They got friendly with the English guitarist Snakefinger, who introduced them to their future mentor N. Sanada. Senada quickly exerted a strong influence on the group, especially through the development of \u2018The Theory Of Obscurity\u2019. This theory can be sum- med up as one idea from which all the others flow: the one that artists do their best work in the shade, without the influence of any audience. \u201d Pac\u00f4me Thiellement<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 1971, The Residents performed on open mic night at a club called \u00abThe Boarding House\u00bb. They performed alongside Phillip \u00abSnakefinger\u00bb Lithman, Bavarain Experimentalist N. Senada, and night club singer Peggy Honeydew. The full show was released 20 years later on the UWEB compilation \u00abDaydream B-Liver\u00bb. The shots are rushes from \u2018It\u2019s A Man\u2019s Worls\u2019, from the album George &amp; James Brown (1984).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ralph Records &amp; Pore-Know Graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ralph Records was the Residents\u2019 original record label, originally founded to release Santa Dog. The name is coming from the slang phrase for vomiting, \u00abcalling Ralph on the porcelain telephone\u00bb.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Georges and James in the pore-know graphics\u2019 gallery (1984) \/ George Gershwin (1898-1937) and James Brown (1933-2006).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Man In The Dark Sedan, Snakefinger (1980)<\/strong> &#8211; Directed by Graeme Whifler, produced by The Residents &amp; Snakefinger, Ralph Records<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m the man in the dark sedan \/ I have come to take your hand<br \/>\nI was sent down here to be sincere \/ Truthful and steadfast \/ I came to say that judgement day \/ Of man has come to pass<br \/>\nI\u2019m the man in the dark sedan \/ I have come to take your hand<br \/>\nYou can follow me \/ I guarantee to take you far away \/ We must leave before the eve \/ Of everlasting gray<br \/>\nI\u2019m the man in the dark sedan \/ I have come to take your hand<br \/>\nYou will leave this place and soon replace \/ The names of those you know \/ With a brotherhood that has withstood \/ The leeches and the snow<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats (1972 &#8211; 1984 &#8211; &#8230;)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1984, The Residents discovered that video technologies had really advanced to the point where they could save their old 1\/2\u2019\u2019 Vileness Fat movie and transfer it to VHS. They created a half-hour video from the fourteen hours of rushes, the result is called \u00abWhatever Happened To Vileness Fats\u00bb.<br \/>\nEven before they made Santa Dog, The Residents began work on an incredibly ambitious project: a full-length film called Vileness Fats. The group had just moved into a studio at 20 Sycamore Street, which had a completely open ground floor- just perfect, it seemed, for a sound stage. The Residents felt that film would be the ideal medium for the ideas which had been knocking around in their heads and jumped in with both feet. They were made of cardboard and the space limitations meant that each set had to be completely dismantled before the next one could be built. This, of course, affected the filming schedule and sometimes even the developing plot. By 1976, The Residents had fourteen hours of video filmed and were not even two-thirds of the way through what they had of the incomplete script.Finally, shortly after they released The Third Reich \u2018N\u2019 Roll, The Residents abandoned Vileness Fats. Not ones to let even failed projects go to waste, they proceeded to tease the outside world with stills from the film, incorporating the mysterious film that never was into their mythology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>third floor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the start of their career, The Residents wanted to create a completely different faceless image or disguise for each new project. As the time drew near for the release of Eskimo, an album that they had worked on for four years, they felt that the band\u2019s image had to be something special- as much unlike the punk fashion of 1979 as the album\u2019s music. From the band\u2019s perspective, the primary message of Eskimo was reflection, presenting humanity to itself as seen through a funhouse mirror. Finally, after much thought, the image they chose for this twisted mirror was not just an eyeball but one wearing a top hat, a formal touche to the fashionable trash aesthetic of that era.<br \/>\nThe Freak Show (1995), at Praha \/ Directors: The Residents &#8211; Video: Vaclav Kucera &#8211; Stars: Laurie Amat, Wayne Doba, Vladim\u00edr Gut<\/p>\n<p>This was an unusual project for The Residents. The stage show itself did not involve the group as performers. The band hired the leader of the Czech band Uz Jsme Doma (\u00abWe\u2019re Finally Home\u00bb) to direct the orchestra while seven actors, singers, and dancers performed on stage under the direction of The Residents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PORE KNOW GRAPHICS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Playfully recast in various iterations, Poor Know\/Poor?
