As you might have guessed from the song titles, this isn’t the Long Island outfit of the same name. Far from it, both sides are instrumentals borrowing from the YARDBIRDS and ELECTRIC PRUNES, but doing pretty toned-down semi-psych stuff. Nothing to rave (up) about.
Greg Prevost and company again comes through with great ’60s punk from the ’80s. The “monaural” sound and snot-nosed vocals give this 45 an amazingly authentic feel, so much so that I’m actually reminiscing. But you don’t have to have been a teenage asshole in 1966 to enjoy it today—it’ll still drive your neighbors crazy.
’50s horror hostess Vampira and SATAN’S CHEERLEADERS team up for a truly bizarre single. The aging star of “Plan 9 From Outer Space” moans, groans and intones, while the band does a pretty good CRAMPS imitation. Cool and crazy.
