Known for their explosive stage shows, and incendiary lyrics, Seattle's ¡Tchkung! blended guerrilla theater, "tribal" drumming, and punk ethics. Their live performances included multiple drummers, violin, didgeridoo, and electric bass, all played to fire breathers and eaters, people piercing their own bodies and other theatrical scenes. Often compared to Crash Worship, or Crass, the band has been described as "industrial", though "post-industrial" might be more accurate. The band actually became well known for the conclusions of their shows, which ranged from police raids (such as in Eugene, OR) and riots (particularly Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival in 1994[1]), to Molotov Cocktail demonstrations and parades leading into the streets where audience members would be encouraged to participate with 55-gallon drums, and buckets.
The band consisted of Rick Tahoma Wilson (vocals), Grey Filastine (drums), Lazlo Onatop, Devon Cecily (vocals, violin, and drums), J.Sun, and Jason. After the break-up of the band, members (including Wilson and Filastine) went on to form the political marching band Infernal Noise Brigade. As well Grey Filastine currently performs under the moniker Filastine.
