About

Beyond the Threshold was a big fucking prank conceived sometime in the winter of 1994/1995 with the help of some half-frozen Killian's, a typewriter and some crappy band playing at Ralph's corner. With the help of the two jerks from Carothers Brothers, goXfargoXgo, Beyond the Threshold and the whole joke began. That first night, goofy straight-edge notes were typed up, doused and beer and frozen to the cars of Fargo scenesters outside of Ralph's. Goofier fliers followed with plans of having super-secret basement straight-edge shows and bringing Earth Crisis to town along with goXfargoXgo's house band, Beyond the Threshold (which, oddly enough, is a Husker Du song). Some people figured out the joke and the fellas had all but given up on it until the Peasant Boy "outed" us in his silly zine. Unfortunately, at that point, the joke had been over for quite some time. Go figure.

Not surprisingly, the band never existed, though if it did, I'd like to think that Scott would have been the adopted drummer. It's unfortunate that in all his time in Fargo, no one took the time to realize what a great drummer he was.

Highlights

goXfargoXgo getting written up in ChickenX and other zines. Beyond the Threshold had no highlights, because "living this lifestyle isn't about that kind of stuff. It's about pain!" Instead, please enjoy some of the song titles:

• No Beer, No Wine, No Blowjob Tonight
• Let's Put the xXx in not Having Sex
• Fargo Drunx Fuck Off
• Ralph's is Destroying America
• The Caged Bird Sings Cuz I Punched it in the Face
• etc.

Shows

A bunch of super-secret basement shows that you weren't invited to.
