PZ: Oh I see. But as far as drummers or percussionists if you will?
RICO: Well, Like I Said CSN. Whoever the drummers were on those early
albums.
PZ; I See. That is really interesting.
RICO: And the guy from Led Zep
PZ: The guy from Led Zep, John Bonham.
RICO; Yeah, I recently saw A DVD with him and he kind of inspired me.
PZ: What else has influenced your playing?
RICO: Movies, comedies. Like Black Sheep, Tommy Boy, Meet the Parents, early John Belushi stuff. But not Continental Divide. I hated that. Neighbors influenced some of my "out" playing. I also really enjoy hockey. Or I did as a kid. I was a goalie and that really inspired me to play.
PZ: I see. Who have been some of your musical heroes?
RICO: PPPPFFFFFFF....Lets see. I really enjoy The Grateful Dead. But you know...
PZ: Can say more about your drumming influences?
RICO: Okay, here is the deal. When I was a kid I was also really into
indoor soccer. We had season tickets to the Chicago Sting. I loved this player named Karl Heins Granitza. His style really inspired my playing. Strong but gentle. If I were a fruit I would be a ripe avocado: soft but firm.
PZ: An avocado is a vegetable.
RICO; No Its not! I recenty met this gut named Karim. His father is is named Trilok Gyurto who played in John Mclaughlin's bands. He played on that one record Live at The Royal Albert Hall. I invited Trilok to join us for awhile. I want to get a bigger sound..
PZ: Really? That is really wild.
RICO: (Stares blankly)
PZ: I wonder how that will fit in?
RICO: You don't have to make a big deal about it, okay?!
PZ: How did you meet?
Rico: I know his daughter. Your time is up...I gotta go pick up Southside in the city. Later....

Re: Goodbye To Zo: VH-1 Rumor

Zo is against it...and as you know he is the leader of this band...I smell
a Space Pirate Reunion Tour...
Caffey

Zo, has been so on edge lately. The band is playing better than ever, but the fact that he refuses to send you the master reels for the box set just doesn't seem right. The other day I asked him if he had any luck with the remastering of our EP (the Glencoe Remixes) and he practically attacked me. I don't know what to do... As it turns out I have to abandon the Pregnant Wolf concept, there is a Japanese Noise Rock band that has been going under the same name for the last 10 years. They have threatened to sue me if I ever use the name Pregnant Wolf on any of my projects ever again. Susan is threatening to leave me after the Suzy Schiponiac incident... Taste the Waste is all I have right now. We have to try to work it out!

VIC'S PICKS VOL. 1 - Taste the Waste

** Live at Glow Woods 7-22-03 **

I picked this show for the very first installment of 'Vic's Picks' for many reasons. First and foremost, it represents the band in their early prime with a great set. This show was raw and ambitious. The opening jam (later labeled as the 'Creek Phreak Jam') is spontaneous yet one of the bands tightest improvisations to date. 22 minutes of pure Waste.

Although at first glance the set on paper might seem a tad standard, let me assure you, this shows performance is anything but. From the debut of 'What Color is Love' to the absolutely monumental (and rare) 1st set 'Joe Jackson Jam', to the raunchy and upbeat set closing of '53 & 3rd', the first set is all about spontaneity and FUN !!!

The second set is truly a masterpiece. The opening notes of Crazy Train bring the post-Phish show crowd into a complete frenzy, which does not stop throughout. The 'Ace of Spades -> One of These Days' is perhaps the most powerful and determined I have ever heard this band play. Not to mention some great early versions of originals such as 'Nuts & Raisins' and 'Trading Places' (which have unfortunately been out of recent rotation).

'Welcome to the Machine' is easily one of Taste's best semi-rare third sets (which most tapes had labeled incorrectly as 'Encore 1:' because it is only one song). The band had been practicing this song for weeks in sound checks and it paid off. One of the tightest single song performance of the bands young career.

The encores speak for themselves with melodies ringing from every direction.

Please, do yourself a favor and relax, sit back, turn the lights down, light a candle, whip out the headphones, grab a glass of wine and relish the hell out of this wonderful debut of 'Vic's Pick's Vol. 1' !!!

Enjoy.

-Vic

Live from the Saw Zone!!

