After a stop by the Secret Lab for more monitors, we were up and rocking. The small crowd was nonetheless appreciative. 100th Lecture - "A COG-work Elvis" Friday, September 19th, 2008 - One Eyed Jacks, New Orleans LA With: Clockwork Elvis Pictures by Jeannine Flores, Amy Enayrt, HD video by Arvid Cristina and Burgin Sundh Songs: I Think Therefore I Rock / Bow 2 Me / It's Morally Wrong / Lab Coat / Science Fight / Blinded By Science / Why Do We Do It / Free Bird / Born in the South / Do the Creep / M.I.L.K. / I Scream / Funky Fresh / LoBoToMy/ Too Many Atoms / Green Slime / Stonehenge / Science Party / Just a Drumbot C.O.G. celebrated their 100th Lecture by bringing the Time Door out of storage, in a scheme to wreck rock and roll history by substituting Elvis Presley for a future criminal... but Watson and Holmes the 5th were on the case! Great night with a great opening act and burlesque show in between bands. Lab Girl Trixie's New Orleans debut! 99th Lecture Saturday, July 19th, 2008 - Babelcon 2008, Baton Rouge LA Pictures by Amy Enyart, Kris Overstreet, Set 1: Dance or Die 2K2 / Green Slime / The Creep / Why Do We Do It / So Confuse / All I Wanna Do Is You / It's Morally Wrong / Lab Coat / Bucket Of Blood / March of the Skaletons / Reach Out and Touch the Hand / Funky Fresh / Placebo! / Blinded By Science / Doctor Who / Just A Drumbot Set 2: I Think Therefore I Rock / Science Fight / M.I.L.K. / Born In the South / Black Plague / Lo bo to my / Die Barney Die / Too Many Atoms / Bow 2 Me C.O.G. rocked a small but passionate audience at BabelCon, making lots of new fans. This marked our first show with Lab Girl Trixie, and the longest show C.O.G. has ever staged! There was much BOWing and scraping at the end. The Orion Slave Girls appearing just in time for 'Funky Fresh' and the appearance of pirates just in time for 'Bucket of Blood' were unexpected lagniappe! 98th Lecture Saturday, March 15th, 2008 - The MVC, Westwego LA Pictures by Jeannine Flores, Songs: Bow 2 Me / Science Fight / Born in the South / M.I.L.K. / March of the Skaletons / Bucket o' Blood / Placebo / LoBoToMy / Black Plague / I Scream An all-ages show at a strange outdoor venue.

C.O.G. TV premiere - 'Rock City Morgus' - Cox 10 March 7, 2008, 8PM Special Appearance Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 WWL-TV, Channel 4 Morning News Songs: Science Fight (partial) / March of the Skaletons (partial) / Reach Out and Touch the Hand (partial) / Lab Coat To the shock and dismay of the Channel 4 morning news team, the Consortium of Genius returned to take over the newsroom, broadcast their demands on live television, and attempt to reinstall the brain of WWL's local anchor, Eric Paulsen! 96th Lecture - Friday, October 28st, 2007 The House of Shock, New Orleans LA Pictures by Brandon Brunious, Songs: (set 1) Bow 2 Me / Death to the Angel of Death / Holy Diver / Black Plague / Born in the South / The Creep / I Scream (set 2) Bucket of Blood / No More Mr. Nice Guy / Funky Fresh / M.I.L.K. / LoBoToMy / Die Barney Die For our last great night at House of Shock 2007, we took the opportunity to razz 'Fall Out Boy' and Ashlee Simpson, who were making their way through the haunted house as part of a radio contest, announcing that they had become impaled in the House of Shock, had contracted the Black Plague, etc. A fitting end to a great season. 95th Lecture - Friday, October 26st, 2007 Fear Fest, New Orleans LA Pictures by Jeannine Flores & Gary, HD Video by Jeannine Flores and Joe Vance Songs: I Have the Power, It's Morally Wrong, Lab Coat, All I Wanna Do Is You, Born In the South, M.I.L.K., I Scream, Die Barney Die, Reach Out and Touch the Hand, Placebo!, Science Fight, Lo Bo To My, Bow 2 Me, Science Party C.O.G. opens Fear Fest '07 with a bang and stages another 'Scientific American Idol' competition to find a fresh BRAIN for Dr. Pinkerton!

The winner - Dr. Wilhelm Shatler! 94th Lecture - Sunday, October 21st, 2007 The House of Shock, New Orleans LA Pictures by Jeannine Flores Songs: Bow 2 Me / War Pigs / Death to the Angel of Death / Holy Diver / Black Plague / Stonehenge / March of the Skaletons / Born in the South / M.I.L.K.

The name of the place should have tipped us off... despite the enthusiasm of Carlos, the owner of Club Phoenix, the patrons were there for the D.J., NOT for the live band (gee, we should have brought the Brain Being with us!) The D.J. even aborted our show early. No worries, though; what this lecture lacked in logic it made up for in profitability! Thank heaven for small miracles... 91st Lecture - May 11th, 2007 - The Howlin' Wolf, New Orleans LA With: Mad Mike Pictures by Jeannine Flores Songs: I Have the Power / It's Morally Wrong (feat.

