I have a hunch Dave... 17 Years, 11 Months ago

And I am pretty certain it`s Snakefinger, who previously was in the Residents.He made a solo album in about 1990, all the work they had done prior was pretty low-fi, and this sounds in keeping with it.
The bass on the track gave me the clue, as it keeps up with the guitar.
See what you can turn up.

if you're talking snakefinger aka Philip Charles Lithman then its impossible he made an album in 1990 as he died 1987.he made 4 solo albums before his death. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I checked out some Snakefinger MP3`s last night, and his solo work was more in the style of Dick Dale, so I reckon the track is actually the Residents.
I am not good with dates, sadly, I approximated 1990.
The Residents deserve a thread of their own one day, their version of the Stones "Satisfaction", is one of the most eccentric, incredible dins, of all time.
And I adore it still.

strange....the residents have come up more than any other band but hearing them, i'm not convinced. also, the person who origintated the tape never mentioned them..... i'll check some more residents stuff however and see what comes up.

Incidentally, if anybody wants the Residents myth finally blown, you can search for their songs on the www.bmi.com website and find out exactly who they are. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
