Human Aftertaste is one of the most bizarre bands to tour the Midwest. The group claims to be the only meat canning company and live band in-one. The group’s shows feature performances by strange characters like Count Jabula – the NASCAR Superstar, Sanjula – The Sultan of Suffering, Titty Bear, and AIDS Monkey.

Human Aftertaste will perform at 9 p.m. at Gabe’s on Friday. Admission is $5.

Human Aftertaste’s tours have taken them all over the Midwest, and their show at Gabe’s this weekend is a release party for the band’s latest rock album, Black Toad.

Along with Human Aftertaste, the show will also feature local band Item 9 & The Mad Hatters, and Madison, Wisconsin’s Peach Pies Caburlesque.
