I Heard They Suck LIVE...World Domination
Tour 2001
This page is dedicated to the rich and colorful history of the greatest
band ever. And, yes, I know it's a long load.
The Rusty Zippers officially spawned Thursday, June 14, 2000, when,
one afternoon, Stan suggested that he and Sean put on a concert. Practice
began and the rest is history.
These are photos of Stan and Sean's dorm. The bed on the left was
Stan's, the one by the window, Sean's. To the right, you have a close up
of the counter. Note the Chinese food containers (to the left of the sink)
from our Japan Tour several nights prior to the picture being taken.
Picture of Stan pretending to practice. In the background, you can
see his fantastic blue shoes with the neon green shoelaces.
This photo is of the audience at our first show at MSA, which occurred
Sunday, June 17, 2001, after the evening speaker. Note how only two people
seem to be looking towards the front. Click HERE

Sean and Stan screech out Barbie Girl for the fans at the first
concert.

Shot of the Rusty Zippers in action at their second performance,
Sunday, June 24, 2001, after the evening speaker. Stan and Denis don't
let flashbulbs faze them as they continue to sing like birds. "Come on,
Barbie, let's go party!" they said. Yes, let's go party. No story for this
one, folks, just good wholesome fun.

The concert is nearing conlcusion. Even though the laundry room
was hotter than hot oven, the Rusty Zippers played on and Mickie continued
his assault on the detergent dispenser. Peppy continues to be drenched
with Sean's bodily fluids.

Lingering fans were rewarded with autographs and pictures with the
band. Peppy waits patiently on Sean's guitar strap while Stan attempts
to look thoughtful and Denis, glamorous. On the left, David Storey was
actually doing laundry.

The Rusty Zippers pose for a group photo following their wildly
successful second concert in the laundry room. Mickie can be seen raising
his yo-yo segment while Peppy resides on Stan's guitar strap.

This photo is of the audience attending our third show at MSA, which
occurred Thursday, June 28, 2001, also after the eveing speaker. Some of
you may remember Sean and Stan running back towards Mark Twain as if they
were being pursued by a child molester and shouting, "Rusty Zippers, basement,
now!" Note Leland's pink sunglasses. Click HERE
for a story.
Photo of the whole band in action at the third show in the Piano
Room. Mickie, on the left is jamming on the bass while Sean, in the middle
with a bandana on his forehead, is "breaking it down" on the guitar. Curiously,
Stan has his hand up his shirt.

Here, Denis, Stan, and Manis make it explicitly clear that they
"will survive".

Stan, Friday morning, June 29, 2001, all tuckered out after a long
night of hardcore rustifying. Ladies, check out the cannons. You can check
out his backside HERE.

The Rusty Zippers pose for one final group photo Friday evening,
June 29, 2001. This photo followed an impromptu acapella performance and
frolicking in the sprinklers on the Quad of MU. Once again, Sean avoids
eye contact with the camera.
