The history of MK ULTRA and The ELECTRIC HELLFIRE CLUB has been well documented in print and online for 30 years. The poster above I had signed after the first time I saw them life at the EXIT on north Avenue in the early autumn of 1995 and there were so many shows thereafter I can’t count. It seems no venue was too small or too large for them to play. Hell, I’ve even seen them pay a laundromat. <\/p>\n\n\n
