Ben Norton
- video
 |
The man behind the visuals is Ben Norton. He has produced
videos for numerous music,
video, and dance artists all over the world.
Ben handles the complete cycle of video production--shooting
much of the original video, editing the scenes into bite-sized
clips, and finally interweaving these visuals on the fly to the
music of the evening. The results are perfect for the short attention-spanned MTV generation.

seven, and received a BA in Voice Performance and Music
Literature from UCSD, where she also sang with the La Jolla

Tonto Clark
- theramin
 |
Though Doug 'Tonto' Clark plays many instruments, the crowd
favorite is the
theremin.
Besides looking like no
other instrument, the theremin is unique in that it is played
without being touched. Two antennas protrude from the theremin -
one controlling pitch, and the other controlling volume. Because
there is no physical contact with the instrument, playing the
theremin requires precise skill and perfect pitch. |
DJ 20 Meat - turntables
 |
He's one of the baddest mutha&^%*ers of all time. He's one
of the best DJs and best lookin mutha&^%*ers you've ever
seen.Uh, anyway, the tunes you hear between Fuzz sets are
usually coming from this cat's record collection. |
