Psychotic Distraction

Day #116

Big Chief / Platinum Jive (Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999) / Capital Records / 1994

Major label debut/final album. By this time the band had almost entirely abandoned their riff-heavy grunge sound and moved in a more groove heavy/funk direction.

Day #114

Big Boys / Lullabies Help the Brain Grow & No Matter How Long the Line Is At The Cafeteria, There's Always a Seat! / X-Mist Records / 2004

2XLP reissue of the Austin TX skate punk legends final two albums (1981/1983 respectively). Big Boys are high on my "Bands I Wish I Could've Seen" list, by all accounts Randy "Biscuit" Turner (RIP 2005) was one of the greatest frontmen ever.

Happy Pride Month!
