The Threee Geniuses:
The Re-Death Of Psychedelia
Rightfully dubbed “The most intentionally psychedelic show on cable TV” (LA Weekly), The Threee Geniuses utilizes no pre-production, no post-production -- just pure unadulterated production. The show is conceived, written, acted, edited, sound-mixed and shot in real-time -- it’s the ultimate televised freak-out free-for-all. Through a major loophole of their patron cable company’s public access policy, the Geniuses have seized the means of production, as the cast becomes the crew and vice versa. The Geniuses are completely unafraid of letting the show glitch-out, descend into octuple exposure or go way beyond the FCC color-spectrum allowances, and at times, the program’s switching is so rapid that it has caused non-epileptics to go into convulsions! Plus, the show’s audio is run through a vintage Revox reel-to-reel machine multiple times to create a nearly infinite tape echo, which one TV critic described as “what one hears when listening to the sound of one hand clapping while shooting up large quantities of superglue.” This best-of program features such superstars as Stangelyne (the late, great transvestite bodybuilder with Tourette’s), public access queen Francine Dancer, Germs drummer Don Bolles, and, of course, the original Threee Geniuses: Dan Kapelovitz, Jon Shere and Tim “Mr. X” Wilson. The revolution has been televised; experience the birth, death, re-birth and, yes, “The Re-Death of Psychedelia."
