The Location: North Bronx.The story: War. Enter The Infesticons and their arch enemies, The Majesticons.
The rumor persists that there are GI's in the jungles of Vietnam who still believe Richard Nixon is president. In much the same way, there are people living in the jungle of our cities who still believe in reality. People who - even after thirty years of massmultimedia - seem to think we're living somewhere other than Disney. Call them the Infesticons and think of a Vietcong for reality's last (virtual) battleground.
Robots in leather boiler suits are being blown up all over New York. Pipe bombs are going off inside booby-trapped bottles of Crystal. Little metal limbs go flying. Still, they're jacking their pneumatic hips to the sounds of Kenny Gee, beating their metal meat as PM Dawn gyrate for their pleasure in sequined thongs. Moving ever closer. Call them the Majesticons - the shock troops for the final jiggification of the Five Boroughs of the city. Nobody knows where the Majesticons have come from (though many harbor suspicions). Looking at their clothes, you would guess they
where built in the mid-eighties, the work of a man (or alien?) desperate to turn the world into a jiggy paradise a Dynasty template multiplied and turned global, a Shalamar promo all night long. But as to where they have been for the best part of fifteen years? Stored away in some basement, maybe, forgotten as dusty. Until now. Awakened, they take up their mission like the last ten years never happened. They aren't to know that most of the New York has already fallen to subtler means. From Yonkers, the Majesticons march south.
The Bronx chapter of the Infesticons respond first.Skirmish becomes battle. Battle becomes war. Their one aim - to stop the Majesticons by any means necessary:"Is it possible? What is Selling out? What is the power of Language in this battle?
Ugly vs Beauty? Pick a side and carry out your mission..."

"A sublime moment where hip hop, poetry and technoid funk gel perfectly... 'Hero Theme' is, however unlikely, 'pop': accessible, catchy, essential."
