TONY CONRAD (b. 1941) is the quintessential cult figure; resident outsider; rebel angel; Tony Conrad's got the kind of immaculate credibility that can't be bought and can't be sold -- and how else, otherwise, could he have persevered? Rumbling under the cultural radar since the Kennedy Era, Conrad is at once first cause and last laugh, a covert operative who can stand as a primary influence over succeeding generations." --(from the Mocad website)

I can't wait!!!

I would tell you if I knew who you were and why you care whether I did or not.

Because I put on the show and I was in the crow's nest the entire time unable to tell who was there. Had I seen you I would have said "Hello". I was just curious. Your post came up when I did a random search for Conrad MOCAd on Google.

Wolf Eyes left me without hearing for a couple of days after the show. The sound was so thick, it was like a dream. Out of body experience, for sure. This show was pretty awesome, although not as glamorous. Actually, the venue was a dump, but hosted some pretty righteous shows. RIP Analog Shock. Cheers.
