TOM BURRIS - "Tom Burris" (1988)

Straight out of Anderson, Ind, here's two great songs from a Tom Burris self-titled tape from 1988 that I'm sure Tom wouldn't mind me sharing with you!     Two sides of Tom Burris:

"CURTAIN CALL"

"SPIRIT DRAWING"

PSYCHEDELIC AMBULANCE - "Ugly City" (1989)

I came in contact with a cool guy in Germany named Guido Erfen who was promoting a lot of unique music. He sent me this tape by Psychedelic Ambulance. It's been one of my faves for years, just take a listen and you'll understand why!

Psychedelic Ambulance - Ugly City (1989)

COURTESY PATROL - "World War Four" (1988)

Courtesy Patrol - "War Theme"

Straight out of Youngstown, Ohio, Tom Furgas and Courtesy Patrol offer up not experimental music, but whatever was the result of that experiment, kind of like the Frankenstein Monster, this stuff will tromple all over you if you don't get out of the way! Good Stuff!! The other musicians on the project are Bill Lehman, Nick Arkwright, Barrett Sinclair, Michele Kenny, John Boyle and Emily Dickinson!

Screamin' Popeyes - "POP - ICON" (Early 90's)

There once was a great band from Hollister, Missouri named Screamin' Popeyes! They sent me a lot of tapes, and they were all so good, I can only assume they went on to be The Black Stripes or The White Keys or one of those current cool bands! Here's two great songs in two different styles from their release called "POP-ICON! The second song reminds me a lot of the song styling of Walter Becker of Steely Dan fame!

 Contactee

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat

HOW'S BAYOU - "Two Step De Maman" (1987)

 

In 1987, I got this cool Cajun tape from a Seattle band with one of the greatest play on words for a band name called How's Bayou called "New Melody Stomp!"  

 Here's Mike Bristow on Bass, Karen England on Fiddle,  Ben Lang playing percussion, Dave Lang on Accordion and lead vocals, and Paul Mooney on Guitar and Harmony Vocals with

 "Two Step De Maman!"

"Laissez les bons temps rouler!"

HUMIDIFIER - "Sinus" (1989)

  In 1989 I got this cassette on the Lubricated Records label from a great band from Uniondale, NY called Humidifier! The name of the tape was "Sinus" and here's the lead-off tune,  Stumblebug!  Just consider it your lucky day!

THE SATELLITES OF LOVE - "Quite Happy" (1988)

I really wish there was some way I could generate more interest in this site, because some of the music that was produced on cassette in the 80's and 90's was really good, and the German band Satellites Of Love featuring Micha, Bogdan, Rubin, and Bheila is a good example! Here's two songs from their 1988 release "Quite Happy!" It might just make you quite happy!!
