The scripted performance brings the music and philosophy of a legendary band whose fifty year old plus members are admired for their principles and uncompromising integrity. During the 30 minute programmed live show, Richard (Dick),
Peter (Shmockolovich) and Pini (Willie) play some of their music, new and old, giving reviews on contemporary pop, and try to explain general popular culture through their unique resistance creative methodology.
