How do you say BASSHOLES? Like the fish or like the or the opposite of treble?

Like like, the the the fish.

Let's discuss their best.

Yes, let's.

"98 Degrees in the Shade" is probably their best song. What a blast it was dropping the needle on that record for the first time.

Haunted Hill and Blue Roots were both quite good. After that, I stopped paying attention, though I'm not sure why.

"I Can Tell by the Way You Smell" (on Blue Roots) does it for me every time.

They also do a ripping version of some Joy Division song, the name of which escapes me at the moment (Interzone??)

picked 'blue roots' on revenant and its great, I guess you could use it to compare it to the white stripes (no bass).

I don't remember the title--was released on SFTRI, and recorded live at a college staion in Pomona, CA.

"Hidden Strength Of Depression"?

Gusbot - I'm not familiar with that tune!! Which album or 7" is that on? It's not on any of the Bassholes stuff I have (I just checked)

Roger:

It's an old, old Sympathy single, I think. Maybe it was In the Red. Just super-raw and inspired rock. The garage revival (whichever one it was) was just getting underway (circa '90). Seek it out if you enjoy their other stuff.

Don Howland's solo album on Birdman is amazing.

That's a really good interview, can't be too many garage rock people who gravitated to modernist classical
