Introducing to RAW RAMP readers the snotty arrogance of FALSE HEADS.

Alchemically mixed with grunge-filled guitars and the kind of…

The Box – Secrets Out (1983)

Costola dei Clock DVA dopo lo scisma seguito al capolavoro Thirst. Finalmente libero da compromessi, in questi solchi il saxofonista Charlie Collins esalta il lato funk più sporco e umano della sua ex band con danze frenetiche ed apotropaiche, proprio mentre nei DVA Adi Newton lo spegneva con Advantage.

A little bit of grunge tied up with a little bit of an off-kilter delivery is the delightfully fun Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant, from the band's 2009 self-titled debut. Their web site bio bills them as slacker funk-punk which I've never heard referred to as a genre', but hey, there seem to be sub-genre's popping up all over the place these days. Let's just call it interesting rock music and be done with it.

Cage The Elephant has a more recent full-length entitled Thank You Happy Birthday (January 2011), which is available from the store link on their web site along with their earlier release and is currently playing the eastern seaboard section of the country. Check them out if you are in one of their tour areas. You can find more information on Cage The Elephant from their MySpace and Facebook pages.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

I have friends who feel the same way about the Red Hot Chili Peppers that I do about the Baltimore Orioles. Neither has been good in two decades, yet we still go on loving them regardless. Sure, I owned & skated to most of their 80's and early 90's records, but like that pair of Jncos, sometimes you have to put that away in the back of your closet. I figure that after you've burnt through a dozen guitarists in 30 years, maybe it's time to hang up your boots.

The best thing they did was stop the whole "socks on cocks" schtick. I guess when your balls start to sag down to your knees, that kind of thing goes from cute to unseemly.

P.S. They gave Dave Navarro an opportunity to make more money AND write a book. Unforgivable.

I'm fucking done with it.
