Bell Five Horizon Hour and Society of Friends Live at Exile on Main Street

Eric McCarthy dug the first Society of Friends in-store gig so much that he had them back. And joining them on the bill was Bell Five Horizon Hour. Bell Five delivered a dose of psychadelic shronk that rattled around in folks' brains for a while. Society then let rip with one of the more vicious sets of their lifetime, jamming on weird rock riffs, playing James Tenney's "Having Never Written a Note for Percussion," performing the old-time favorite "Yoda," and ending it all by turning out all the lights in the store, cranking strobe lights, and letting loose a wall of tremendous feedback. Another triumph for the Society.
