LIQUORBALL

I've got fucks the sky. they're on some inept heavy psych-jam trip. haven't listened to them in a looong time. I know ugly american interviewed them in '92.

I've also got the blackjack 7" on glow in the dark vinyl. < /collectorscum>

Refresh my memory - what's the connection between them and Monoshock?

apparently this exists as well...

Cool. Also, how amazing is that Bad Trips LP????

I'm gonna refrain from bidding on that Liquorball LP cuz trying to outbid an ILMer would be a dick move, but I'm gonna place that LP on my wishlist for future shopping. Good luck Reatards Unite!

liguorball also has a track on the hawkwind tribute album assassins of silence

midheaven still has copies of hauls ass and hitler's bunker

philadelphia record exchange had a bin stuffed with the live album last time i was there. $15

Also, how amazing is that Bad Trips LP????

not... really? i found it kinda disappointing. liqourball and monoshock is a lot to live up to, though. maybe i'm just bitter because they're set up in my hometown - my boring, fucking dead republican hometown that suddenly turned into some kind of noise/psych paradise when i moved. that's an exaggeration, but there was NOTHING going on before that. except surfing, cirith ungol and realization records.

oh yeah, fucks the sky is practically a metal record.

love this band

that is all

oh yeah, fucks the sky is practically a metal record.

after listening to it back to back with some morbid angel this weekend I'm gonna hafta disagree. "it's practically a record" is probably more accurate.

once described as "San Francisco's answer to nothing"

In a more just world, these guys would have been receiving the same sort of accolades that Comets on Fire are getting.

Monoshock. Liquorball.

Liquorball. Monoshock.

I still don't have those Liquorball LPs. Just a few singles.
I should... get them.

In response to Reatards, I can totally believe there hasn't been a thread about these guys on this board. Love 'em to death, but admit the necessarily "limited" nature of their appeal. And, yeah, Fucks the Sky is VERY good - better than Hauls Ass for my money, though not by much.

I've also got the blackjack 7" on glow in the dark vinyl.

"Walk Into the Fire is pretty much the best thing since unassisted breathing"

OTM, but I think I like the Runnin' Ape comp even better.

I'd always assumed the Liquorball stuff was impossible to find decently priced, and have still never heard them. Damnit, I was really meaning to not spend all my tax return on records this year...

Runnin' Ape is fantastic, but I skipped it 'cuz I've already put the singles on my computa. I think that the Liquorball stuff probably goes for decent money in the right hands, but they were totally ignored at the time, and the records just floated around in sale/dollar bins. So, they still show up from time to time in unexpected places for next to nothing. (This true in Seattle, at least.)

Man, I just ordered Hitler's Bunker and a vinyl copy of Walk Into the Fire all excitedly from Midheaven only to find out that they actually don't have anymore copies of either. I wish they would update their pages more often.

“I Took you to it, Baby” from Walk to the Fire rules.

And I thought the Bad Trips was great. Solid outer space vibes.

Yeah, that just happened to me with Haul's Ass.

ABsolutely fantastic band!! I have that 7 in. mentioned earlier in the thread, and if memory serves that gem goes back a long way. I'm thinking maybe into the '80s...? Anyway - Liquorball & Monoshock are bothe terrific & highly recommended for skuzzblast fans.

there were two blackjack singles, the willie the worm one and the glow-in-the-dark one, yeah I gots both

OK - Come Fly With Us is the one I have.

how long has it been since i fucked the sky?

TOoO FUCKING LONG!

yang yan yang (etc)

i encourage you to do the same...

Hey I work for a guy from this band now. And Monoshock. So that's something.

what does he do that he compels your service?

because, given the sound, the idea is strange...

i'll be jealous if you work at Grady's record store

That is where I work! One big day a week!

most desirable janitor position ever

Heh. It is a better store than this town deserves.

word to the 805

I preferred Monoshock from what I remember

dunno grady's store or town, but i am having a kind of grady envy

oh yeah, monoshock were way better, but still

anyone heard the International Hello LP?

as with everything else Monoshock/Liquorball, i saw it mentioned first at Head Heritage

^My buddy is mailing me his download code from the lp, looking forward to hearing it.
Been jamming Monoshock lately.

don't forget STERNKLANG, please all you krautsploitationers:

anyone heard the International Hello LP?

NO - super psyched to check this out

That Sternklang album is great and covered for many a late DJ when I was on the radio.
