Later on, they mutated into The Worst, who mutated into the Fiends. Oddly enough, Greg Watson, who was in the band I was in, the 14th Wray who had a couple of tunes on the comp. is now in the Fiends. Anyways, the name wasn't that original even then - there have been quite a few with that name (and the Worst and the Fiends for that matter). Of course, there are many similar names also: Graveyard Five, Gravediggers, etc. ------------------------------ From: Al Caveteen Date: Fri, 13 Sep 1996 18:26:59 +0200 Subject: Re: Bomp V96 #89 At 08.11 13/09/96 -0700, you wrote: > Of course, there are many similar names also: Graveyard >Five, Gravediggers, etc. Of course you mean the Gravedigger five and the Graveyards.

Anyone see the Hentchmen w/MoAM at Irving Plaza last night? How were they? Saw them here in Beantown Tuesday. They were good, but not the "best" I've seen 'em!

Smith" Date: Fri, 13 Sep 1996 17:19:58 -0400 Subject: grave robberz The Grave Robbers (or Graverobbers I think) were a semi-interesting band fronted by Karl Straub from Washington, DC starting in maybe 1988. they straddled the country rock/ indie-rock fence and released a single on homestead called "Mark Robinson" as an industry in-joke about Mark who runs a record label called teenbeat, which many of you may know (at least from the Los Marauders and Butch Willis records) they released another single called "Justine" about a restaurant owner... despite connections, their lack of interesting material and a clearcut sound basically drove them into obscurity around 1995. but *christ* surely someone can come up with a more interesting name than Grave Robberz (which sounds like an entry in last year's brief horror-rap genre) I mean Grave Robbers from Outer Space (the alternate title to Plan 9) would be a start, but still be extremely corny. anybody follow the Yma Sumac tour? Don ------------------------------ From: Andrea Lauritzen Date: Fri, 13 Sep 1996 17:39:30 -0400 Subject: Pendletons records Blair, Louie (Pendletons/Splitsville Records) indicated to me a couple of weeks ago that he sent several copies of the 7" to several distributors, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it around. As far as the record on Nobbler goes, it was reviewed in either this or last month's MRR. I'll check the address tonight, and if no one else forwards it I'll post it when I return to work Monday. (unless I'm a super geek and come in and check my email this weekend). I don't know if you have the Goner 7", but I beleive if you write to Eric Friedl he should have some copies left. There's also a record with Louie and Mike called KING LOUIE THE 69TH and the HARAHAN CRACK COMBO. Louie sings on it. It's pretty cool and crazy sloppy rockabilly, quite different from what the Pendletons usually do. Louie's voice is very rough too. The King Louie single is also on Goner. There's a guy in NYC who is supposed to be putting out a Pendletons record. I forget his name or the name of his label. He was at CBGBs last weekend. (sorry, but there was BOURBON in that pee-pee decanter!) Gotta go...

That sounds *great.* The closest I remember coming to that in NY would be when Gary "Teenager" Balaban would show movies as Cine Noir Productions and *some* of them would be rock'n'roll clips. (Luckily, NYC also has some cool museums with great film archives.) But the best was in '86, when The Mosquitos were playing every Sunday night, a couple sets, at Chelsea's on New York Ave. in Huntington, Long Island. Before, between, and after the sets, a local guy (whose name I'd prefer not to mention because of various things that have gone down in the intervening years) would show all these incredible 60s vid clips. That's where I got my first views of the Elevators, Pretty Things, Zachary Thaks, and tons more. ------------------------------ From: User Date: Sat, 14 Sep 1996 00:33:11 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Hentchmen? Yup... went to Irving Plaza last night. Glad I decided to get there at 8:30, 'cuz that's when they hit the stage. A good set in a *much* bigger room than I've ever seen them in. (I do love that place.) The Dirty Three bored me to tears. (Luckily, Billy & Miriam from Norton Records had taken me backstage to the Hentchmen's dressing room with them, so it was muffled... and I was treated to good conversation and some good (and bad!) jokes all around, as well.) MOAM? also did a great show. So wild to remember them only a few years ago, sleeping at my place after doing an opening slot for the Woggles on a Friday night at Maxwells, with *maybe* 50 people in attendance. Last night was jam-packed. And Irving Plaza has gotta hold *at least* 600. Does anyone know the actual capacity there? I almost went down to Philly tonight for the show at Silk City (same 3 bands.) It was 'sposed to be at Nick's, but was moved. It was pouring, tho', and I also had thoughts of checking out the O. Sins in Bethlehem, The Gnats in NYC, etc. But nobody wanted to road trip tonight, and I got to chatting with a friend for a few hours. Oh well. ------------------------------ From: Timothy Gassen Date: Fri, 13 Sep 1996 22:31:14 -0100 Subject: Re: Bury the hatchet! User wrote: > > Yup... I'll be 31 in November.
