Been a while since we featured a band from the indomitable Humboldt County, this time around, Hockaloogie, who we featured before with their Houses Of The Oly cassette. There's this Humboldt Punk group on Facebook that I lurk around occasionally and virtually ran into a woman named Kathy Frasier who happens to be married to Tyce, who was the singer. She offered to send me this 7" from a box in her garage, so that we could have it here. Hell fucking yeah! Saw these guys numerous times and played gigs with them at least a couple of times, but brain damage prevents me from recollecting specifics. As a result listening to this 7" was like something fresh and new, not something 22 years old. All and all, this is a pretty killer little record. Real snotty slightly metallic catchy post-punk with a little jazziness thrown in, a sweet combination only a Humboldt band could churn out. Not sure which I like better, the tape or the 7", but it's not a competition is it, they are both very indicative of a extremely vibrant scene Humboldt had in the late 80s, early 90s. The hit on this thing is "Tights" in my opinion and if there's any criticism of the record, it's that there isn't enough music. Thanx to Kathy and Tyce for the putting this in my lap and allowing anyone else who stumbles across this place to have a listen...in a box, in the garage, is no place for good music...
