Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured in April 1992 in Fort Lauderdale, this live document showcases the project's formative years under the Spooky Kids moniker. The performance highlights a raw, synth-punk influenced iteration of industrial rock characterized by unpolished instrumental energy and early versions of tracks that would later appear on their major-label debut. It provides an essential historical look at the group's transition from local Florida theater-rock to national notoriety.
