Reviews:

Ah Montreal… Ah Canada… I was just there you know…really… I was up visiting Shaun Anagram, record shopping and all that jazz… They didn’t have the jazz festival going on, but I still had a blast… There are all these sex shops up there…it’s weird… New York has gotten so clean with that stuff…I’ve forgotten… It’s like people can’t get laid up in Montreal or something so they need all these sex shops, even the women… What they really NEED is more drugs…
Anyway, that’s where the Scat Rag Boosters were from…Montreal. A lofi roar of garage rock ‘n’ roll much like those southern belles at Goner Records. If you’re into the Oblivians/Reatards/Persuaders vibe then you HAVE to hear the ‘Booster…R.I.P… Yeah, they’re long gone…but vinyl…that shit lives FOREVER! IMMORTALITY! (JD)

GB02: Los Huevos - "Manlove"



Band
: Los Huevos
Title: Manlove
Release Date: 1998
Catalog Number: GB 02
Notes: 300 copies
Format: 7" record
Speed: 45rpm




Tracklist:

A: Manlove B: Maserati

Band Members:

Scott Soriano (vocals, guitars), Chris Woodhouse (drums), Jason Patrone (bass)

Reviews:

Cantankerous, clamorous, and furious, Los Huevos are a garagey sludge of rock! If you like the Motards, and the rest of the Texas Tussle, find yourself a Los Huevos record. Like it raw, get with Goodbye Boozy. This record is way limited to 300, so shake a leg Rocko! (JD)

I got an email from a guy asking if I had any copies of this 7" available and, if not, than perhaps I could send him an MP3 of it. I learned my lessons in school, if I am gonna give one person an MP3, I better share it with the class.So here you are. These two songs came from Los Huevos' last recording session. It was done in The Loft by Chris Woodhouse on a 4-track cassette recorder. Woodhouse was also playing drums. With Jason Patrone, Woodhouse was the last (and best) Los Huevos rhythm section. These guys were a machine and after Los Huevos died, they were the foundation of the Pretty Girls.Manlove is an original. It is about a light rail stop in suburban Sacramento, called Manlove. It is also about street hustlers turning tricks on public transit (Gonna buy a ticket/Gotta buy a trick/at Manlove). We ripped off Hubble Bubble and the Gang of Four for this one.The flip is a cover of a song by Crime. Los Huevos had a rule that if we covered a song, we had to make it ours, for better or worse. I think we did that for the better on this one. The song Maserati is great, one of Crime's best. Unfortunately they recorded it when they were in their "new wave" phase and so it never got the Crime sound that made them legendary. It originally came out on B-Square records in 1980. The flip is a song called Gangster Funk.
