actually, EAGLE AGER maintains a pretty amazing website

before their performance, all 3 members of EAGLE AGER got into this (really) huge hollow painted cardboard figure that was placed in front of the stage. in fact, some pretty pungent weed smoking seems to have gone on inside, and in fact, for a couple of seconds, I swear this is true, they actually set the cardboard on fire from inside, and I don't think that was an intentional part of the script, .. at any rate, many minutes afterwards, they began to kick their way out. BEN FURGAL 'WICKED WARRIORS' opening night, CAKE SHOP, Dec 28, 2006
