Oneida + Mike Watt - "Tusko" Cat # JNR470

7" Lathe-Cut, limited to 150 copies

At the climas of an epic period of production and legendary marathon-length public improvisation, Oneida performed a "10 to 12 hour" length set remembered as "The Ocropolis" at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival "Nightmare Before Christmas in 2010. The fragment of that moment in NYC survives: and it shreds. Peformed live onstage hours deep into this nonstop collaborative set, Mike Watt takes the stage on crutches, someone passes a bass over, and he throws the crutches into the audience and proceeds to rip into the heart of the groove. The result: pachydermice rampage.
