Nipples were caressed, water was spat and sprinkled, and the four musicians of Les Savy Fav (including silent trooper of a bassist Syd Butler) put on one of the finest, tightest performances this side of the recording studio. After a quick 45 minutes of our crowd shouting along the lyrics to great shit like “Scout's Honor” and “Yawn Yawn Yawn,” the group returned for a half-hour encore, with Harrington dressed as pantless Santa, offering his Christmas services to a timid audience member who sat all too excitedly on his...er...pantless lap.
About five or six giant teddy bears were ripped apart, ass first, and tossed out to us only to get viciously decapitated. This, so each of us could claim a paw, head (or in my case, nose) to take home as a violently earned souvenir. Waves of cotton snow showered over us and created a layer on the floor by show's end. By the time we all left the venue, we were showing off our various bear parts to one another and watching some crazed fan run into the street at a red stoplight to shriek and wave around the head of a bear he'd captured. The next morning, Wilshire was comparably quiet, but some cotton stuffing could still be found as far as a block west of the theater. Les Savy Fav may very well be the sexiest band in the world.






(from the fanfuckingtastic 3/5, released when Harrison Haynes and Andrew Reuland were merely credited as coyote handler and stunt man, respectively)
Also, purchase new record Let's Stay Friends to make up for the thousands who grabbed the leak instead.

nice summary, great shots.
i don't have 3/5 on me to check, but i'm pretty sure the original l.s.f. 2nd guitarist was gibb, not andrew. gibb left after the cat & the cobra.
No, that's right - Andrew wasn't a guitarist until Let's Stay Friends, nor was Harrison their drummer until Cat and the Cobra. But they're both in the credits (under the band listing) as extras, likely just as thanks.
