Go Genre Everything are well known for their wild and eclectic smells. GGE are proud to be one of the few groups, which delight in fans trying to guess the nature of certain smells during their performances. With every show GGE attempts to create entirely new and unique nasal experiences for their audience by burning different materials in a seven-inch metal coffin placed at the foot of the stage or venue. This practice has been met with a wide range of responses ranging from utter repulsion to complete and utter asphyxiation. Some common materials used to create the aural-nasal extravaganza include old socks, garlic as well certain spices such as Black limes, Ephedra and Eryngium foetidum.
[edit] Dinosaur obsession
Images of dinosaurs are deeply embedded in the lore of GGE and find representation in its various forms of production media, paraphernalia and propaganda. The dinosaur obsession also finds its way into GGE shows, manifesting itself in the form of masks as well as costumes.
