Now You Can Watch the Same Trapped Under Ice Set That John Waters Did

0

Last month, Trapped Under Ice played a hometown show at the Ottobar in Baltimore. It sounded like a helluva show, with fans and friends of the band throwing down on the final Saturday night of 2024. And while that would be noteworthy for those in attendance, it really picked up interest here on the heavy metal internet blogosphere web 2.0 machine because fellow Baltimore native and iconic writer, actor, artist, and filmmaker John Waters was in attendance.

Usually that sort of thing is just a cool story we get to write about and make a quick Pink Flamingos reference, but thanks to modern technology we’re now able to watch the same show that the 78-year-old auteur witnessed. Really, it’s all thanks to the show being filmed and edited by Tracy Conway, mixed and mastered by Jeremy Hayes, and engineered with front-of-house sound by Tristan Heelys, with the whole thing posted on The Ottobar YouTube channel.

The Ottobar described the video below as follows:

“A raucous first installment to our Ottobar video series, Trapped Under Ice takes us on a career spanning retrospective in under 40 minutes. Along the way, haunted by the watchful eye of John Waters perched in the balcony, Justice contemplates TUI’s use of the Crybaby samples.”

So yeah. Hit play on the video below and enjoy. You can find the full setlist after the clip.

The full show ran as follows:

  1. “Soul Vice”
  2. “Reality Unfolds”
  3. “Evelyn”
  4. “Unfinished Business”
  5. “Heavy Thoughts”
  6. “Born to Die”
