the fluid - punch n' judy

released 1986

these boys from denver,co were clearly influenced by that motor city punk rawk sound mixed with a little bit o' the new york dolls (vocalist john robinson goes between iggy pop and david johansen)

they were the first non seattle band to get signed to sub pop (they released the band's second album CLEAR BLACK PAPER in 1988)

they also went onto record a split with nirvana in 1991

and if you've ever seen the movie HYPE!...the lead singer of the band blood circus is seen sporting one of the band's t-shirts onstage (and if you've never seen the movie...go and sit in the corner and think about what you've done)
