"The evening’s opener was about as whacky as you can get. In typical Sludge fashion there is always something odd in store. Heavy Metal Happy Hour is a great solo vocalist who plays piano like Liberace’s bastard nephew! All this painted in ICP meets KISS meets The Crow style make-up while a couple of hot female contortionists dance, bend, almost break and expose the majority of their bodies. The best part is probably the girls, but the fact that you’re hearing near lounge versions of Guns n’ Roses, Van Halen, Black Sabbath and just about every Metal band on the planet sung in a clear voice backed only by piano is very interesting. Very whacky, but cool whacky, and really well done whacky. You have to see this performance to appreciate it."