Dr. Ivan Beatniknikopfh) / Science Fight / LoBoToMy / Bow 2 Me / Funky Fresh / Science Party Under the guise of a 'Scientific American Idol' contest, Dr. Pinkerton scopes out a replacement... or is he actually shopping for a fresh body to inhabit? Great performances by our special guest contestants! Competitors: Dr. Ivan Stroganoff, Dr. Wilhelm Shatler, Dr. Otis Mathdeekus, Dr. Jezebel Erlenmeyer, and Dr. Richard Beatniknikopf. The winner - Dr. Jezebel Erlenmeyer! C.O.G.

As usual, the C.O.G. confuse the hell out of a mostly mundane audience! Big ups to the other comedy bands that played that night, and condolences to We're Only In It For the Honey, who got cheated out of performing... 87th - 89th Lectures - Sunday nights, October 22nd, 29th and 31st, 2006 The House of Shock, New Orleans LA Pictures by Brandon Brunious Songs: SET 'A' - Bow 2 Me / I Don't Know / I Scream / Because It's Midnight / M.I.L.K. / Lo Bo To My / Now You're a Man / Die Barney Die SET 'B' - Bow 2 Me / War Pigs / Death to the Angel of Death / Holy Diver / Black Plague / Stonehenge / March of the Skeletons / No More Mr. Nice Guy / Bucket o' Blood C.O.G. returns to rock the House of Shock again, with new covers courtesy of Dr. A Rachnid. A blast, despite the routine equipment casualties! Halloween night was esp. memorable... Phil Anselmo was seen rocking to 'Die Barney Die' and Dr. A Pentatonic made a surprise appearance! 86th Lecture - "C.O.G. 10th Anniversary Conflagration" (repeat) September 2nd, 2006 - Dragon*Con 2006, Atlanta, GA With: The Great Luke Ski Pictures by Jeannine Songs: Bow 2 Me / Lo bo to my / So Confuse / Death to the Angel of Death / March of the Skaletons / Stonehenge / It's Morally Wrong / I Scream / M.I.L.K. / Science Fight / Die Barney Die / Placebo / Brain Wrap Wow, our second Dragon*Con performance! Always a blast - albeit a tiring one, we had lots of technical glitches and started late due to the usual con time slippage, but on the whole it was quite worthwhile. We rocked a bunch of newbies and made a lot of friends. 85th Lecture - "C.O.G. 10th Anniversary Conflagration" (repeat) July 3rd, 2006 - The Big Top, New Orleans, LA With: Love Zombie Pictures by Jeannine Songs: Bow 2 Me / Lo bo to my / So Confuse / Death to the Angel of Death / March of the Skaletons / Stonehenge / It's Morally Wrong / I Scream / M.I.L.K. / Science Fight / Die Barney Die / Placebo / Funky Fresh / Science Party A much lower pressure night than the previous Saturday, we repeated the 10th Anniversary show for a VERY appreciative all-ages crowd. This exhilarating show really felt good (if a bit hot!), and we saw many old fans and made new friends as well! C.O.G. TV premiere - 'A Strange Case of Horn Zombies' - Cox 10 July 2, 2006 8PM 84th Lecture - "C.O.G. 10th Anniversary Conflagration" July 1st, 2006 - The Howlin' Wolf, New Orleans, LA With: Love Zombie 3 camera HD video Songs: I Have the Power / Bow 2 Me / Lo bo to my / So Confuse / Death to the Angel of Death / March of the Skaletons / Stonehenge / It's Morally Wrong / I Scream / M.I.L.K. / Science Fight / Die Barney Die Dr. Pinkerton dispatches former members of the C.O.G. with Deth Lazer cannons to the four corners of the Earth, in order to split the world in twain! The experiment is a success, but the unspeakable horror at the center of the world proves too dangerous for even the C.O.G.! We must have been insane to attempt to stage both our 10th Anniversary Show and shoot critical parts of our 2nd TV episode all in the same night! We pulled it off, mind you - but a mountain of setbacks and dollops of bad luck pushed the night way into the wee hours. However, we persisted, and the 90% of the crowd that hung with us to the end proved quite appreciative! Special Appearance Thursday, February 2nd, 2006 Timecode NOLA Song: Placebo! To the shock and dismay of local filmmakers, the Consortium of Genius proceeds to take over Timecode NOLA, demanding the cessation of local film and music making... until Filbert accidentally blows up the lab. Again. This appearance was taped to pre-promote our upcoming TV series... C.O.G. TV Pilot principal shoot August 21, 2005 83rd Lecture - "FrankenCOG" August 13, 2005 - Chalmette Cinema, Chalmette, LA With: Road Agents 1 camera fixed video, pictures by Jeannine Flores Songs: I Have the Power / Bow 2 Me / LoBoToMy / Brain Rewrapped / Android Woman / M.I.L.K. / I Scream / Placebo! / Science Party / Science Fight Dr. Pinkerton is shocked to find out that both Dr. Z and Dr. A Rachnid have each been developing their own version of THE CREATURE, Pinkerton's latest scheme for Taking Over The World. Having only one brain to use for activating the creature leads to some infighting over which version will be activated... Wonderful show in front of an enthusiastic crowd of Rocky Horror devotees. Even better, it was a reunion of sorts with the crew that used to run Movie Pitchers, another all-ages-friendly movie theatre where we played in the early days. 82nd Lecture - "Do We Have the Power" May 7th, 2005 - The Howlin' Wolf, New Orleans LA With: Egg Yolk Jubilee 4 camera video Songs: I Have the Power / Why Do We Do It / It's Morally Wrong / March of the Skaletons / Bucket Of Blood / LoBoToMy / M.I.L.K. / Brain Rewrapped / Funky Fresh / Science Party / Death to the Angel of Death / Bow 2 Me Pinkerton attempts to hypnotize the entire world with his new invention, the Hypnotron. Lacking sufficient Power to do so, he gives Dr. A. Rachnid and Dr. Z a chance to hypnotize the world THEIR way. Dr. A Rachnid uses Kandarian Black Magic to summon the Horn Zombies, which eventually have to be dispelled due to their constant hunger for BRAINS and BLOOD. Dr. Z attempts to utilize mideast mysticism on the crowd, but it only seems to affect the women! In the end Dr. Pinkerton manages to procure sufficient Power - too much in fact; for shortly after hypnotizing the entire world to Bow to the C.O.G., his head explodes. 'Morally Wrong', 'March of the Skaletons', and 'Bucket of Blood' performed with the horns of Egg Yolk Jubilee. Sound-man Willis' last show at the 'Wolf. And possibly ours too. 81st Lecture - "Is There A Doctor in the House" March 1st, 2005 - TwiRopa, New Orleans LA With: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum video by Buddy and Marie Songs: Placebo! / Death to the Angel of Death / M.I.L.K. / Android Woman / March of the Skaletons / It’s Morally Wrong / LoBoToMy / Brain Wrap / Why Do We Do It / Bow 2 Me / I Scream / Funky Fresh / 2112 Overture / Science Party The C.O.G, suddenly lacking a guitarist, interviews several six-stringed scientists, each killed off by his predecessor! In the end, Dr. Harry A. Rachnid wins the (dubious?) honor of becoming the C.O.G.'s new guitarist. 80th Lecture - "The Empire Strikes C.O.G." January 22nd, 2005 - One Eyed Jacks, New Orleans LA With: The Fantastic Ooze three-camera video shot by New Orleans After Midnight crew Songs: Bow 2 Me / M.I.L.K. / It's Morally Wrong / Why Do We Do It / Death to the Angel of Death / LoBoToMy / Placebo! / Destroy Old Things / Android Woman / Reach Out and Touch the Hand / Funky Fresh / Science Party At the command of the Evil Emperor, Darth Inscrutable disposes of Dr. A and infiltrates the C.O.G. to steal The Time Door, leading to a fierce guitar-sabre battle! 79th Lecture - "The Empire Strikes C.O.G."

