I was thinking of posting this one--not because the music is that great but because of the band pics on the rear cover! You're not doing the crap cover art justice, either, with that tiny photo. When I play this record I just picture maybe ten kids moshing in a dark, over-air conditioned club while everyone else stands around smoking cigarettes....

Try clicking it once young man and you'll see it enlarge. But yes I didn't quite have the angle there did I. Oh well I guess the music speaks for itself then but yes a good picture you paint my old friend and quite accurate I might add but yes probably the next step for those farm boys past the VFW gigs you see Doc Dart at or typical Ohio midwest gig like our amory in ST. Paul where I got kicked out being security for the between wrestling match fire breather band extraordinaire ala Russian singing Druid drummer ALa as I was security that night drinkin' their beer aha.

I mean I was the pyrotechnics guy assisting the fire breather and the band Vampyr entrusted me with the beer and alas the match wore on but see ya I left.

Awesome Via! Did this band have any other releases? I cannot find any 411 on them? For some reason, I keep 'remembering' the pro-skateboarder Natas Kaupus (spell?) was in that (or this) band. If im right there is a tape from the mid-eighties, released by Thrasher Magazine, or something....and it was their beer!!!>Rg

They were a Mpls. goth band who with a male singer named 'Cat' who only played house parties that you would never see flyers for but when they hired me on as driver I took 'em to Madison for a gig and even did the fire act at the 400 bar--the owner liked 'em! Like I say on my youtube I want to get the video I took of them in Madison at the gig in a ballroom that I gave to Cat(his camera) and never saw again. Last I saw Allah she was in Uptown painting childrens faces (the band always had white painted faces). We all had the blue Chesapeake "Roman Soldier" type winter jackets at the time so we looked like a goth group. For fun on Friday night before a gig we all watched "Fright Night" or some Nosferatu, Shadow Project or Bau Haus tape.
