There is a monthly artist showcase in my city. All sorts come out; acting troupes plugging their plays, contortionists, karaoke singers, improv groups, puppeteers, all kinds of neat things. My friend and I had a noise band. We played there 3 times. After the first time, we were only allowed back because the guy who organized it thought we were hilarious.
The third time we brought a bunch of strange things to use in our set: jars filled with shells, homemade tambourines, toy guns, and aluminum cans. We got a bunch of audience on stage to do sort of a "noise drum circle" thing. So we start barking at everyone to play faster and faster. By the end everyone was literally breaking **** on stage. The guy running it had to call an intermission after the set. He made my friend and I clean up, and the offenders didn't help a bit. They all "had to go" and just disappeared until the next act came on stage. The guy running it wasn't impressed and basically said that we weren't welcome back.
