Loveslug video 1990

Loveslug perform "Slap Your Slug" in Utrecht, Netherlands 1990.
I think we opened for L7 that night.

Rave records compilation #3 (2006)

Another release I didn't know a thing about. This one contains the Loveslug track called "Loser Bar" which was previously released as a split single together with Skin Yard on Glitterhouse (Europe) and Rave Records (USA).

You can buy the song here for $0.99 but as per usual, I have no clue whatsoever where that money goes. It definitely isn't me.

Total clusterfuck

Behold this nifty elaborate Hydromatics family tree, crafted by somebody at bandtoband.com who has been doing their homework.

V/A - Howl fanzine freebies

Another release I totally (like, totally, d00d) forgot about and probably don't even have a copy of myself. These freebie 45's came with the German shortlived (?) but tasteful HOWL magazine ca. 1987. The LOVESLUG track "Quest for Fire" was an outtake from the "Slug 'Em All" album, and appears here unmixed(!), hence the crappy guitar sound. A mixed version would later find its way to the flip of LOVESLUG's "Coyote Date" single.

I took the liberty of lifting this fuckin file off GARAGELAND blog. It also contains tracks by the Miracle Workers, thin White Rope, Venom P. Stinger, Scab Cadillac, Feedtime, King Snake Roost, Ignition, Denver Mexicans, Vanilla Chainsaws, Low Max, Trashing Groove, Destination Zero and Mudhoney.

PICK IT UP - pass is "radiobirdman" or "offlimits", either one.
Figure it out, chief.
