POP-OFF TUESDAY See My Ghost 1999

 

Discogs

 

Formed in London in 1995, the Japanese duo of Hiroki Miyauchi (machines) and Minori Odaira (vocals/guitars) released their debut single, 'This Old Lady', on Origin Records 18 months later. This grabbed the attention of one John Peel, who booked them in for a session, which in turn grabbed the attention of the then fledgling Pickled Egg, who released their 2nd single, 'Unworldy', in July 98.

THE BUNNY BRAINS & BBQ YOUNG Tribute To GG Allin 7 inch 1993

 

Discogs

 

BunnyBrains are inarguably the most embarassing yet excellent yet awful rock band to come out of the State of Connecticut. The legend understates the facts (try watching a video of a vintage live performance), but the music stands for itself. BunnyBrains began its torturous life in 1988 as Bobby Bunny and Malcolm Tent's collaborative improv noise band and over the next decade grew into a collective of disenfranchised freak musicians from the state of Connecticut. The band's manifesto dictated that musician and non-musician alike were equally welcome and that no rules of sound or structure shall be required. 60+ members and half a dozen LPs and a dozen singles later, the Bunnies will be remembered for their contribution to communal brain damage and hearing loss amongst the denizens of the Nutmeg State.

BBQ Young were a band with a member of GG Allin's band as well as a member of Antiseen.

ALPHA STONE Soulweed 1997

Alpha Stone Biography by Richie Unterberger

Pete Bain was an original member of Spacemen 3 (although hardly the best known). As Pete Bassman, he's the key figure in Alpha Stone, which in his words (according to a label press release) is "like a less sublime, more groovy, danceable Spiritualized; the band merges spacy riffs with urban samples and mechanical drumbeats." Fair enough; certainly the music has strong connections to the vibe of Spacemen 3 and that group's various spinoffs, melding repetitive riffs both to snaky, early Pink Floydish psychedelic guitar riffs and electronic washes/rhythms. It's psychedelic music for the '90s, for listeners who want something that's neither consciously retro nor as cold as techno. Whether it's your bag or not depends very much on individual taste; for every listener that finds the groove hypnotic, another will find it unbearably tedious.

Ass Baboons of Venus Biography by Bradley Torreano

The Ass Baboons of Venus are a duo that combines the innocent cuteness of Japanese pop with the ridiculous toilet humor of Los Angeles trash rock. Comprised of comedian Naoko Nozawa and punk rocker Bob Limp, they tend to cross the boundaries between new wave and twee pop with their humorous sound. After releasing several singles, the Phucket a la Bum Bum compilation was released in the summer of 2002.

84 NASH Band For Hire 1999

 

Discogs

 

84 Nash Biography by Jason MacNeil

Formed originally in Dayton, OH, high-school mates Kevin Elliot and J.P. Herrmann got together to start a rock & roll band. Originally performing and rehearsing at home and in garages, the band added guitarist Andy Hampel and then drummer Dan Bandman. With grandiose ideas and a do-it-yourself attitude similar to Guided by Voices and Robert Pollard, 84 Nash recorded a 28-song debut album and shopped it around to labels, but there was no success. Still, the group continued performing and was signed to Rockathon shortly thereafter. 84 Nash also relocated to nearby Columbus, OH. Mixing an explosive and bombastic live show recalling the MC5 and the Who, the band released The Kings of Yeah in 1997. The group changed its lineup slightly also, adding another guitarist in Ben Schetek and replacing Bandman with new drummer James Brent. 84 Nash released its second album, Band for Hire, in 1999 and the album received tremendous praise for its style and substance. The band has been compared to other Ohio based bands such as Gaunt and the Breeders with a lo-fi quality mixed with the traits of Neutral Milk Hotel. 84 Nash has toured across North America and performed at various musical showcases, including the North by Northwest Festival in 2002.
