About Me

September 1985 For the annual Bumbershoot festival, the U-Men played at the Mural Amphitheatre (an old World's Fair structure). During the set, singer John Bigley poured a bottle of lighter fluid into the pool, set fire to a broom, and dropped it in the pool. Soundman Tom O'Neill hurried to get his equipment off the stage while cops clubbed people in the audience. Mark Arm called it the greatest show he'd ever seen.
En septembre 1985, pour la festival annuel de Bumbershoot, l'orchestre U-Men a joué au Mural Amphitheatre (une structure agée du World's Fair). Pendant la performance, le chanteur John Bigley a versé une bouteille de gaz à briquet dans la piscine, a mis feu à un balai et l'a jeté dans la piscine. Le chef d'audio, Tom O'Neill s'est empressé de retirer son équipment de la scène pendant que la police a matraqué des gens de la foule. Mark Arm a mentioné que c'était le meilleur spectacle qu'il ait jamais vu.
Septiembre de 1985 para el festival anual de Bumbershoot, los U-Men jugaron en el Mural Amphitheatre (una estructura justa del viejo mundo). Durante el sistema, el cantante John Bigley vertió una botella de un líquido más ligero en la piscina, fijó el fuego a una escoba, y lo cayó en la piscina. Soundman Tom O'Neill se apresuró para conseguir su equipo de la etapa mientras que los polis aporrearon a gente en las audiencias. Mark Arm lo llamó la demostración más grande que él había visto siempre.
