THE RESIDENTS CELEBRATE 40TH ANNIVERSARY
W/THE ULTIMATE BOX SET, 2013 TOUR
The Residents |
Holding up the underground since 1972,
The Residents celebrate four decades of unbridled creativity with “Wonder of Weird,” their 40th Anniversary Tour hitting 20 markets across the US in January – February 2013 (confirmed tour dates are listed below). Having recently come out as
Randy, Chuck and
Bob after remaining anonymous throughout its four-decade run, the group now presents itself in concert as the ultimate offbeat power trio, pared down to guitar, keyboards/laptops and vocals. Snorting with glee and anticipation, the band will re-interpret and devour its classic material like a hungry horse inhaling hay, while still blowing minds at full speed!
To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of The Residents, the Cryptic Corporation is proud to announce the soon-to-be-released Ultimate Box Set (UBS). Packaged in a 28 cubic-foot refrigerator containing releases spanning the group’s entire career, the UBS holds well over 100 different products including 40 vinyl LPs, 50 CDs, and dozens of singles, EPs, DVDs, and CD-roms plus other releases. Thanks to the group’s diligence in archiving their releases over the years, there are no re-pressings in the UBS – each of the products is an original first pressing. Highly collectable items like Santa Dog, The Residents’ debut release, as well as Meet The Residents, Not Available, The Third Reich’n Roll, Eskimo, Freak Show and Wormwood are all included in their original form. In addition to this vast array of music products, each box set will also contain one of The Residents’ signature eyeball-with-top-hat masks.
