Grifters/Fluffy Kitty split 7" (Cherry Smash Dildozer b/w I Had *Disclaimer- I've only heard this record two and a half times (Grifters x 3, FK x 2)... The Grifters cut is a good, solid specimen, but contrary to what I expected, the Fluffy Kitty cut is the one that really intrigues me. I had never heard of FK before I got this record, but they have really drawn me in and just yesterday I sent off for more info. I am anxiously awaiting some excellent mailbox candy. A note to the aesthetes: Comes with a neato hand screened sleeve.

Big Drag 7" (Unclean) Gotta Let Me Go b/w I'm a Lonesome Fugitive God, and I said the Hormones single was catchy. The a-side is sweet, sweet stuff, and they show their country roots on the b-side. I guess it'll hold me till their full-length record comes out.

Satans 7" EP (EV Records) Get Off My Back & Ain't Gotta Choose b/w (I Can) Only Give You Everything & Run Motherfucker *It's hard to believe this record really exists, but believe it, baby. People listen to this record everytime right before they say "scorchin'." If you don't have a garage, but you want to feel like you're in one (for some reason), get this record- it really works. Oh, and send some shit (and I mean shit) to your favorite Satan c/o the Satans Fan Club.

Ok so, here's the Satans review for this issue.

Satans 9/9/94 Hole In The Wall: Sean is the single most rockinest drummer I have ever known. Mysteriously, he never breaks anything. Heath is a rock star, cranking that guitar/amp connection. Brock holds down the rhythm fort without even breaking a sweat -- or messing up his hot hairdo. And Hunter is the perfect frontman, raisin' hell and forgetting his lyrics. There you have it. The Men. The Satans.

THEN: Some guy named Justin had a party at Emo’s on Sunday 10/16. I don’t know him but he had the Satans, the Motards & the Cryin’ Out Louds playin’ his party, so he must be cool. I got sick of Emo’s before the Motards & the COLs played, but I did catch the itty-bitty Satans set. They’re good to their fans at least, they played most of their hits in the (?) 20-minute show. They did the Guido Sarducci version of Slugger - just one time through. It left me wanting more, but I was pleased (albeit drunk).
