The Dismembers, late 80's retarded kbd punk from California on Uff Da Records. These guys and girl were really trying hard. If this were recorded in 78 instead of 88 I'm sure this would be a high dollar kbd item... Sounds a little like The Mad Daddy's. R.I.P. Stinky...
I'm sure this has been posted "somewhere" on the net already, let's see if i get accused of stealing this too...

Hi, It may be bizarre but the first bass lines of She´s a Critter are similar to Spin Doctors - Two Princes.
I didn´t know that band and listening for the first time the name "Art Punk" came in my mind. Something between The The and a mohawk, with a touch of Juicy Bananas and Fresh Prince of Bel-ir. Really nice Blog. Larry Wallis´ On Parole version is absolutle superb!! British Street Pub Rock! Best Wishes from Brazil, Leo
"Spazmocide"=best title ever.
I'm married to Christy Concrete. You can find all of their music here, for free download:

FYI - Skulk (guitar) still lives in the Bay Area and is doing well. Jim (bass/vocals) moved to Chicago in the mid 90s - no idea what he's up to at all. Someday he'll resurface. Mike (vocals/guitar) is fine - I forget where he's living now, but "Christy" said he's doing well. Christy and I moved to Canada in 2007, and we're doing great - our daughter is into music (piano) and we are well.
no prob with your posting this - feel free to sample the rest of their stuff.
By the way: they weren't trying too hard. They were barely trying at all. The whole thing was a big lark. They were all silicon valley engineers, and this was their way of having fun. So, enjoy! cheers!
Henry,
Thank you very much for the update and information!!!!
Cheers!

I feel like I uster be in da Archies!
Some new news on the Dismembers -
Christy, General Nuisance and Skulk are now in touch with each other and found a video of themselves playing at Marsugi's in San Jose in 1988. Once this gets digitised off the VHS tape, it will get on YouTube. Also - Gen.Nuisance is in Chicago, and doing very well, still involved with tech industry. Cheers!
