VIDEO VAULT THURSDAY!
(because exclamation points make all the difference)

It’s baaacckkkkkk...

Mainly because I’m trying to clean out the draft’s cue and I’ve run through the Friday Photo Funnies for the moment. This week’s entry into VIDEO VAULT THURSDAYS is by a band whose former members have names like: Daddy Long Legs, M.S.G., Skip O’Pot2Mus, Tard-E-Tard, Spanky G, Willie the New Guy, Foof, Bubba K. Love.

In March 1996, the band, complete with a new line-up, recorded their second full-length album, One Fierce Beer Coaster, first released on Cheese Factory Records (now Republic Records), and re-released on Geffen Records in 1998. The original release, designed by Michael Calleia at Industrial Strength Design in New York City, contained an actual beer coaster as part of the packaging. They embarked on their first “real tour” of the United States and Europe (they are quoted as saying this was “the first tour where nobody’s parents had to drive out and pick up the band after the van broke down”). It was this album that broke them as a recognisable act in the rock/metal scene of the time, and many tracks from it became rock club staples that would be played for years to come.
