As requested by nathan here's Psycodrama, not much to be found about them, psycodrama seem to be Brett Kerby, Jimbo, Leslie Singer from the band Girls On Fire and sometimes collaborator Costes, a like minded choatic sound manipulator. As for the cassette, it sound like a collage between different style's of music with the ramblings of a lunatic madman, 88 minutes of chaos and abuse. Released as a cassette on Audiofiles Tapes (aT 30) in 1987, and was given free with the 2 cassette compilation Here The Roar Of The Mountains.
Tracks :
1. Side A
2. Side B

enjoy.

Hi Cranio, doc kwan here, but I guess I'm anonymous now. Carl Howard, Mr Audiofile Tapes himself, also sent me a copy of this along with Hear The ROAR of the Mountains double cassette. He described it succinctly as "this is what can happen when you eat your parents"! Well put I might add....
aaaahhh, now there's a classic DC-area legend. The sub-homemade recording quality suggests Rob Lippert wasn't involved with this one.
There's a few legendary tales of (attempted) Psychodrama performances at small clubs around the city in the '80s... Kirby (aka jesus christ) with his goat-copulation films, etc. It was a wonderful time to be alive.
yep doc kwan that might be an exact discribtion of the tape.
thanks.

hi IntangibleArts,
well i know of a VHS tape from Costes with Brett Kerby on it "The Last Mass" from 1989 recorded live in Paris . Brett Kerby is a priest,Lisa Suckdog a choir child and Costes the devil disguised in an old devote. The priest wants to drink, the choir child wants to fuck and the devil likes it...
Still availible here :

and oh have you had any luck converting that Lippert video to your PC ?
my friend's high school band opened for these guys in D.C. in 1983 and apparently the lead singer performed naked with a ketchup bottle inserted in up his ass and went around the audience "serving" them razorblades on a platter.
Ha ha! These guys are legendary for their pumped-up psychotic hillbilly schtick. The best and most hilarious descriptions of their antics can be found in the collected Roller Derby magazine by Costes' ex-wife Lisa Carver (later Boyd Rice's ex-wife).
Cranio:
Alas, the conversion does not function!
Actually, I don't have the means at home to digitize VHS, although god, that would be nice. I must find out how this is done. Too much good material is rotting on those tapes.
Choice line from Lippert's show:
"WHAT WE NEED IS.....MORE.... DRUNK... DRIVERS"
This should be an interesting listen. I have one song ("Jesus Died For Your Sins")by Psychodrama on an old Sound of Pig comp called "Ha Ha Among the Trumpets." I remember Kerby's name popping up in various cassette culture mags (e.g. Sound Choice), and there was a lot of speculation as to whether he was truly racist, or just satirizing racism. We shall see, we shall see.
