daisy chainsaw - eleventeen

Photobucket

the year: 1992
they were from london

the name of the band says it all...
the daisy coming from singer katie jane garside's singing...she goes from sounding very child-like to screeching like a banshee (this was the only album she appeared on)...the chainsaw comes in via the guitar player's tone

they had this kind of butthole surfers meets pussy galore meets sonic youth thing going on

the singer and guitar player later went on to form a band called QueenAdreena that features the drummer from the clash

bert - Big Box Schwing (1996)

bert are (were) from Montgomery, Alabama. A noisy-chaotic 3-piece aiming for some thing like the Jesus Lizard, meets Hammerhead. Guitarist's vocal's sound as if he just returned from the dentist- having multiple extractions while getting hammered on pure-grain whiskey. They were a mess to watch live. Falling down, hitting each other accidently with guitar heads, crashing through drumset, & toppling rigs... And that's just during tuning (which they only do once or twice per set-when they probably should after each song...) I don't know for sure what became of them, but it was good while it lasted.

"Listening to Big Box Schwing is somewhat akin to being beaten by an angry mob, or taking a spin in a clothes dryer filled with Ginsu knives"- Jim Santo, Alternative Press

Here is their 2nd CD release on Chicken Ranch Records (Austin)

released in 1991
from chicago,il
this was their first full length
features fred "i'm just keeeeding!" armisen on drums
this could've easily fit in with the bands on the dischord records label...as they had a sort of punk/jazz/dub hybrid sound...this is what it would sound like if fugazi were to jam with (the) minutemen
they broke up in 1998
the singer and bass player went onto form the band the eternals
the bass player went onto become a teacher
the drummer went onto play with the blue man group and then joined the cast of saturday night live
