For fans of California’s favorite pervs FEFU holds plenty
to hold dear; tons of tits, fights, blood, and the dangling dick
of HeWhoCannotBeNamed. The DVD is mostly a vehicle to promote
the Dwarves latest video for the single “FEFU” (short for Fuck,
Eat, and Fuck You Up) out of their latest release The Dwarves
Must Die. The
video itself has no plot and basically consists of vocalist Blag
Dahlia lip-synching in front of dozens of topless Suicide Girls.
There is also a middle-age midget. Then there is the same
scene of Dahlia with the SG girls but this time around everyone is covered in fake blood.
Then there is a very short scene of Dahlia making out with the
midget. That’s it. In typical Dwarves mode the song is over
quite quickly and you have two options; watch the ‘making of’ or
the version of the video, director’s cut and edited, you have
not seen. The ‘making of’ portion offers very little, basically
because there is nothing worth documenting besides capturing
Suicide Girls posing for photographs, Blag Dahlia walking around
the set with little to say, a short cameo by Rex Everything
(Nick Oliveri), the dangling wee wee of the infamous
HeWhoCannotBeNamed, and then some shots of people enjoying
catering. Regarding the song, what can we say? There was time
when The Dwarves seemed dangerous, when their dirty sound
perfectly complimented their naughty attitude, but is this slick
and quasi electronic guitar sound, and the too modern production
values along with their sugary rhythms that’s made of The
Dwarves a band that once was really badass. Keyword being 'was'.
The extras are more juicy; plenty of live material featuring
the typical Dwarves shows and going all the way back to the
80’s. Some of the live material is quite funny; with the songs
hardly ever getting performed all the way through and with band members
usually punching or slamming their instruments against the
scarce yet invasive, insulting and totally disrespectful
audience. But what do you expect? This is The Dwarves we are
talking about; a band that’s carved a career out of offending, pranking and fucking with everyone around. There are also two
interviews, one from 1992 in Texas where the interviewer fights
to get a straight answer and the band does its best to seem
funny but comes way short and one from Europe where the two females interviewers
giggle at every single thing Blag says and HeWhoCannotBeNamed
mumbles.
