The Bad Trips - s/t LP (Rocketship) $15 US/Canada, $24 world NEW
For those of you experiencing Monoshock/Liquorball withdrawls and are needing a Grdy Runyan fix, well, just call me Mr Pusherman, because I have a record for you. In 2005, Grady and some of his Ventura pals got together and jammed on some psychedelic groovers, recording the noise on a 2 track tape. The Bad Trips turn out 5 drugged out instro fucks, all anchored by Grady’s evil curl of a guitar, which is both truly evil and sounds like notes curl out of it, notes that attack you and will drive you MAD! True to their name, The Bad Trips sound like one of those bands in the acid scene of a psychspoitaion film BUT WAY BETTER. If First Priority doesn’t knock you socks purple, you have no hope in this world. 500 pressed on 180 gram vinyl in a nifty silk screened sleeve.
Times New Viking / Psychedelic Horseshit 7" $6 US/Canada, $9 world
I just got home & havent listened to this yet, but I am sure it is good.
Dead Western s/t 7" (Weird Forest) $6 US/Canada, $9 world NEW
If any Weird Forest artist earns the right to live in a weird forest it is Dead Western. Atmospheric, sometimes accoustic, at times unsettling, what tips DW into strange is the vocals of Troy Mighty. Odd + Vaudeville = Oddevillian. Some have called Troy a mutant Bing Crosby and if that was it we'd be set for a party. Nope. The music of Dead Western is as captivating as the voice. Mellow it might seem but the light strumming is more haunting than anything else. I could go on but I would only confuse you. Let me just say that if you have liked some of the stranger stuff presented here, you will certainly dig this. Clear vinyl in a nifty dye cut sleeve.
Hair Police Drawn Dead LP (Weird Forest) $13 US/Canada, $20 world NEW
When I was a youngster I drove all the way out to Lexington, Kentucky to visit a girl who promptly told me on my arrival that she wasn't going to be sleeping in the same bed, same room or same house with me. That she would be staying at the house she lived at with some friends and I would be crashing at her mom's place...and, by the way, she would be at work or in school most of the week I'd be visiting so enjoy Lexington. Lucky for me mom lived in a cool old house downtown and wandering around the decaying central city was much fun. Too bad Hair Police weren't even a thought back then otherwise I'd have them follow me around and create a soundtrack for my wanderings. Drawn Dead might have been that soundtrack. Guitar scrapings, odd percussion and damaged electronics construct four soundscapes that are several cuts above yer average noise outfit. But if you have been following the Hair Police, you know that already. The vinyl version of the CD put out by Hanson.
Death to Pigs / Gu Guai Ring Qui s/t LP (Down Boy) $15 US/Canada, $20 world
According to the Death to Pigs the name a a reference to everybody's favorite puppet master, Charlie Manson. Can you hear Manson in these Frenchie's tunes? Not so much as maniacal energy and twisty hardcore insired post punk. Namecheck: Monorchid, Proletariet, NOU, MRP, Really Red, Popular Shapes, etc. That's the speed and the style is their own. Gu Guai Ring Qui are another French unit - these guys grind a bit more with some harsh vocals but also with strange beats and off electronics.
Johnny Lunchbreak - Acetate 1974/1975 LP (Zero Street) $15 US/Canada, $24 world new
So you are digging for records and you come across an acetate for a buck, take it home and it turns out to be a great unknown rock band. Do some detective work and you track down some band members and beg them to release it. Well, that is what Mike at Zero Street Records in Omaha did. Great rock & roll, not the balls to the walls or outsider oddness that usually gets discovered and pressed up but tunes that fall into the Big Star/Hackamore Brick/early 70s Bee Gees school of sound. When a band pulls of that kind of sound - and Johnny Lunchbreak do - it is really nice to hear. I've listened to this record more than a dozen times since it landed in my paws (a week ago at this writing) and dig it more everytime. This is the kinda thing you would expect on Anopheles. 300 pressed all hand numbered.
Le Club des Chats Pump Up the Seed 7" (Le Vilain Chien) $7 US/ Canada,
$10 world back in stock
One of the pleasures of assembling Tete de Bebe was discovering bands that I hadn't heard before. One of my favorite finds is Le Club des Chats. The noise these three French cat lover make is purrrr-fect (sorry!). But really it is. The meld Crass style drumming with a Kleenex post punk drive and stir in a big glob of absurdism. The result is frantic, playful, mind twisting punk rock. This five song ep is one of my favorites of the year. A real fresh piece of vinyl. From France and 500 pressed.
