“Hanatrash” performance with a backhoe

According to Pitchfork’s “The Decade in Noise”, Eye Yamatsuka (of the Boredoms) while performing with his band Hanatrash in 1985 drove a backhoe through the back wall of the venue and proceeded to rip up the stage.  Sadly, I couldn’t find an audio recording but there is a slideshow of grainy black-and-white photographs.

Here is a video of Hanatrash from a similar period.
