Napalm Beach, Snow Bud and the Flower People, Divining Rods, Boo Frog
A live version of R&R Hell probably from early 1982 (some of it makes me think of a 2004 Katastrophy Wife song called “Liberty Belleâ€). The photos show Sam Henry on drums, Chris Newman guitar/vox, and Mark Nelson on bass. In the photos, Chris, who usually wears black, is wearing Courtney Love’s camel-colored overcoat… or is it caramel-colored? She lived in the Napalm Beach band house in 1981.

This album was recorded in drummer Sam Henry’s mother’s garage on 4-track and distributed on cassette, mostly at shows, in Portland and Seattle. Thank you Jeff Larson of Sonic Recollections, Portland, Oregon for buying this cassette in 1985, and digitizing it in 2011.

(Funhouse) You’ve gotta have old-fashioned, Monster Squad–style Wolfman ‘nads to name a song “Bong Hit,” especially if you go the full distance by starting the song with a bubbling sound effect and ensuring the lyrics are entirely about doing hits from a bong (“Bong hit/It’s the shit”) without even making the most perfunctory gestures toward a high-minded metaphor or two. But Snow Bud and the Flower People have ‘nads to spare; they’re as subtle as a Cheech and Chong movie, but they back up all the weed talk by being a super-solid garage-rock psychedelic band. They’re like Reverend Horton Heat’s younger stoner brother, barreling out of the garage to bring weed and hot licks to the people. PAUL CONSTANT
