Mary Prankster was most definitely a band to see live. Typically at Baltimore and Washington D.C. shows (gigs close to Mary's hometown), the entire audience would be comprised of Mary fans, singing along to every song. Especially on songs like "Mercyfuck," "The World is Full of Bastards," and "Blue Skies Over Dundalk," it was hard to hear the vocals from Ms. Mary Prankster over the roar of the crowd. Performance only songs, such as "Art Fag Bastard" were also what made Mary performances truly special.
