HA!
afreeta referenced The Judy’s this morning in her post. she rawks the house for doing this.
for most of you, this means absolutely nothing, but to anyone who was a survivor of Houston in the 1980s, The Judy’s were a local band from Pearland, a quasi town/suburb south of Houston, that reached the true cult escelons with two albums they penned around 1984 or 1985, which left an indelible impact on a slew of kids who felt like complete outcasts (**raises hand**) in the dirty Concrete Shockwave that was Houston and its forlorn surroundings.
to my knowledge, once their small indie label went out of print and out of business (which happened before 1990, i know this much), their discography vanished into the thin-air unknown, and none of the songs saw the light of day on compact disc (although i’m beginning to question that now). i remember them having the lyrical satirism of The Dead Milkmen, with elements of melody and style found later in Heavenly and an energy that was positively not Houstonian.
nevertheless, as afreeta mentioned, today is the anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre, and to commemorate it, here are The Judy’s with “Guyana Punch”!
[god, i feel like i'm in front of a live microphone, right next to a request line, all over again.]
next music-cultish post from the 1980s: either The Pukka Orchestra (Toronto) or Limited Warranty (Minneapolis).
