REISSUED!!! Released on vinyl in 1992 by the SCREAMIN’ MEE-MEES on their own Dog Face Records, this was the public follow-up to their debut EP unleashed fifteen years earlier in 1977! BRUCE COLE and JON ASHLINE (R.I.P.) made probably the best worst record of the 1970s American punk era; the Live From The Basement EP is right down there with the Germs’ Forming and O. Rex’s 1976 maxi-single. And then came Clutching Hand Monster Mitt! They’re still in the basement, but with better equipment; technique that’s still primitive, but more sure and much more experimental; a style that’s equal parts ACID and STOOPID. Like, there’s a song called Mudflap, but it’s instrumental and has a vibe somewhere ‘twixt The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and the Godz on ESP. Riotous Crowd sets the tone for the whole thing with a kinda cranky paranoid narrative voice describing a world both surreal and mundane (like the Mee-Mees themselves). It goes on for a good while. The whole record’s loaded with similar wah-wah guitar spasms, sloppy perfect drums, and oddball vocals. Dig Visions Of The Dark Pumpkin – Midwestern psycho-somethin’-delic with a shimmering dash of English acid-rock circa ’67. And then comes the gruntspeak of Visual Harm, staggering along like some very twisted Midwestern garage-rock-mutant locked away in a cellar for twenty years with nothing but Krautrock records and cheap beer. Urp. Like the Mee-Mees.
