Squid Pisser @ Empire Live, 11/2/2024

Emerging onto the stage looking like a decaying mob of squids, stage lights flickering as if a looming doom is about ready to take shape. To subtly add to the horror, the vocalist was wearing a fluffy, pink fur coat… All while everyone was wondering, how in the hell did these squids get on stage?
Squid Pisser compelled and gave the audience no choice but to participate. On more than one occasion, vocalist Tommy Meehan joined the crowd, almost forcing them to become part of the show. Hugging bystanders, displacing garbage cans, and walking right through the mosh pit. All while performing fast, off-tempo cluster bang of orchestrated noise.
Squid Pisser have been out on tour with the legendary Gwar for most of this fall. They stopped in Albany on November 2 at Empire Live to spread their love of spew onto unsuspecting victims. They also have a new album out titled “Dreams of Puke” released on Skin Graft records.
