Don't let the name fool ya. These Frenchies were capable of whipping up some outerspaced, sci fi, biker sploodge not too far removed from Hawkind/Chrome/Nicodemus, etc. If I told you they were originally from Detroit, I doubt you'd even question it, as the ghost of the Stooges seems to have infested these recordings. Now, Ill cop to the fact that there are some duds here too, but just skip 'em. The rest is worth it.

ReplyDeletethis guys are great! thank you
ReplyDeleteHey, Evil Eye. I'm glad to see Illinois representing. Haven't been to Peoria since my friend got married there 4-5 years ago.
ReplyDeletethere's an article/interview from Ugly Things, if someone's interested: http://www.angelface.p2001apachefilm.com/Angel%20Face's%20Story.pdf
ReplyDeletedamned good article, but ugly things rarely disappoints. thanks.
ReplyDeleteJerry... who was your friend? If he or she shares your taste in music we (yes, this name represents several Peoria cretins) probably know him or her. You're a class act here, and all the midwest-isms just seal the deal. We're new readers, but we plan on sticking around a while. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteWell, my buddy is from naperville but his wife is from Peoria. So there's no reason that you'd know him. And thanks for the kind words. Maybe I'll have to do an all Illinois day or something.
ReplyDeleteThe link for this one is dead, sadly (and so is the link for the Ugly Things article - seems the angelface website is no more). Could someone please repost this gem? Unavailable anywhere!
