Vic Thrill are two Williamsburg wieners who are entirely too old to act this ridiculous: one on guitar, the other punching up the beats on his obviously recently acquired laptop while attempting to rock out and whip around the clunky silver monstrosity wrapped around his neck. It was your worst nightmare of They Might Be Giants rockier older brothers, with none of the musicianship, mastery of melody, or absurdist wit. Oh, Vic Thrill are absurd all right, but they themselves don't even know the half of it. Nobody booed, instead someone let off a post-Halloween stink bomb that spoke volumes.
