Marijuana Deathsquads are comprised of multiple drummers, a slew of electronic instruments, and highly effected vocals, their live shows are a violent onslaught of improvised electronic-hardcore. They began as a side-project of Building Better Bombs, which is why all members of BBB are also in Marijuana Deathsquads. Their live shows, as well as studio recordings, feature multiple colaborations with a ton of outsourced musicians. This results in a constantly evolving experience, teeming with spontaneity and surprise.

They are currently out in Los Angeles doing a residency at Spaceland every Friday night in February, along with Har Mar Superstar, and a bunch of other great acts. In the meantime there are a TON of archived live shows recorded at their 2010 residency at Nick & Eddie in Minneapolis, by the excellent show taper Empty's Tapes.
