TAPE REBEL 8 - Deadly Serious - "Night With Kim Gordon" (1989)

One thing I liked about the whole cassette scene was all the various artists compilation tapes. This was a real good one from Germany called "Tape Rebel 8!" This was a release on Winfried Pickart's Weed Music label from 1989. The artists involved were D' Innsect, The Bozfor, Sacks & Violins, Nostalgie Eternelle, Due, Forrest 4, and The Crew, but my favourite song off of this tape was:

KEVYN DYMOND & MARK SHAFER - Play Something Else (1988)

You can see by the list of people involved in this tape how much time must have gone into some of these projects! This was a masterful release by Kevyn Dymond & Mark Shafer and included this little ditty called "Alien Mother" on it! Kevyn on guitar, Richard Engel on bass, Dan Seeling on drums, and one of my favorite vocalists ever, Mike Patton, screaming his tonsils out! I got lucky and Kevyn allowed me to also use this cut on a compilation tape I made called "Refried Dreams!"

A Short History!

In the late 80's and early 90's, Brian James Riedel, Gary Wray, and myself had a lot of weekend garage music get togethers, and after the advent of fairly inexpensive drum machines and four tracks, we started taping the stuff we were doing as a band called Hermanos Guzanos. One year I met Bob X's brother Johnny Primitive at the San Diego Com Con and he told me he was having pretty good results making cassettes and sending them to college radio stations! I started sending and receiving cassettes and magazines to artists all over the world. The rest is history! My collection is in the 100's, so get ready for a wild and wooly ride! There's some great music still out there that has been heard by so few, but I'm going to do my little part to change that some!
