The band tour the U.S. frequently in a renovated vintage Green Tortoise bus, and their live performances have featured puppet shows, pseudo-scientific scholarly presentations, and performances by members of the Butoh group inkBoat. SGM's music has been categorized as anything from avant-prog to art rock to experimental metal to RIO (Rock In Opposition). Many reviewers have remarked that the group is altogether unclassifiable.
The band uses many homemade devices as instruments, such as the viking row-boat and the spring-nail guitar. Rathbun plays a stringed bass instrument of his own construction called The Log which uses piano strings and is perhaps 7 feet long; it is played with two sticks: one in the left hand generally used as a fret, another in the right hand striking the strings. Mellender's percussion instruments consist of restaurant kitchen equipment, trash can lids, and other "found" metal objects, in addition to traditional percussion instruments.
They've announced their imminent end, as their last concerts will be held early April around California. But 2011 will still see a new album, a movie and a live DVD.

Bring back the apocalypse
It's never too late for the end of time
The lyrics of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's song Live-Bring Back The Apocalypse express a longing for the end of the world. The repetition of the phrase "Bring back" emphasizes a sense of nostalgia for the past, for a time when the end of the world was closer. The lyrics suggest that bringing back the apocalypse is a way to reset the world, to cleanse it of its sins and start anew.
The line "It's never too late for the end of time" carries a double meaning. On one hand, it suggests that it's never too late for humanity to destroy itself through war, pollution or other means. On the other hand, it suggests that the concept of time itself could come to an end. The song implies that the end of the world could be a liberating experience, a way for humanity to free itself from the constraints of time and existence.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of apocalypticism, a belief in the inevitable end of the world. The song suggests that this end could be a good thing, that it could bring about a new era of peace, redemption and freedom.

A lot of sound from this band's live videos has been kind of lacking. This sounds much better, sounds like a board mix which is great. Thanks for the upload!
