CRAWLSPACE
Ignorance Is Bliss (Gulcher Records) CD $10
13
blasts of ROCK aimed at your hungry head. This time we've got no less
than eleven new originals plus a couple covers. Here's a quick rundown.
. . .
"(I Am) The Watcher": Remember that bald guy from the Fantastic Four
comic
books? I woke from a dream, and these words flowed directly onto paper.
All wrapped up in total gnarl!
"Blame It On The Universe": Well, you know, you gotta blame SOMEBODY!
And I figure why leave anybody out? Me included, y'know?
"Whatever Happened To Gloria?": Sendin' this one out to Gloria Leonard,
Gloria Stavers, and Wizzard.
"(Here Come) Them Sexy Sixties": What happens when baby-boom chicks get
"old"? So far, it's lookin' NOT BAD AT ALL! The dirty old men of
Crawlspace give thumbs up. Yeah, there's a Rolling Stones
reference--what's it to ya?!
"First I Look At The Purse": Yep, our take on the J. Geils take on the
Contours/Smokey Robinson classic. Gimme some money, honey!
"Vote Yes On 69": Wobblebilly, baby! And the polls close early, so get
on it! B-b-baby, beaver patrol!
"Women In Cemeteries (Throwin' Monkeys)": Hey, does anybody know what
this one's about? Dunno. It sho' do jam, though!
"The Girl's Gettin' Lower": We give you the gift of 21st century
concrete-swamp-rock. Burn it up loud!
"Rt. 1 Box 22N": All right, man, a little breathin' room for a couple
minutes. Pack a bowl and let the delta flow.
"Mark Of Death": Second cover song, this one from the 1973 movie HORROR
HOSPITAL and originally performed by heavy Satan-rockers Mystic (who?).
"Sara Jane!": Remember the chick who tried to shoot Gerald Ford? No,
not the Manson broad--the OTHER ONE! Well, here's a scorcher that tells
you the whole true story. Kinda.
"Not A Heartache": Is it gnu-wave or skunkabilly? Hmmm, you be the
judge, dear listener. Do the push'n'pull!
"Some Shitty Girls": Hey, it's a bit of old-time Crawlspace improv! And
an instrumental to boot. Dedicated to the late, very great Charles
Gocher (Sun City Girls drummer).
Released July 2010. Recorded 2007-2009. With Eddie
Flowers, Greg Hajic,
Joe Dean, and Bob Lee.

CRAWLSPACE
Crawlspace Rears Its Lovely Head, Motherfuckers! (Cauliflower
Dreams; Belgium) CDR OUT OF PRINT
Is this the "last" Crawlspace "noise" release? Hmm? There are two long
tracks recorded and/or mixed during our last spurt of improvised racket
and abstract experimentation. "Rears Its Lovely Head," recorded in
2003, is one of our most controlled free pieces: synthesizers, loops,
and other stuff moving along in
random ways but mapped out and mixed with care. On the other hand,
"Without
an Umbrella" is a storm of guitars, drums, and tons of other crap
recorded back in 1997-1999--but mixed in early 2004. It's an ugly
onslaught of
layered chaos that even we couldn't totally sort out afterwards.
Released May 2007. Recorded 1997-1999, 2003/2004.
Edition
of 100 copies. With Eddie Flowers, Greg Hajic, and Joe Dean.

