One of the first pictures of a very early Horace Monster with Bill in the lower left shot. This was a publicity stunt when the band tried to get arrested by playing on the island of the Lincoln Park Lagoon, Chicago without a permit to play. This was around the time of the Democratic National Convention when the Chicago Police were in the national news. The equiptment was moved in little row boats at sunrise with a generator for power. A huge crowd gathered on the shore as shown in the upper left picture, but to the bands surprise the police were happy to be entertained for a few hours (pictured just to the left of the band name) and nobody was ever arrested. |
