I've heard tell that he plays in complete darkness maybe projections but mainly
just a dark abyss kind of feel...and I'm alittle f*cked off that he's not making it
to Vancouver ,the only reason I was going to go to the Pigface show....maybe I
should go down to SF I'd see Mick and Ogre.....that'd be sweet. I kind of picture
Scorn playing *live* like Twilight Circus plays *live*..one guy hopping between
instruments from song to song.
Go see Scorn it'll be the first and last time you'll get to see him in North
America.....I believe.
