The early documentation of life "after The Flag" for our boy Hank.
Here's the beginning of the team-up with guitar-beast Chris Haskett - an alliance that would last for many records, and if you dig around in the L-R V archive deep enough you can find an interesting solo record by Mr. Haskett himself.
Plenty of hot-shit cover songs performed here, as well as some of the usual Rollinsism/double-speak backed by a solid and raw lineup behind him.
Shades of things to come, a rarity for sure, and a nice blast from the past if you ask me...
cool stuff, roy hooked me up with this once. the first rollins band release is a tour split with Dutch band GORE, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Hank Rollins Band
ReplyDeleteHocus Pocus is a great book
"when the excrement hit the air-conditioning"
This is worth it just for the cover Wire's "Ex-Lion Tamer."
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites from years ago!!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYep, I enjoyed the hell out of that book, finished it last night...
ReplyDeleteYou shoul dhook me up w/ that, Maarty ;)
ReplyDeleteThese records rarely get mentioned when people discuss Rollins, and i think they're easily his best solo material. After My War, these 2 records are my favorite Rollins-related music period. A Man and a Woman is pure madness.
ReplyDeleteHOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD THIS?!
ReplyDelete"HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD THIS?!"
ReplyDeleteWell...
1). YOU GET YOUR BIG BOY PANTS ON.
2). Get your head out of your ass and CLICK THE OBNOXIOUSLY LARGE GREEN BUTTON THAT SAYS "DOWNLOAD"' ON IT.
3). Stop being a dumbass and CLICK THROUGH TO RAPIDSHARE.
4). Learn how to fucking read, CLICK "FREE USER"'
5). While you're waiting for the download timer to countdown, think about how stupid you are for not being able to figure it out all on your own.
6). Click the big blue button that says "DOWNLOAD" on it - got it? - and make sure to not leave a comment - I love that...
7). IT IS PROBABLY BETTER TO POST ANONYMOUSLY IF YOU ARE THAT CLUELESS ABOUT HOW TO DOWNLOAD FROM A BLOG - GO GET "GNAR" ON YOUR ROLLERBLADES INSTEAD.
(That was fun)
