Remember when you were a teenager, and you'd get high and watch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and the monsters would battle over the small cities and destroy the models of buildings? Wasn't that fucked up? See it live Saturday for the next installment of Kaiju Big Battel: The New and Improved Boston Massacre, for the world's "only live monster mayhem spectacle." Dr. Cube and his gang of angry mutants will be turning one of our city's largest indoor venues into a Wrestle-Mania styled arena (but with less white trash, oily, ponytailed men and potentially disastrous pyrotechnics).

Kaiju, which actually started in Boston as a SMFA project in the mid-'90s, has grown into Kaiju Studios, which has released a series of books, DVDs and touring "Battels" in various cities. Boston will be the first stop on the three-city tour which also includes Philly and NYC. DJ Clashious Clay will be on hand spinning sets between battels. If you haven't experienced a Big Battel before, be prepared for Engrish speaking announcers, caged-in wrestling rings and costumes that make GWAR look like peasants.
