Frightwig.
Ok, so I wasn’t really planning to leave that last dumb post at the top of the page for more than a day or two, but life got in the way, etc.
To give you a taste of the kind of urgent investigations that have been consuming my spare time when I should have been writing new stuff here, here’s another dumb video post.
Specifically, here’s a band called FRIGHTWIG, who’ve previously escaped my attention, bringing sloppy, f-ed up downer-punk and unhinged singing-drummer mania to Berkeley, California, 1987.
It’s a shame they didn’t have ladyfests back in 1987 - these guys’d hit the joint like a cheesegrater.
A brief survey of their later (presumably ??) recorded output on Youtube reveals ‘the grunge sound’ and a lot of immoderately applied wah-wah, but no matter - this video shreds.
