Kings of the Fucking Sea
"In Concert"
scum stats: black vinyl, I'd guess a couple hundred copies
Recalling the oomph of Mudhoney and the tone of Sleep, Nashville's Kings of the Fucking Sea are in pure form with this exquisitely executed live LP. Don't check it out because they're my friends...check it out because it's undeniably good.
The cover of T. Rex's "Buick Mackane" is of particular swagger here while the original "Witch Mountain (No Return, No Escape)" presses HARD with blasting fuzz drone repetition for days. And a 1970's sci-fi reference in the title? Works for me. On the other side of the spectrum, the cover of Mecca Normal's "I Walk Alone" daringly shows a quasi-tender moment amongst the maelstrom. Unexpected but wholly enjoyed. Charming even.
Packaged in a fancy-pants gatefold jacket with shiny silver foil stamping and the first 100 or so copies coming with an autographed poster (you may not have missed out just yet) this is just a great rock and roll refresher course. Register now.
I dig it. thanks for the recommendation!
I’m starting to think BLUE CHEER had a even bigger impact on early 70s rock than first though. Yeah I know they were influenced by what came before too. The filter of music goes through each generation and hopefully comes out the other end with the individual putting their own ideas, talent up on offer. I love this stuff. A kiss and a big hug to Leslie West, I got to see Mountain at the Capitol Theater ’74. Listen to “Never In My Life” and tell me the drum and guitar sound has ever been bettered, equaled yes but never better. The Children of the Revolution are made of inspiration and talent along with a fuck you attitude. VIVA THE ROCK.
You winking at me I’m the only one here,you winking at me.
Been needing to grab this one for awhile now.
