Black Jack
I was going to wait and post this one after I'd run out of gems, but a recent posting on the GaragePunk.com forum made me decide to post it now.
Imagine your band getting signed to a happening label, and playing the very first slot of a major music fest. The imagine that the same night your dickhead of a lead singer gets beat up, your band gets kicked out of the rest of the fest, and your LP gets deleted from print. That's what happened to these 3rd level Misfits wannabes.
The story that worked its way thru the GS crowd went like this: During the bands set the lead singer made offensive comments about the Japanese acts that were on the bill. Later that night, at an after show party, he continued to tell racist jokes. He was confronted by Jay the drummer of The Makers, who quickly chose to kick his ass. While the mouth piece was still on the floor, Crider walked up and told the guy he wasn't welcome in Bellingham anymore. The band left town, and Estrus removed their LP from the next Crust Quarterly listing. In fact Estrus doesn't even mention the LP in the discography.
With the story the band is at least memorable, otherwise they would only be know as the worst band to ever play a Garageshock. They really sucked.
I was late getting into the club, so they were already into their first song when I hit record. It's no big loss, since just about ever song they do sounds like a horrible Misfits rip off. I remember the singer even sporting a devils lock.
I hate them so much that I didn't even bother to split the songs up. So it's just one 20 minute file.
If anyone knows more about this band, post it in the comments.