OK Folks, In recent months, all of us at Taste the Waste have become more and more interested in our archives, I decided to put together a compilation of some of my favorite moments. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!
Sooo here goes...
Live From the Saw Zone Vol. 1

CD 1
1. Paint it Black ............................. 7:20 (The Bowling Lane, Chicago IL. w/ Kid Rock) This version was out of control, Zo was hitting the wah wah like nobodies business. I will always have found memories of the after show party when Kid Rock tried to give Rico hepatitis B
2. Hells Bells.................................. 12:43 (Papas Pizza, Barrington IL) This was the first show with out The Saw, I'll have to admit I was very upset about this show, but after hearing the tapes, I just couldn't resist. The band was really cranking that night
3. My Head Hurts Jam................ 15.06 (Armadillo World Headquarters Austin TX) What can I say, I think all of our heads hurt after this jam!!!
4. Goin Mobile (exaggerated country version)....................... 4:12 (Warfield Theater, San Francisco CA) We had been practicing this for weeks. It never quite sounded right, but that night something clicked! If you listen closely you can hear Jack Black let out a big Ya Hoooo after the "I'm an air-conditioned gypsy" line
5. Coyote (Joni Mitchel).................................... 5:50 (From the Last Waltz Soundtrack) I know this is supposed to be a Taste the Waste comp. But Taste the Waste does sing this song and I always loved this version
6. Diver Down............................................... 7:42 (Helens Pub, Toronto B Show) I thought Big Country's arms were going to fall off! That man is an animal!
7.Max's Room............................................ 9:24 ( Navy Pier Beer Garden, Chicago IL) This actually wasn't that great of a version, but Max kicked the crap out of me later that night for going through his stuff 22 years ago. So I figured I'd get a little more milage out of this version at least
8: Marble Tulip Juicy Tree (Ween)........................................... 5:35 (from Ween's 'Paintin' the Town Brown' Live Album) Another Great live Track

Disc 2

1. CSN&Y Dance Mix Audio Collage..........................53:38 (From 4 Way Street) I asked Big Country to put together some of his favorite live moments, and he delivered this little gem!!! He edited his favorite parts of CSN&Y's classic live concept album "4 Way Street" to some serious dance grooves. Go Rico Go Rico!!!!
2. The Race is On................................. 4:41 (Dawsons Wedding) I Dare any one to find a worse version of this song!!!!
3. 53rd & 3rd......................................2:58 (Glow Woods, Indiana 7-22-03) Vic's Picks Vol. 1 was just so great I had to include this one!!!!

Interview with Big Country & Trilok

Interview from Modern Drummer Magazine

MD: First I'd like to thank the two of you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to me.
BC: Hey it's our pleasure
TG: Any time
MD: Trilok, you really seem to be fitting in well with the band. Has this come as a shock to you?
TG: The boys in Taste the Waste remind me of myself when I was young. It's been a lot of fun joining with them in music making and spiritual adventures
BC: Having Trilok on board has really given all a new sense of rhythm
TG: Oh Rico, I'm so touched that you would say that
MD: Was it hard for you to adjust to playing rock & roll?
TG: Not at all. I've been a big fan of CSN for a long time.
BC: Sometimes when the band is playing me and Trilok will make eye contact and I'll just know he's thinking about CSN. So I throw in some signature CSN drum fill and his eyes widen and then he will start playing the rhythm of 'Carry On' or 'Suite Judy Blue Eyes' There's been some really amazing moments on stage
TG: What are you talking about?
BC: You weren't feeding off my CSN vibe?
TG: I thought you were taking the leap of self
BC: The leap of what?
TG: never mind
MD: Rico, how has playing with Trilok affected your style.
BC: Well I thought we had shared a few moments, but I guess I was wrong.
TG: We did share moments rico, you just need to focus your energy more. You have such a way with the drums.
BC: This is total Bull$@it! Focus? You're the one playing on the floor
TG: Whoooaaaaaaaa, don't lash out on me.
MD: OK you two settle down.
BC: Stay out of this! it's none of your business
TG: Yah this is between me and Rico
MD: Wait are you Rico or Big Country
BC: What the hell are you talking about why is everyone attacking me!
TG: I'm Sorry Rico
BC: Yah sorry about that outburst. Let's go listen to 4 Way Street and eat Masala Dosa
TG: Right on!

VIC'S PICKS Vol. 2...6 CD Set !!!

FIRST SHOW:

***Taste the Waste - SARS Benefit Show: Toronto Canada***

WOW ! Where do I start...

...This show is perhaps the first time many people realized that this band had HUGE balls of steel !!! And believe me, they were hanging VERY low on this particular night. Not only are the performances by far and away the tightest yet loosest of the bands career, but Caffey was especially 'sick' this night. He was a Greek (/Italian/Irish) God that night (and the women all noticed, trust me on that one...we have the pictures to prove it).

