"The Bed Sores" opened up for the "Baked Urinal Cakes" in Chicago on the Foley Cath tour of summer 1998. The band had these antics in order to make a statement about Fast Food restaurants and poor American diets in general long before the "Fast Food Nation" people made all their money. The Baked Urinal Cakes had actual porcelin urinals as part of their stage props. Between the two bands it was the most humorous rock show I've ever been too. Roadies dressed in Nurses uniforms were handing out pamphlets for Viagra that read "Viagra=Just another prolonged buss trip to either Texas or Utah." The lead singer was dubbed "Dr. Jeb" who supposedly hadn't eaten solids since 1988. The band tried to be like Devo, except America was not ready for them, nor would they ever be judging by current searches on Google that bring up zero hits. The bed sores were wheeled out in their beds hooked up to I.V. pump machines and they continued to play their instruments with the heads of the beds raised up. They all appeared to be too weak to play their instruments and a person in a Nurse uniform would regularly come give the musicians fake shots after which they'd start rocking out again. I was standing, rocking out directly in front of the stage when the orderly/roadie came to dump out Dr. Jebs bedpan and I smelled something that made me instantly want to refund my supper, I caught just a glimpse of a turd sliding down the bed pan leaving greasy tracks before plopping rather disturbingly into the 5-gallon bucket. Overall, it was worth the $4 cover charge.
