Salem's Lewk Pewk and the Vomit, the musical incarnation of the twisted musings of singer John Krippendorf, rarely played with the same lineup twice. In fact, they boasted never being allowed to play in the same place twice. Their shows were as much performance art as concerts, with Krippendorf mutilating himself and ripping phony entrails from a mannequin on stage. Most famously, they were kicked offstage at Olde Salem Days in 1986. I'm not a music critic,
the head of the event told the Salem Times-Register, but when the arts and crafts people started leaving something had to be done.
Lewk Pewk's lead singer, and only permanent band member, John Krippendorf sings from the floor of the Heebee Gee Bee in 1985.