By Robots Songs: M.I.L.K. / It's Morally Wrong / Reach Out and Touch the Hand / Why Do We Do It / Black Plague / Death to the Angel of Death / Just A Drumbot / Bow 2 Me Rocking the small stage upstairs from the House of Blues, the C.O.G. re-enacted the 'Trial of Dr. Pinkerton' for an enthusiastic, if a bit confused, (mostly) fresh audience! Dr. A's last show. 77th Lecture - "Terrorvision" November 13th, 2004 - The Howlin' Wolf, New Orleans LA With: Ugorji photos by John King Video by Paul Tassen Songs: I Have the Power / March of the Skaletons / Reach Out and Touch the Hand / M.I.L.K. / It's Morally Wrong / LoBoToMy / Brain Wrap / Why Do We Do It / Death to the Angel of Death / Placebo / Twilight Zone / Bucket of Blood / Funky Fresh / Science Party / Because It's Midnight / (encore) Bow 2 Me The Release Party for the C.O.G.'s new CD, 'In C.O.G. We Trust'. Lots of new faces, unfortunately, a difficult show to attend because of lack of parking. Great performance by the C.O.G., captured on video for future release... Special Appearance Tuesday, November 9th, 2004 WWL-TV, Channel 4 Morning News Songs: Placebo! / M.I.L.K. (partial) / LoboToMy To the shock and dismay of the Channel 4 morning news team, the Consortium of Genius proceeded to take over the newsroom, broadcast their demands on live television, and LoBoToMize their local anchor, Eric Paulsen!

The C.O.G. fight back by becoming Busters of Ghosts, and vacuum up the offending entities - until accidentally crossed proton streams cause the robot prototype to transform into Poppin Fresh, who squishes poor Dr. Pinkerton! This lecture was special in several ways - including our first onstage collaboration with Beth Patterson and Damien Youth on the encore, the first onstage appearance of Filthy the Skeleton, and a cameo appearance (following a three year absense) by none other than Filbert Snodgrass! 63rd Lecture - "C.O.G. vs. the Giant Robot" Friday night, September 19th 2003 - C.O.G.
