MONSTER MAGNET's Cleveland Show Turns Into 'Unorganized Karaoke Session'

September 17, 2004

MONSTER MAGNET frontman Dave Wyndorf lost his voice prior to the group's scheduled performance at Peabody's in Cleveland Thursday night (Sept. 16). According to a BLABBERMOUTH.NET source at the show, "the band opened their set with a 20-minute version of the instrumental 'Tab...'. Dave played guitar with his back to the crowd through the whole song. After the song ended, it was announced on stage by one of Dave's bandmates that Dave would be unable to sing tonight under doctor's orders due to problems with his throat. The lead singer from Cleveland band RED GIANT (www.redgiant.net),Alex, filled in on vocals for the next 6 songs. RED GIANT were one of the local bands sharing the bill. Alex did a good job of keeping the crowd entertained and actually sounded very good job singing the songs, especially on such short notice. Unfortunately, Alex relinquished his microphone for the final two songs of the set and the band invited crowd members to come up on stage and sing. The ending of the show turned into a giant, unorganized MONSTER MAGNET 'karaoke' session, with multiple people on stage stumbling their way through 'Powertrip' and 'Space Lord'. Dancing female audience members also jumped up to adorn the stage and dance with Dave. The crowd was definitely not amused and voiced their displeasure as the show came to an abrupt end. Boos and the chants of 'refund, refund' filled the club." The set list for the show was as follows:

01. Tab...
02. Tractor
03. Medicine
04. Nod Scene
05. Snake Dance
06. Evil (Is Going On)
07. Spine Of God
08. Powertrip
09. Space Lord

MONSTER MAGNET are scheduled to perform at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City Friday night (Sept. 17).