CRAWLSPACE
The Spirit of '76 (Gulcher Records 607) CD $10
Take me back. Yeah, take me back. Take
me back to where I once beee-longed. (Elvis version of the Fab 4.) Git
back juju. Man, I always hated "retro"--although I always loved
"roots." What's the diff? Who knows, and who cares! After 15 years or
so in the outer regions, the Crawlspace mamaship has touched down on
solid rock again.
Start wigglin' yer toes in mud and rollin' rugs off the floor. What am
I saying here, brothers and sisters? I'm saying . . . LET'S ROCK!
Out in Slippy Town, Republic of California, they got rock and
revolution on their minds. R&R circa 1950-1976 (but time is an
illusion). Revolution coz yeah, war still sux and racism still sux. But
this is
revolution thru tokin' and dancin'--not the kinda bad-vibe methods that
W.'s cabal is using to fug up the whole party. What follows is the
Crawlspace 13-point program, collectively known
as THE SPIRIT OF '76:
1. "Theme For A
Wet T-Shirt Contest" -- The boys in the band jam out
an instrumental intro in honor of perky nipples 'n plump-dimpled butts.
This ain't sexism, sisters, it's bowing before the holy twat.
2. "Califawnia Gurls" -- Original version was from 1976 by the Brooklyn
trio called O. Rex (with upstate NY dude and Gizmos founder Ken
Highland). Hey gals, if you refuse it, you just might lose it! Keep
them snappers from snappin' too hard!
3. "Just Seventeen" -- Heavy Raiders tune from their "hip" 1970 album
COLLAGE. Crawlspace will now paraphrase the prophet John Waters: "If
there's hair, it's fair!" How many puritans does it take to screw in a
light bulb? Nobody knows, because puritans won't admit they screw.
4. "Hey Joe (Version Version)" -- Mutation in action: Patti Smith's
"Sixty Days" intro to her "Hey Joe (Version)" '74 single + the Arthur
Lee/Love arrangement '66 = Crawlspace breathin' in some
folk-rockin' air. The message is pretty muddled here, but yes, there is
anti-Iraq War rhetoric improvised towards the end. I mean, really, man,
can you BELIEVE the 21st century so far?!
5. "Fight For Liberation" -- Crawlspace stands for rock first, but
we're also lefties somewhere down the line. Yes, art always outweighs
politics, but sometimes they get all tangled up in a way that works.
One of the best examples of that is Patrick Sky's 1973 album SONGS THAT
MADE AMERICA FAMOUS. The original of this song was the opening track.
It has a "message"--it's not very subtle--it sez look at the world from
the bottom up. It's also funny!
6. "Take Your War On Vacation" -- This is our own personal rockin' take
on the current insanity. Our philosophy of life: hey man, let's all
just get stoned and forget about it--but if you just can't let it go,
puh-leeze attack the right people and leave the rest of us alone! Can't
we all just get along? Won't you please pass the bong?
7. "Leavin' Here" -- And if we can't find no peace, we might just gotta
be gettin' outta here again! Where's my space suit? We based our
version of Eddie Holland's "Leavin' Here" on the 1965 cover version by
Ron Wood's mod band the Birds.
8. "Space Truckin'" -- Riff! Riff! Bang! Bang-a-bang! Whoosh! We take
Deep
Purple's 1972 classic and throw it in the furnace of our homemade UFO.
Here we go again! Rrrrrrrrrroooooaarrrrrr!
9. "Rat Fink" -- From Allan Sherman's immortal album MY SON, THE NUT
(1963). Crawlspace turns Sherman's version of "Rag Mop" into a stoned
skunkabilly anthem. Everybody sing along: "R - A - T - T F - I
- N - K! Rat fink! Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!" The political
ramifications of this track are open to debate.
10. "Never Never" -- When will we stop rockin'? The title sez it all!
Git on board the rocket ship now! This is the third and final
Crawlspace original here.
11. "Chemicals In The Mail" -- The spirit of . . . '78? That's the year
the original of this killer was released by the C*nts. It's
another song with a strong message: "I just turn the channels till I
get chemicals in the mail."
12. "Erotic Neurotic" -- An abbreviated version of a long punk-rock
song from 1977 by the Saints, quite possibly the best so-called
punk-rock band that ever existed. So sayeth the mighty author of these
words!
13. "Sympathy For The Devil" -- What can be said? Good and evil are
illusions of the human brain. But if forced to choose, rock'n'roll must
choose Lucifer. How'd the Horned One get such a bad rep anyway? This
tune, of course, is the opening track from the best album (released
'68) by the world's eleventh greatest R&R band. Yes, music fans,
the beginning of this track is a jam coming out of a Roky Erickson song
("Children nailed to the cross!"), but we won't tell you which one! As
for the end of the track, yes, there is something wrong with your
stereo--impatient punks can simply turn it off, hippie rockers can pack
another bowl and groove on . . . and on.
Released October 2006. Recorded 2004-2006. Edition of
1000 copies. With Eddie Flowers, Greg Hajic, Joe Dean, and (on one
track) Robin Lehman. Cover painting by Krazee Ken Highland, circa 1973.

OVO "REMIXED"
BY CRAWLSPACE / TREMOR + ERZIEHUNG
American Family / 3 tracks by Tremor + Erziehung
(Cold-Coffein-Addict; Germany / Bar La Muerte; Italy) 7-inch split
single $5
"American Family" was a very brief burst of noise from
the Italian band OvO "remixed" by Crawlspacers Eddie and Greg. We
looped the drums from OvO, and jammed
on top with piping chanter and pennywhistle--then added a bit of
fugged-up patriotic marching-band music, which leads right into the
full OvO piece (only a few seconds long). In spite of the fact that we
created most of the sounds on the track, we didn't get proper credit on
this--the single is presented as a
split between OvO and Tremor + Erziehung.
Released July 2004. Recorded 2001/2002. Edition of 500
copies. With Eddie Flowers and Greg Hajic + OvO.

