You have never seen such a sight. And we stand firmly behind that statement. But we wouldn’t want to be standing anywhere behind eXtreme Elvis.

The King has left San Francisco with The Extra Action Marching Band and is touring select cities–cities that apparently really need exposure to a 300-pound excrementally challenged Elvis impersonator and his cohorts.

eXtreme Elvis is notorious for stripping nude, pissing on fans (at least that’s what we translated from his claim of “baptizing fans in his golden nectar”), parading around in a soiled once-was-white jumpsuit and generally pulling off one hell of an energetic stage show. On this occasion, however, eXtreme Elvis is just one half of the experience.

Collaborating with the crass King are approximately 45 performers making up The Extra Action Marching Band. They’re talented musicians and sexy flag twirlers, and based on their performances, the word “torrid” has never been more appropriate. They have a raging drum section and amazing horns to boot, and we’re very sure that someone out there will flash back to high school and realize that the flag corps never had ripped fishnet stockings.

One would think this enough motivation to see this display, but, if not, we’ll just dangle one more little tempting morsel. The collaborative efforts of eXtreme Elvis and The Extra Action Marching Band are focused on one thing: the debut album of Black Sabbath titled N.I.B. At this point, we wish this was a joke, but we’re so damn excited to see the production that we’re glad it isn’t…pretty much…OK, we’re a little scared.

Tonight’s fright is based on two, make that three things. A marching band/Elvis version of N.I.B. scares what already came out of Elvis out of us. The aforementioned golden nectar is repellent in every way. The worst is, we are probably going to really, really enjoy this.
