CAT MACHINE - Teen-age Pez-head Punk Rock Spies


One of the most cohesive studio efforts,by the most under-rated,undiscovered,underground,outsider ,cult-bands of all time.Recorded on 4/2/1991,with Ed,Tony,Joel,and Chipmonk,this one has the hits!!Their 39th release ,features the college rock radio hit ,"When The Ape Man Smiles", which ,thru Chipmonk's contacts,managed to garner an audience,when it was played on several college campus radio stations,across the nation,most notably in Wisconsin.Other great compositions here ,include ,"All In The Family" , "Alcoholic Funk" ,and "Backstab" ,all sung by Joel. Chipmonk vocalizes on ,"Lunchbox Sabotage",and "Fly High Flyers" ,while Ed yells on ,"Spontaneously Combusting" , "My Mom's A Facist" and "The Things To Come.And Tony ,besides singing lead on "Ape Man" also kicks in with his crooning on "Gettin' Bent (Big Dead Ass).This is seriously really good! If you haven't heard anything from this year-long series yet ,I would suggest you might start here.This really shows their true talent of getting wasted,and banging out world class punk songs! The title was later appropriated by Sexboy ,for a song title .

A look at what was hot on college campuses,in February of 1992.My fave here is Melt Banana,a japanese noise/pop group,who tour relentlessly,and sound like no one else.

the T V G B ' S




not related to cbgbs,except for the fact that it's punky music.kinda ultra intellectual tardcore.like a t v with nothing but information ,or a set of encyclopedias,or sitting in a college course,listening to professors.song lyrics vary greatly,every subject is touched upon,the music is varied as well,sticking to a mostly punk /tard style,but some metal leanings are also heard.i also hear a bit of minor threat like emo/caring type of vibe.it's a trip to the library,a virtual cornucopia of information.i play all instruments,a real drum kit,all vocals,i am all alone here again.very cohesive sound ties it all together in a neatly wrapped package.a/k/a the tee vee gee bees,also has nothing to do with the bee gees.a real lone wolf sounding type of recording that will either cheer you up or make you even more depressed,but laughing.with a germs cover.art by me.pretty fuckin'cool,a good listen .click here for zip file: https://archive.org/download/TheTvgbs/121TheTvgbs.zip