Melbourne Cabbage Ratio (Carbon Records CR85) CDR $8
Shattered clattering free-rock, noise, and loops from
Crawlspace surrounded by snippets from old-time radio,

(pardon my flatulence). This is where Crawlspace starts diggin' on
premature senility--and stops caring about your
record collection. It's also the fifth release in Carbon's tenth
anniversary CDR series (right on, Joe Tunis!). Yeah, we
think this is a good one.
Released June 2004. Recorded 2002/2003. Edition of 100

Blimp Music Volume 3: The Amphibious Airship Approaches
a Black Hole's Gravity (Slippy Town SLIPTO27) CDR OUT OF PRINT
Third chapter in the adventures of the Crawlspace
dronecraft (volumes 1 and 2 were released in 2000). Eddie Flowers, Greg
Hajic, and Joe Dean using mostly guitars, plus some percussion and a
bit of other live stuff, mixing board and tape deck. Includes the
full-length 31-minute version of "There Is No Law in Nature," which was
edited and remixed down to seven minutes for 2003's LAW WHERE
PROHIBITED BY VOID CD. Plus five other tracks of stoned propeller
drones, deep bellows, simulated motor flatulence, and time running
backwards. This material was previously released in editions of 20
copies on the June, July, and August volumes of Crawlspace's 2003 ROCK
GENERATION
give-away CDRs.
David Keenan, The Wire magazine: " . . . a great formless ugh that
showcases various non-interventionist approaches to the electric
guitar. There are tracks here that seem to consist solely of guitar/amp
feedback loops that are as ear-buckling as the Velvet Underground's
historically-potent 'Sister Ray'
single guitar-amp bootleg. Elsewhere the inspirational combination of
protesting machine noise, construction site percussion and field
recordings (birds, jet engines) recalls the subversive prole-art
strategies of underground UK cells like the A-Band and the New
Blockaders even as the structural drift of
their guitars forces them to up anchor completely and surrender to the
aleatoric operations of the void. Think of them
as a post-Moorcock Hawkwind ditching the sci-fi posturing in return for
unmediated access to internal spaceways and
you're halfway there."
Released April 2004. Recorded 2000-2003. Edition of 100
copies. With Eddie Flowers, Greg Hajic, and Joe Dean.

CRAWLSPACE
Law Where Prohibited By Void (Gulcher Records 416) CD $10
Deep beneath the surfaces of the so-called real world,
located somewhere in the southern Republic of Kalifornia, the three
boy-men called Crawlspace assemble their sounds in the Slippy Town
Lifestyle Studio. Rockin' in the toy box--plastic shiny shells with
tiny digital memories of licks by Hendrix and Page--but also got them
ol' fashion amps and guitars and stuff--fried boogie, flyin' fancies,
rock trance, out grooves, blues power. Invasion of the B
gurlz--'lectronic wheeze 'n free clattering sneeze--records and VHS
loopin' while the big bass waddles like a sleepy duck. Themes from
unsold 1960s cartoon pilots stacked in a corner next to Terry Riley's
unreleased remix of MAGGOT BRAIN explodin' into psychodelic noir and
free-jazzin' seed-poppin' ganja huffs--ridin' the train
back to your third childhood. Doo-wop streetlights from Mama Saturn
flash into droning patterns and stuck-groove memories of KDAY (80s L.A.
hiphop), KAAY (70s Southern hippie), and the rhythmic South-of-border
end-of-dial shiftin' ever outward. All peace to
the whirlin' scratchy presence of the late great Mr. John Lee
Hooker--sometimes even one chord is too many. And then comes the
whiteboy doper blooze: Sabbath's "Into The Void" reconfigured as
semi-acoustic folk-jazz hoodoo hoedown. But there ain't no law
nowhere--that's an illusion of humanity--nature still runs free. Yep.
With 15 tracks and a
total running time of 76 minutes, this is the first manufactured 'Space
release since 1997's ¿Et II Bluto? CD.
Released September 2003. Recorded 1999-2003, except
basic
tracks for "Into the Void" recorded 1994. Edition of 500 copies. With
Eddie
Flowers, Greg Hajic, and Joe Dean. Drawings by Joe Dean.

