shiver

...here's a nice exemplification of what can only be considered basement level freak acid rock splatter dateing from the early seventies, nearer to the messy drug pummel of the 60's than the hard rock sound that went onto score corporate bread for some sell out/easily persuaded rock musos...digging the wares on offer one thing comes on like a stone cold certainty which is that when out record hunting these cats obviously didn't have too much scratch and even between the three of them they only managed to score one LP and that was a cutout copy of the second blue cheer LP, but they lovingly played it alot, everyday, two or three times...they took the cheers earlier wrecked teenage stoner blast to heart and came on strong with their own version, thats the basis for their lunging ambling rock'n'roll assault mixed in with fx-pedal noodling...though true to say there was an over abundance of this sort of combo back in the day, most never getting anywhere near a recording studio of any sort theres no need for rose coloured spectacles to aid any hindsight for this is one groovily excellent look at third generation ballroom racket-mongers...legend has it they played a lot of free gigs and street fayres along with biker beer-bashes so their hearts were in the right place if' commercially they had long since missed the train to glory...
...drug mess...
