Fuckface, Eric Lunde, IfIHadAHiFi, Decapitado, and Vocokesh at Miramar Theatre
It’s hard to imagine a band as scary, weird, and enthralling as Fuckface existing in Milwaukee in 2010. An assemblage of malcontents from legendary Brew City bands like Die Kreuzen, Boy Dirt Car, and The Crusties (including current Decapitado/Put Her In The Trunk bassist/screamer Dan Kubinski and drummer Erik Tunison), Fuckface pounded skulls via a crushing ensemble of guitars, bass, three drummers (no snares or cymbals allowed), and “metal percussionist” Karl Paloucek, who sent sparks flying into the audience from his grinder. The result was a primal juggernaut that, at the time, may have sounded analogous to Ministry’s industrial rock, but owed far more to the band’s own pedigree and its Midwestern “pigfuck” contemporaries Cows and Killdozer. The band has reunited for a handful of shows after releasing its long-delayed debut earlier this year.