Another "lost album," almost. For a few months in 1989,
we hit a new (for us) level of group improv, but the only released

"Africa" on our two Sympathy 7-inchers. This is a nice chunk of that
period, including the full versions of the two afore-mentioned jams.

'Shroom-Tit Arithmetic (Slippy Sound 9) 100-minute
cassette OUT OF PRINT
Side one is from a live show at Eagle's Coffee Pub in
North Hollywood. It was once planned as an official CD release, and we
were still going do a CDR following this cassette (didn't happen),
which is the reason for the small run of this cassette. Side two is the
material from the never-released Crawlspace volume of the Ecstatic Yod
Ass Run LP series, which again is why the material was here on a
short-run release, because the Ass Run LP was supposedly still going to
be released as of 1999 (hah!).

Whiteman Darkcloud (Slippy Sound 4) 60-minute cassette OUT OF PRINT
This is similar in approach to NECTAR FLOWS FROM THIS
CHALICE, where we layered three half-hour performances together to
create one chaotic piece, and then did that again with three different
performances for the second side. The difference here is that both
sides consist of the same five layers of improvisations, but done in
radically
different mixes, and in a more sparse fashion than NECTAR FLOWS FROM
THIS CHALICE.
Dedicated to Don Knotts.

ready for stoned kitchen/living room oozings of the weird. Eddie
Flowers' brain is coated with an honest West Coast greatness. Bang on
things, creep along to the slimey path of a mush-mouth keyboard trail.
This tape takes what the all too brief DARK FOLDS LP hinted at, and
stretches it out wide, wide, nice 'n' relaxed."

Nectar Flows from This Chalice (Slippy Sound 1)
60-minute cassette OUT OF PRINT
What we did here was create a 16-track reel with three
half-hour improvisations recorded next to each other (i.e., we'd record
on tracks 1 through 4 for half an hour, and then start recording again
at the same place on
tracks 5 through 8, and then do it a third time). We mixed those three
performances together into one half-hour chaotic flow. Then we did it
again with another 16-track reel, to create
another three-layered half-hour piece. Those two pieces make
up this cassette.

Tony Rettman, 200 Lb. Underground magazine: "The even

Home-recorded (on 16 track) LP which introduced a
collective-improv approach to Crawlspace. Cover photo of Clara Bow.
Fred Mills, Magnet magazine: "Some tracks here involve
the cut-up, paste/splice aesthetics of serious Burroughs disciples,
while others invite squinty-eyed comparisons to Ornette Coleman, Faust,
and even the Beatles. The
small symphony squawkings of 'Scungilli' could be misheard
as outtakes from old cartoon soundtracks; the dada-esque twang and
marching kazoo band thump of 'Another Fine Mess' sound like the Godz
playing Beefheart."

Byron Coley, Ecstatic Yod website: "It was on this
record
that Crawlspace really began to show their potential. From the
unexpected
opening gambit--an exploration of Ornette's 'Theme from a
Symphony'--into
a very stoned valley of free rock space, this is the sound of acid
transmuting
garage rock fans into prophets of truth. Eddie Flowers is one of the
strangest
visionaries rock music has thus far produced and his attempts to name
the
unknown here are nothing short of glorious. For reasons I cannot
comprehend
this band remains below the radar of all but a few people who truly
breathe
w/ all their holes open."

Byron Coley, Forced Exposure magazine: "Loose, juiced,
brilliant acid-mumble-sprawl by the west coat's kings
of lost chordage. Allowed 66 minutes to roam the
walls at will, Crawlspace conjure up a world where twang = drone = fuzz
= bup, and the look of everything melting is as natural as an
un-de-fleeced pubis."
David Sprague, Request magazine: "Not since the heyday
of
ESP Records has head music been pushed to the glorious extremes
Flowers'
crew reaches. Those who've dreamed of a Can/Stooges jam session should
consider the members of this formidable quintet their
Prince Charmings."
Yvonne Garrett, Rip magazine: "Crawlspace aren't easily
accessible. Their music is more likely to consume the listener
with its meandering guitars leading into
walls of sound. . . . [Eddie's] lyrics have a warped but strong poetry
to them. . . . Drop one or two and turn it

Fred Mills, The Bob magazine: "Few will call this
psychedelic in the usual sense, but [Crawlspace's version of Can's
'Little Star of Bethlehem'] is truly an epic, mind-numbing vinyl
experience. Furthermore, the band makes with the punk noize to such an
extent that comparisons to other bands don't do justice. . . . This is
one of
the best albums of the year, and an archetype of Americana at that--you
don't file it 'tween Cramps and Creedence for nothing, y'know!"
