WOOKIEFOOT

LOL wow

Sweet jesus. LOL i used to be in a band like this. A dozen members, all dressed in zany clothes, fire dancers & hula hoopers performing during songs. We sounded like orchestral anti-folk/indie rock.

Haven't listened to this tho, my laptop's audio is dead. Can anyone describe what it sounds like?

I think you just did.

possibly, he was definitely a player in the rainbow family scene. i don't know if i remember Dress - not the long bearded ex-journalist dress-wearing old dude who lives around berkeley campus and was unofficial king of the campus garbage can drum circle? this was way back when, i was there 95-01.

Holy crap, I've seen this guy (or one of these guys) on television - he's one of the principals of the Oakland pot dispensary that was featured on Weed Wars which inadvertently became one of the greatest reality shows ever.

This guy...

I had friend come back from Harvestfest one year and he was literally unable to stop smiling, turns out that the phrase "open air drug market" wasn't an exaggeration. He said he and his friends dumped coke, molly and speed into a bag and took rips out of it. Didn't sleep for 3 days.

Wookiefoot were playing that year.

They used to open up for shitty nu-metal bands all over southern Wisconsin.

Check out the line up this year: jam bands, dubstep and Green Velvet.

I mean, come on

it's like everything terrible about Sky Cries Mary in concentrated form

Aw man, I still like bits of SCM's stuff, which never contained that wack rapping.

Not to say that I don't see the comparison, though...

I'm (one of) the board's biggest This Timeless Turning booster(s), fyi

Morbid curiosity, my enduring love of Johnny Cash and the total ridiculousness of this band are all battling my link-clicking finger right now.

It's terrible but probably the least egregious of the videos posted thus far.

Feel like this wouldn't be entertaining at all if the name was not "Wookiefoot".

There's a band in Atlanta called Groove Stain, which is probably the worst name ever, even worse than Wookiefoot. Maybe they can get some ironic love too.

This is def not ironic love from me, just bemused eyeroll. Like, I sorta get the entertainment value of this carnival/bacchanal with 20 people on stage, and snake-dancing women and giant puppets or whatever. But the music is so massively not my thing that I can't even assess it.

omg Groove Stain is a seriously terrible, terrible band name.

the guy in this band who is somehow* in my facebook feed has painted his face again, which led me to this video. the person painting onstage is alex grey. the jew's harp player had a heart attack on stage this past april, but fortunately he has recovered.

*a bunch of my old friends are part of their circle and I mistook him for a different guy that I actually knew when he friend-requested me.

wait so this band actually EXISTS?!?

so real

Welcome festi-family to another bliss weekend at Harmony Park. This is the most magical fairy forest in all the land !! The Harmony playground is on a lake with giant oak elders providing shade and shelter for the whole campground. This sacred site has been a place for the live music community to gather and befriend one another around campfires and under majestic stars. Shangri-la is our last summer shindig and we come to play with each other one last time before winter….. come play with us !!

The size of Harmony Park allows for individuals to share their magic and make a big impact on the whole…. It was here that Wookiefoot got its first oppurtunity to “Make Believe” with the crowd. The overwhelming joy created sparked a Nationwide tour bringing Fairys, Fire, Drumming,and Prankstering to festivals all over….now with our own event we can now pull off anything and everything imaginable. We’ve had as many as 300 performers…. from Fire rituals, Free healing arts center, Arial dancing, Native American traditional drumming and chanting, A marching band, Alice in wonderland tea party, Parades, Spiral dancing, Labrinth work shop, 3D black light painting station …..and …on…and….on. We are asking you to bring your magic and share your gifts with the family !! The vision of everyone bringing something of personal meaning and value to give to a brother from another mother or a sister from another mister is HIGH HIGH !! What’s your gift ?!??!?…Drumming, dancing, singing, food, message, bubbles, hugs, stones, crystals, jokes, jewelry, fairy wings, stickers, costumes…. whatchu got ?!?!

The vision of everyone bringing something of personal meaning and value to give to a brother from another mother or a sister from another mister is HIGH HIGH !!

should poll this:

What’s your gift ?!??!?…Drumming, dancing, singing, food, message, bubbles, hugs, stones, crystals, jokes, jewelry, fairy wings, stickers, costumes…. whatchu got ?!?!

put me down for "whatchu got ?!?!"

I'm completely down with all of those things though, just not in the context of this music.

overexposure to this shit would turn me into a person who would make Ted Nugent look like Jane Fonda.

you need to relax and let the power of the jew's harp take control

eisbaer please report to the Free healing arts center

i always think this is the band w/joe satriani in it

What the shit is this? I am horrifyingly embarrassed for all those people.

This modern day jam band / Wookiefoot scene needs its very own Charles Manson figure to make it more interesting

^^^^^

one time my friends and i went to a best of the twin cities show at first avenue and one of the bands playing was this awful 12 person jam band fire-twirling and acrobatic nightmare named Wookiefoot and as they played a cover of "Scarlet Begonias" my friend mike started loudly and drunkenly bitching about the horror and a hippie near us retaliated by dumping an entire vial of patchouli on jeff and we all had to share a cab ride home in the winter with all the windows rolled up.

and thats what i think about the Greatful Dead.

What’s your gift ?!??!?…Drumming, dancing, singing, charismatically manipulating gullible people into murdering in your name …. whatchu got ?!?!

My gift is a working knowledge of punctuation. There is clearly no place for me at Harmony Park.

Alice in wonderland tea party

I seriously love that Wookiefoot exists.

Kind of in the same way that I am glad that the candiru fish exists.

That said, I don't want either to swim up my urethra

i can survive in a world in which Wookiefoot (& their fans) exist. then again, i can survive screaming babies on cross-country air flights where i can't smoke & have forgotten to bring along a pack or two of Nicotine gum.

extended exposure to both, though, and i'll turn into this:
