Go Go Killers

Beelzebubble Bath

(Pigmé Records)

With sanger Alabama Sharp a-lurch at their fore, these flesh-obsessed slime-people channel unspeakable passions through fuzz-clad mantras in which tribal poundings resound with dire finality. Alabama Sharp reels as off-balancedly as one would expect a spiritual brother of Hasil and Lux to do, yowling, whooping, and hiccuping his path into askew dimensions normal souls leave untrod.

Recommended: "Suck My Lollipop," "Milkshake," "Salty Dog," "Ladies From Hades," "Chicken Parts," "Hole Digger," "Goin' Down To the Water," "Johnny Getsum Was His Daddy," "Shake Your Bones"

Graveyard Tramps Eat the Forbidden City Dog Food

(Tutman Records)

Three decades ago, Lux Interior compiled approximately half of these tracks on wax. Rudimentary Rhythm & Blues, Garage, and Go-Go Rock'n'Roll numbers appear, but offbeat novelty outings also rise and fit no classification devised by man. But Exotica (a designation that occasionally suits) proffers peculiar charm, and intriguing elements can be located. Eccentric song-pleasures are punctuated with promotional excerpts for drive-in detritus Girls For Rent, The She-Beast, Scream Blacula Scream, and Vampire Playgirls. 

Discogs advises that the full title given above was the one Lux printed on his cassette compilation. It was abbreviated to Forbidden City Dog Food for the original vinyl issuance.

Recommended: "China Rock" (Florence Pepper), "Space Craze" (Rick McGuire), "March Slav Boogie" (Homer Denison Jr), "Noisey Village" (Rod McKuen), "The Bird's the Word" (The Rivingtons), "Turkey Neck Stretch" (Grady O'Neal), "Bacon Fat" (Andre Williams), "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" (The Rivingtons), "The Bee" (Kenny Henkle's Friends), "(Let's Dance) The Hump" (The Invictas), "Oo-Ma-Liddi" (J.J. Jackson and the Jackals)

Videos: "Noisey Village"   "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow"   "(Let's Dance) The Hump"

Trailers: "Girls For Rent"   "The She-Beast"   "Scream Blacula Scream"   "Vampire Playgirls" (radio spot)

Death Curse   EP

(Self-issued)

Growls, yelps, Lux Interior-hiccups, and full-on thunderings are dramatically loosed atop wall-flattening rampages that draw from Rockabilly's cockiness and Punk's contemptuous disregard for rectitude. Formidable muscle is exercised in every slamming chord and skin smashing, as apparent as ear-ringings resulting from no-turning-back exposure.

Recommended: "Love Machine," "Scars Of Armel," "Demoness," "Up'd 'n' Gone," "None Will Stay," "One Night With Tamara"
