'In the Night!!!'
A perfect musical segue and an even more perfect soundtrack to your Halloween BBQ and Dance Party. Famous Monsters (the band, not the magazine) consists of Devil Doll (a post-White Zombie Sean Yseult), Vampire Girl (a post-NY Loose Brijitte West) and Shezilla (Carol Cutshall)...serve up utterly silly, spooky garage-surf mayhem for the whole family (if you're the Adams Family that is).
Nothing at all revolutionary here, but certainly a whole mess of fun. Think of a female version of Man or Astroman, except w/ sound a little more garage than surf (ala The 5,6,7,8's) and a shtick more vintage horror/saturday morning cartoons than sci-fi. Some tunes stand out more than others...the title track, 'Outerspace Deathrace No. 13', 'Hairy Eyeball' and 'Satan Sends a Rat!' Throw in two great covers from Cheap Trick and The Groovie Ghoulies...more fun than a shrunken head!
Kind of hard to find, as it's both out of print and not on iTunes...but worth nabbing a used copy or obtaining by whatever other means suits you best. I've put the rocking lead-off track in the sample area, crank it up and wake the dead!
