BACKGROUND:
Firesign Theatre, the legendary and still revolutionary satirical comedy
troupe, earned a Grammy nomination in early '99 for Give Me Immortality
Or Give Me Death, the first album of all new material featuring the
original foursome in more than 15 years. That October, the reinvigorated
lunatics (PHIL AUSTIN, PETER BERGMAN, DAVID OSSMAN, and PHIL PROCTOR)
followed up their triumphant return with the all-new BOOM DOT BUST
album, a hilarious send-up of small-town America. The outrageous new
characters (the Bills, Elmers, No-Neckers, and other inbred locals from
Billville and Elmertown) live a lot closer to home than you think. With
its dead-on social satire, topical humor, original music, sound effects,
and lots more, BOOM DOT BUST has joined its Firesign predecessors as an
American comedy classic. Now the DVD Audio version packs the entire
album and lots of new content, creating a truly outrageous multi-media
experience.
