Speedball Baby - I'm Gonna Stomp Mr. Harry Lee.

NEW VINYL LP ON SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDSRTY 1998.

A more contemporaneous comparison might be?span>the Birthday Party, as evidenced by the twisted rockabilly of tracks such as "Toss My Salad" on their 1996 debut album,?span>Cinema!. The seeds of the band's future were sown when Matt Verta-Ray (bass) left his previous employers, Madder Rose. It was his concept to start a less sedate unit meshing the blues with primal rockabilly, but he had to wait until meeting Ward (also from Boston, and formerly the drummer in?span>Blood Oranges) at a mutual friend's wedding.?br>
