Halloween...and other fun wacky stuff.

On Oct. 31st, 1996, two years after Ronald R. Rodent promised to Most Holy, smoking section of this band, that ICBC would play on Halloween one day, ICBC played at a house party with Goblingoat. Although the drummer had never played with the members before and there was no time for rehearsal, ICBC pulled off Cheese and cover tune So What! with pinpoint accuracy. The crowd loved it and one individual mentioned that ICBC was better than Goblingoat that night. Of course, this person had a LOT to drink, but dammit we at least UNDERSTOOD a FEW words, including: "guys," "good," and "f#@ing sheep." So somewhere in there was a good review.

 On Oct. 31st, 1997, ICBC members Paul & Vince & Conrad Adams performed in Champaign yet again. This time, though, they headlined Conrad's basement party for a FULL 12 minutes!!!

That night the Viking crew in the above photo sacked and raided every bar in campus, seizing the dancefloor and then running off to raze other bars. The campaign ended at Kam's, a very preppy bar full of very preppy people, but that did not stop Conrad the mighty Viking warrior from winning a whole hell of a lot of money for his inventive costume. Then the night ended at Conrad's place where ICBC took the...basement, and performed the classic soon-to-be-a-top-40-smash hit song "Cheese," along with many other ICBC future hits, such as "Drinkin' Beer On A Country Road," "Stream Of Unconsciousness," "Hi My Name Is Brak," and "In The Ruins of The Mountain King(?)." Then they stopped playing cause the beer had taken its toll on the mighty Viking warriors. So they drank some more. And some more. And some more...

Most recently Vince The Viking Warrior has invited myself and my lovely instruments of destruction to his parents' basement in Charleston, IL. The Gufstufsons are the most gracious of hellraisers. Much beer and loud noise has been consumed and will be related on this page soon.
 

Five years ago in the hallways of Loyola Academy sat two guys, Paul and Buck, and they made hilarious attempts to play bass and guitar. They were bored and thought they should start a band. They called it Regicide and then Paul went to college and met many more people who were interested in joining in but were confused by the ideology and mission of this band. Then Buck went to the same college and they changed the name to InterContinental Ballistic Cheese (thanks to Ian Bennett!) and soon realized that they were going to have a hard time finding people who would understand what this death, punk, rock thing was all about and why they had wasted time writing songs about cheese. Then Paul met Vince and Vince seemed to grasp the idea and soon a new party format was initiated into the band. And Conrad joined in to play drums and more parties ensued and it seemed like someone, someone out there, knew what this was all about. Then Paul had to move to Chicago and soon no one understood anything anymore. It's been five years.
Five Years. And they still write songs about cheese.

 They are now in rooms with padded walls and are having a great time.

 Here's a look at history before the band started:

Stuff soon.

 Coming soon, baby. Give it some time...
