Some bands want you to feel the music.

Others want you to sign a waiver.

In The Show Must Go Wrong, Charles and Lisa dive headfirst into the beautiful disaster zone of live music where safety is optional, chaos is guaranteed, and the stage is just another weapon.

Charles breaks down the legacy of Hanatarash, the most dangerous live band ever—where bulldozers, power tools, and flying debris were just part of the set list. No encores. No refunds. Possibly no walls left standing.

Lisa counters with her own firsthand trauma—seeing Genitorturers live—a show that blurred the line between concert, endurance test, and something you’re pretty sure violated at least three city ordinances.

This episode is about bands that didn’t just push boundaries…

They sprinted past them, lit them on fire, and asked the crowd to stand closer.
If you’ve ever thought, “This show could kill me,”

Congratulations—you’re the target audience.

Jackalope Tales — where the music is loud, the stories are darker, and the show always goes wrong. [Ep 125]
