Reviewed by Mark CamposArse-horns, hurrah! With a crapulous flourish, this disturbed combo from Joplin, MO., lurch into battle with music. God love 'em, and I thought nobody listened to the Butthole Surfers these days.
So you've got your crunchy guitar rock stuff, over which odd voices declaim cod-operatic lyrics about the joys of bathing ("Heel of Fortune") or, sounding like Firesign Theatre's Rocky Rococco, praise a loved one's skill with serving Spaghetti-o's ("Brown Town"). In earlier days, kids from Utah would be calling the Dr. Demento request line, and, in funny voice, would ask the Dr. to play "Trash Knight" and other melted-sounding hymns from this collection.
It's good to know they're there, you know?
