Noise Artist Danny Tantrum Eats Own Feces Onstage

Ya know what? Now that everything from yesteryear has circled back into popularity again, I guess I’m not surprised that this did, too. It is, however, the kind of shit I love waking up to for hilarity’s sake. This week, Austin, Texas-based weirdo noise musician Danny Tantrum was, well, a fucking weirdo. They pooped onstage in front of all the disgusted attendees there and then shoveled that shit in their mouth like they hadn’t eaten all day. There’s footage of it that Tantrum posted, that you can access here if that’s your thing. It’s almost 2025—we don’t kink shame (openly).

Tantrum was performing with Schizing Out and Terminal at the Coral Snake in Austin, though those two acts seemingly kept whatever bottom rot they had going on inside their pants. Tantrum perched themselves up on a stool like some artsy fuckin gargoyle before unleashing the bottom beast, watching it dollop into a hospital pan on the floor. They then, excitedly, reached into the pan and ate it. The GG Allin meets the “Mad Pooper” from S3E12 of Bob’s Burgers act led to staff trying to stop the flow before it got out of hand, BUTT to no avail. The show was then understandably cut short.

What makes this story even better to me is how the staff handled it. They, of course, made Tantrum strap up with cleaning supplies, but they also tried to get all of the audience members who enjoyed the defecation to help clean it up as well. That’s fair, I suppose.

Though Tantrum says the act was performed with no ill will towards the venue, the Coral Snake understandably still took this to heart. They shared a message to all the other local venues, urging them not to book Tantrum in the future for the defacing defecation.

I’m sure I’m not the first one to think of this, but Austin—if you’re city slogan is to “Keep Austin Weird,” can y’all really be upset when a weirdo does weird shit? Really makes ya think…of poop.
