SCHMUTZIGMUZIK

this is more old ft.myers,fl punk,2 live shows,2 line-ups.first show is at edison community college,5 songs(well,one spoken piece)with mike griffin,dave roth,nathan adams,randy stack and peter kreutlein,from 1985.second show is 7 songs(including a fine cover of the 13th floor elevators,"you're gonna miss me) with mike,dave,shane pringle,tony rizzo,and peter on keys,at 4 freedoms park in cape coral,from 1986.these fellas have great songs like,"noisemaker","the axe","20 minutes","tommorow now!",and more.sounding much like early pere ubu,d.a.f.,cabaret voltaire,and more synthy electronic bands from the 80's.very rockin' and highly enjoyable.mike said he would send some newer stuff to be posted,that would be great as it is more of his noise/power electronics stuff,so yipee!

VITREOUS HUMOR

after miasma,this band formed from the wreckage.mike griffin,dave roth,and john bevins,evolved a little here from their earlier hardcore punk roots.this is kinda alternative before it was.a horrible version of smoke on the water(very punk!)and some great sing-a-longs like dave's"tell me what you do for me".a synth number from michael,and lots more great early(1981-82)punk from the ft.myers scene.some of this was recorded at sound check studios,some in mike's bedroom.

MICHAEL ALTON GRIFFIN-excerpts from the chip davis archives

this solo artist is heavily into orgonomics,and power electronics.some of this reminds me of 80's synth and new wave,mostly cabaret voltaire and d.a.f.,but i hear other influences as well.some spoken parts,guy gentry guests on guitar on one track,jimmy cochrane on keys on another track,very intriguing and nostalgic,reminds me of the 80's,waiting around some downtown area anywhere in florida,for the club to open for the punk show we were going to see.mike wrote some notes to this ,in the zip file.i have a tape of a few of his bands,schmutzigmuzik,vitreous humor,and gutbucket,that i will post at another time,none of which sound anything like this.very futuristic and spacey,yet old wave/new wave,the 80's is the decade that's repeating now,right?,so this is kinda topical!very enjoyable listen.
