I really love this band.
I like how that DFA compilation, they re-recorded "Bellhead" and STILL sounded hungry.

He was in Konk as well... the other great NYC dance band of the early 80s... (well, aside from the entire Sugarhill roster, of course, among many other examples.)

I can name 100 bands from that period who were better than fucking Konk

Not Crap

I love that Grand Royal anthology.

All that crazy rhythm and percussion done totally smooth, without any white-boy hesitation or awkwardness. This shit is badass

I started my stopwatch. All fucking 100.

GO!

Strange this band comes up.
I sold the s/t CD (sealed) on Ebay a few months ago,
for the record store I worked for, and it
sold for around $100.

I've been so curious to hear what they sound like.
I think I'll look into that now.

i've heard that one fucking song, you know the one. i don't feel like dropping $90 on one thing by one band i might not even dig. that one song is cool though.

white lines....

something like a phenomanon...

You echo my feelings regarding Flipper's "Generic Flipper". Liquid Liquid, though, I like. But not $90 like.

You can get the Grand Royal CD of their entire discography for 20-25 bucks on ebay -- 50-60 tops, if you dont want to sit through a few auctions until you finally win one, and instead want to just Buy It Now. I dont doubt you, but Ive never seen one go for as much as 90.

The only time I ever found Generic Flipper was when it went for $80, which I found so very, very odd. Is it that great of a record that in its out-of-print state it calls for $80? Perhaps I was looking at the wrongest of websites.

I love Flipper. I love Generic Flipper. It's their finest hour, by a lot.

Since Ive had a copy for years, I dont know what it commands on the open market, but I would not pay 80 dollars for it under any conditions.
