Champaign ,IL is home to these alt-rock grungers ,who were around in 1991-1995. With art and graphics resembling an Am-Rep release ,the songs are noise-pop ,leaning towards Sonic Youth /Neil Young territory. From 1993 on Mud Records
This is a re-post of a previously posted tape.(back in 2009) This time I give you the flyer for the actual show ,with our original logo and mascot(see above,duh!),plus Billy and Shane were at the Edison Mall ,handing out flyers to the show ,and Dave from Wendy's ,was on a book signing tour ,and Billy handed him a flyer ,which he then placed on the table in front of him.It can be seen in the pic above ,which was on the front page of our local ,Ft. Myers News-Press newspaper! How's that for publicity? The following is from the original posting ,where all is explained!:
With a Chipmonk lookalike on the cover,and more of the downtrodden ,blues sound ,that they were playing at the time,this is another winner! One from the set-list is here ,Chipmonks
A new ,more topical title for this disc would be: "Splitting The Alt-Rock Super Power-Couple" ,in light of the recent news that Kim & Thurston are parting ways after 27 years of marriage! That sucks ,but they will at least finish their upcoming European tour ,and then see what flies. These are good recordings taken from various U.S. gigs during 1992.Courtesy of Joel Rizzo's discard pile ,thanks buddy! p.s. I saw a cool documentary today called "Flicker" ,about Brion Gysin's Dreamachine. Had Lee Ranaldo ,Genesis P. Orridge,William S. Burroughs ,and other underground cultural icons! Check it out,makes you wanna build your own Dreamachine (it would not be very hard,and would be quite rewarding ,in the end!)
The boys are back again ,this time for drugs! Another fab guitar freak-out number ,
