Music Style: Lucid Dementia embodies the theatrics and sound of Gwar and Marilyn Manson on acid with the nihilistic political agenda of KMFDM and Nine Inch Nails at a cock fight. It's like watching a bunch of evil Muppets freaking out after 1 too many Frappucinos. Influences: Interesting sounds, powerful guitar riffs, hooks so deep you bleed, drums that really thump, the vocal insanity of a children's puppet show, bass lines that dance and the wonderful horror of living.
Explanation:
"Lucid Dementia" is named after a six foot tall alien-like creature puppet that fronts the band, and who has been leading it in a full frontal assault on audiences since 1996. The legendary Lucid Dementia performance is a cross between a b-movie slasher flick, a David Lynch film, and a children's puppet show gone horribly wrong.* You have to see it to believe it.
*? Lucid Dementia was fascinating; rarely have I found a band so involved with their personal mythology. The set started with a singing, six foot tall, alien puppet, and the bizarrity only continued from there.?

"I don't know quite what I was expecting, but quite frankly, I was blown away!!! This band is great! They're goth, punk and tight as hell. I couldn't stop pounding my feet and bobbing my head. I defy you not to get off!"
