I figured this was the perfect time to revisit this classic video taken at a Halloween gig 2 years ago with New School University “Super Group” Exoskeleton which features Aaron Dugan on guitar (sevenseventeen, Matisyahu, guitar god in the making) Jason Fraticelli on Bass (Cell theory, L Maestro Presents, Grandfather, and 2/3rds of all other bands out of Philly) Brian Marsella on keys (caveman, beat the donkey, the Flail and my old “super trio’s class with Lee Anne Ledgerwood) and myself on drums. The band name was inspired by the Halloween party scene in “the Karate Kid” where the Cobra Kai kids all had on matching “exoskeleton” costumes when they beat up Daniel son. When we got the opportunity to actually play on Halloween, we decided to make a theme of it and dress in costumes as close as we could find to the ones in the movie and improvise a new soundtrack to the “Karate Kid” while the music was playing in the background.

Warning… This is some pretty weird wild stuff and the sound quality is not the greatest but it is amusing none the less. What we learned from the night is that the “karate Kid is actually kind of a long movie when you try to play continuously throughout. Once the fight scene in the end came up we were pretty much exhausted.

Happy Halloween!!!!