First of all, to dispel all the rumors floating around regarding this event, Caffey was NOT wearing 'Black Face' at this night of the now infamous 'Toronto Run'. With that said, Caffey was wearing a Lando Callrissian pendant that has been reported to be worth over $325. Quite impressive. Now on to the show itself...

The opening 'Saint -> Six' was perhaps the most ambitious (not to mention the LOUDEST) show opener of the entire summer. It tore a giant hole through the entire crowd that would never mend. The 62 beat BIODTL intro was in honor of Adam Treu, #62, the center of the Oakland Raiders. The band was absolutely on fire throughout the set but really whipped the place into a frenzy over the last 5 songs. The 'Kingdom -> Inca -> Spec -> Bustin' -> Bat !!!' Never, I mean, NEVER have I heard anything quite like it. I didn't realize that rock & roll could be so gaddam, well, scary. I was actually frightened.

The scariness continued on through the opening of the 2nd set with the extreme heavy metal version of 'Bucket'. I definitely did not realize that the Big Country could drum that fast. When the crowd wants 'Rico', Rico gives it to them in spades. In fact, this set was all about Rico, that is, up until the monumental 'Sun Fire'. That version threw us all for a loop.

The encores were nothing short of exceptional. The crowd was drenched with sweat and the what was once faint sent of patchouli was now stronger than I have ever experienced. Wonderful!

Please take time out of your busy schedules, hang your castanet's, and relish this show in all of it's glorious beauty. You will not regret it.

SECOND SHOW:

***You're Soaking In It - LIVE at Old Orchard Mall ***

I understand that this is NOT a 'true' Taste the Waste show which is why it is included as an 'add-on' to the incredible 'SARS Benefit Show', however, this show truly does deserve a spot in the catalog. There are some very essential 'debuts' that have forever changed the evolution of the later 'Taste' set lists. From the introduction of 'The Core' to the bust out of 'Winter Break', this show was a red flag for rock. The trio is as tight as can be and will someday be a no brainer for inductee status into the R&R HOF. The second encore was as twisted and demented as I have ever heard that song played. It definitely gave 'Taste' a run for their money, even though Zo repeatedly states the 'Soaking' is NOT a competitive alternative.

Enjoy this addition to the SICK AS BALLS Sars show. I mean, what the hell, it's free...

Vic's Picks Vol. 3

*** Taste the Waste - LIVE at the Gen-Con Convention in Cincinnati 9/27/03 ***

Yes folks, it is that time again. Fall is here, the trees are turning colors, the mornings are becoming chilly, and 'The Waste' is piling up !

For those who don't know, Gen-Con is a 'gamer' convention for 'cyber / sci-fi / conceptual / overweight / trench coat / YES shirt wearin' / Slurpee drinkin'' freaks who play D&D and Magic the Gathering card games and stuff. ((there were only 7 females in attendance))

This show was a real head turner. The space rock that occurred this night was never before preformed at a level of this magnitude. Cyber geeks across ALL of South West Ohio were creating D&D characters modeled and named after each band member after this show (Chainsaw was the most powerful and popular of course).

First, let me se the record straight. The first set was not nearly as loud as all of the stories floating around would lead you to believe. It was LOUDER ! Two weeks after the show we check the local doctor's office records and there were 2 cases of deafness reported from that night. Hey, s**t happens, okay. The set was as energetic as a tense Magic: The Gathering match in the

back room of EBX. It was totally electric and powerful (well, except for the 'And I moved' which we even contemplated editing out of the set).

The second set was beyond the beyond !!! People were literally passing out from the sheer volume and sweat smells. But the band played on. Oh did they ever ! The 'No Quarter' was flawless and Schaffer really showed the crowd just what he could do behind that crazy synthesizer. And the 'Choose' was to die for. A perfect rendition.

This show has been re-mastered 5 times and has been issued on gold plated CD's for the ultimate sound experience. This one was worth it.

To get the optimal experience from this CD set, we highly suggest going into your local high end audio store, pretending that you are VERY interested in spending $10,000 on a new amp and speakers, show them a fake check for the amount, and then have them let you play the entire show at FULL volume on their best system in the store. Be sure to grab a chair and make them place the speakers about 1 foot from each ear directly.

As always, enjoy...

