A timeline: It's spring 2004, and the Mae Shi have just learned (via an Instant Message chat with KRS/5RC founder Slim Moon) that their debut full-length Terrorbird will be released on 5RC that summer. To celebrate, the band embarks on a new project - the DVD that would become Lock The Skull, Load The Gun. They ask every visually-minded friend they've made in the past decade to direct a video. The magic begins."Burn My Eye" creator Virgil Porter and On/On Switch head honcho Dan Belyusar bring "Takoma the Dolphin is AWOL" to life using stop motion and a bathtub full of toys. Pat McHale turns "Body 2" into an animated Maurice Sendak-inspired werewolf story. Chris Levitus weaves "One Mississippi" into a live-action futuro-Renaissance fairytale of botched suicide. Somehow, everyone gets on the same page, and a strange hour-long tapestry is woven. There are ballerinas, motorcycle goths, Help!-era Richard Lester goofiness, and lots of monsters - prehistoric birds, vampires, wolfmen, serial killers, haunted bunnies, hungry cartoon dogs and killer bats. There were 33 tracks on Terrorbird and there are 32 videos collected here - quite a feat for a band whose booking agent is a 19-year-old from Dekalb, Illinois. Also included is The Celebration Tour, the feature-length tour movie documenting the Mae Shi's first U.S. tour, when the band booked a 31-date tour by publicly offering to play any celebratory event-be it a birthday party, wedding or bar mitvah-for $100. Davyde Wachell came along to capture it all. Then Wachell and Jamie Flam distilled the 60 hours of footage into an ambitious hybrid of The Power of Salad and Milkshakes and Waterworld. It's got everything your average tour documentary has - wide open roads, empty bars, dishonest promoters and drunken hijinx-but with the added bonus of animated flying monsters, firework accidents and a laugh track.
