Cows



The Cows were a noise rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band formed in 1987 and disbanded in 1998. They were known for a unique mixture of punk rock and blues played with large amounts of noise; their music can be considered noise rock.
Some say that the group's most acclaimed album is 1992's Cunning Stunts.

The band was notorious for their raucous live performances. Acts the band have performed onstage include kicking people in the front row, spitting on the stage, throwing the microphone stand into the crowd, throwing food at the crowd, drawing on themselves, among others. Lead singer Shannon Selberg's trademark is that he has a tattoo illustrating the game Hangman on his body that reads "F_CK" and another tattoo of an anchor with the word "DAD" on top of it. One reviewer wrote about the band's shows, "I have no doubt that The Cows know how to play their instruments. What I don't understand is why they refuse to tune them."
Their singer, Shannon Selberg, has gone on with music, fronting the Heroine Sheiks.

Didjits



Didjits were an American punk rock band formed in Mattoon, Illinois in 1983, comprised Rick Sims (a.k.a. Rick Didjit) on guitar/vocals, Doug Evans on bass, and Rick's brother Brad Sims on drums. Didjits was known for the aggressive guitar playing and persona of Rick Sims, who often baited the audience between songs, and took plenty of abuse for it. Moreover, the band also added odd stunts and theatrical bits to some of their stage shows, particularly when playing in Chicago and Champaign.
They released their first album in 1987 on Bam Bam Records and disbanded in 1994. Brad Sims left the band in 1992. Former Scratch Acid drummer Rey Washam filled in for the Little Miss Carriage EP, and Todd Cole eventually took over as the drummer.
The band's following solidified with the release of Hornet Pinata, which equaled, if not bettered, it's predecessors:
1987 Fizzjob (Bam Bam Records)
1988 Hey Judester [includes Fizzjob] (Touch and Go Records)
1989 Fizzjob (T&G) [re-release]
1989 Lovesicle 7" (T&G).

The album was littered with memorable riffs and careening, pile driving rhythms, and perhaps the best set of lyrics on any Didjits record. Whether it was Rick Sims telling the story of a one-legged drug dealer who stored his stash in his peg leg in "Lone Lone Ranger" ("just touch my leg/and Santa Claus'll get you high"), offering a put down in "Evel Knievel" ("it takes a better woman than you baby/to call me a slut") or the pearls of wisdom dripping from "Sweet Sweet Satan" ("c'mon let me tell you my recipe/it takes 10 tons of bullsh*t/for 10 ounces of glory"), the album is a cackling joyride. It leads off with "Killboy Powerhead", later covered by The Offspring on their Smash album, has a worthy cover of The MC5's "Call Me Animal" and sloppy bash through Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady", with Doug Evans on lead vocals. The band shot a video for "Captain Ahab", an excellent midtempo song featuring some of Sims' most memorable guitar lines, which MTV refused to play due to drug references in the lyrics. Nevertheless, a clip of the video was shown on MTV's 120 Minutes show, and the clip contained some of those drug references.
I myself never saw Captain Ahab, but Sweet Sweet Satan video clip, which blew my mind right away. When somebody asks me what is rock I say Didjits.

All of the original members of the band appeared at the Touch and Go 25th anniversary celebration in Chicago, Illinois on September 9, 2006. [1] The next weekend, the band played another reunion show in Champaign. Both shows were extremely well received.

Bailter Space


Bailter Space (a.k.a. Bailterspace) was an atmospheric noise rock band that formed in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1986 as Nelsh Bailter Space; they had previously recorded as The Gordons. Its members were Alister Parker (guitar, bass), John Halvorsen (bass, guitar), and Brent McLachlan (drums/percussion, samples). After releasing seven studio albums, numerous EPs/singles, and a career retrospective compilation, Bailter Space is assumed to be on hiatus or disbanded as of 2007
After several releases on Flying Nun, fledgling New York City indie label Matador Records signed them for release in the United States, in approximately 1990. Thermos was actually intended to come out on Matador, and it even has a (blank) roster spot in the official Matador discography; however, Matador never released a Bailter Space full-length until Robot World. The 1992 The Aim EP was the band's first official U.S. release. The band moved to New York City during the 1992 Robot World sessions, and would end up living there on a fairly permanent basis. The EIP EP was released, containing slightly-remixed versions of two Robot World tracks and two that would appear on the forthcoming Vortura.
I became endlessly hooked on them after seeing EIP video on MTV's 120 minutes hosted by Henry Rollins, and I never stopped being a true fan. Allthough Vortura is a more agressive and focused work, Robot World is my first love and my favourite Bailter Space album