Madison Square Garden: "Farewell Rumor Shows"

Caffey Held a Band meeting the night before the show that will be released
as an unedited documentary of the band. This meeting was entitled The
Heart OF The Matter. Apparently Caffey "lit" into each member for being
lazy and distracted. At first there was alot of finger pointing and then
everyone seemed to rally and bond. The result was a committment to
excellence and an agreement to move in a more confident and efficent
direction. The Saw promised to start eating vegtables on a regular basis,
Zo promised that he wouldn't eat check mix at the set breaks because Caffey
accused him of falling into carbohydrate comas in the 2nd sets, Southside
promised to start drinking again becuase it was agreed upon that Sobriety
wasn't for him and was having a negativ effect on the band. Rico promised
to listen to more psychedelic music as well as bubble gum pop...Caffey,
well lets just say that he promised to live up to the name Lando....

The Saw Was dressed as Jimi Hendrix From Woodstock, Southside was dressed
in A Los Angeles Laker uniform, , Zo was dressed as Robert Plant from The
Song Remains The Same, Lando was dressed in a red uniform worn by Eddie
Murphy In Bev Hills cop, Rico was dressed as the Comic Book Hero Thoar &
trilok was dressed as Brittnay Spears with an Abe Vigoda Mask On. Schaffer
performed in his "B-DAY SUIT"...

Set1:
Lando: I just want to respond to some rumors. Yes, we are going to break
up. I'm sorry to say it is true. We are going to break up... (Silence)

Rolling Stone Review

Review from Rolling Stone Magazine

This Taste is not Wasted
by Nao Mazzuta
Rarely do so many rumors circulate around a band. In the past month not only has it been widely circulated that Taste The Waste had broken up, but there has been quite a controversy about the alleged death of not just one of the members, but the entire band. Fortunately for us "Wasted Youth", (just in case you have not been initiated, "Wasted Youth" is the slang term given to Taste the Waste's obsessed fans) Taste the Waste is alive and well, and there is no sign of stopping this power house!!! The band recently played at the world famous Madison Square Garden and the Mad House will never be the same.
There was so much anticipation around this show. Most people were convinced that the band was going to announce that this would be the last time. I talked to some fans, who were convinced that this was a tribute to the unfortunate deaths of the band members. When the band took the stage at 9:45 PM the place was about ready to explode from the tension in the air. Caffey wearing his Lando mask and quite possibly his most sexed up outfit to date (red leather w/ tons of zippers, akin to Eddie Murphy's outfit in "RAW") came to the mike and announced that the band was indeed breaking up. A girl next to me started to cry. He turned away from the mike, and started to walk away, but then he turned back and sneered "But Not Anytime Soon!!!!!".... 1 . 2. 3. 4..... Durango 95!!!! the place went berserk!!!
Rarely am I so moved by music. That night at MSG something took over my body I swear I was telepathically communicating with Trilok (in my opinion the best thing to happen to this band in a long time) After Durango 95' they ripped into a version of the Panic Room that literally had me on the verge of real panic!!!! I'm not sure but I think Southside was drinking again. He was playing with such force and such looseness that it could only mean he was back on the sauce. The entire first set was played excellently. They bounced from raw Delta Blues (Reggie Miller Blues), to dark a-tonal music (Don't trust Brad) and later in the set played a touching rendition of "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground" During this they showed a montage of John Ritter on the screens, There was not a dry eye in the house!!!
The second set was no exception, Zo seems to have figured out a way to overcome his typical beginning of the second set slump. He was all over the stage, I don't think I've ever seen him so full of life during a second set before!!!!
The band was truly raging throughout. Rico's voice just seems to keep getting better. I never thought singing Dark Star in a falsetto voice would be appropriate, but Rico's rendition was magical!!! Zo's guitar work on No Quarter was mind bending to say the least, at one point he was playing so fast and hard that blood was flying from his finger tips!!! it was amazing!!!
The Encores were Monumental!!!! Each encore set could have been a show by itself, this show just wouldn't end. The band was having so much fun! The Saw was really shining!!! His theatrics just keep getting better and better, I can't remember the song (please someone help me out) but at one point The Saw crowd surfed around the entire Garden making a chain of bra's as he went. (I don't think I'll ever see so many topless women in my life again Thank you SAW!!!!) It was remarkable, by the time he got back to the stage there was this chain of bra's swirling around the venue!!!!!
My life will never be the same after this show!!!! Thank you Taste the Waste for keeping the Rock n' Roll Torch Alive!!!!
