KIND BEAST | Feeling Strange

Tyler Blakslee introduces Thoughts of Ionesco at their sole "reunion" show in 2017. Put to the task the day prior, Tyler wrote the hallucinatory poem "Behemoth Tremendous" on a scroll in one sitting and delivered it with aplomb the following day at TOI took the stage one last time. There has never been a more fitting tribute to the band. Live in DETROIT.  PHOTO: Nathaniel Shannon
