Feederz, Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss

The Feederz were a punk rock band from Arizona. They are infamous for their song Jesus Entering from the Rear which featured on Alternative Tentacles' Let Them Eat Jellybeans compilation, and for their provocative album covers. The Feederz have strong Situationist tendencies, and occasionally verge into anarchism; their songs are highly critical of government, consumerism, and religion. Lead singer Frank Discussion is also known for his "subvertisements" or "derailments", an adaption of the situationist tactic of detournement, as well as what he calls 'interventions' whereby one detourns physical events by intervening with an out of place element in the physical world, a tactic expressed as simply as placing disparate items in unsuspecting people's shopping carts, thereby raising the action beyond the level of mere prank to a conscious tactic used to undermine society and to express a unified critique of it. He is also known for being one of the developers of 'antistasiology,' defined as the comparative study of various types of tactics, strategies and organizational structures used by various resistance movements, both in history and those which are in present use.

The Feederz were formed in 1977 by Frank Discussion and Clear Bob (Dan Clark). Art Nouveau (John Vivier) later joining the group as their drummer. Before performing publicly, the Feederz issued a press release which the local media mistook as a terrorist communique. At their first show, Frank Discussion caused a panic by firing blanks from an AR-15 assault rifle into the audience. In 1980, the band released their first recording, a 4-song EP Jesus. In 1982, Frank Discussion wrote "Bored With School", a diatribe against school and work posing as an announcement from the Arizona Department of Education, and distributed five thousand copies to local high schools. He fled Arizona to escape arrest for this incident and settled in San Francisco
