- Some observant Pittsburgh scenesters may be familiar
with the young Drs. Spaztik and Hyperactive as being
Junior Agents of Operation Re-Information, often found
dancing mechanically at O.R.I. shows and wearing homemade
costumes. But there's more to these geeks than meets the
eye. In fact, they're moguls of an invisible empire, the
OOBS Records conglomerate, which has its own Website
(www.members.aol/oobs) and a roster of electronic and
noise bands from around the country. They also have their
own noise group, called the Joysticks (for short).
They've lit the stage at the Chartiers Valley High School
talent show on fire, opened for Matador artist Solex, and
won honorable mention in the Ohio vs. Pa. Noise Brawl,
all while playing a wide variety of electronic
instruments that range from a Bearcat scanner to a 2XL
robot. Here's hoping that these wacky high-schoolers
don't burn out and decide to be boring and normal by the
time they get to college.(M.T.).
