saccharine
trust @ the smell 9/18/99
flipside (2000)
We were drunk as hell from Jerome's keg of Dos Equis, and after watching
Oscar De La Hoya get robbed by a misjudged 12 round fight which should have
gone 15 rounds, we toddled down to the smell for Saccharine Trust. Can you
say beatnik jazz from hell? Try this: late 60's/early 70's jazz fusion
with funk bass, too accentuated drum pummeling and guitar that used jazzy
chords smashed out in hardcore, heavy impact rhythm. Jack Brewer's vocals
were 50's beat poetry that droned you into lowering your guard before
spinning madly into violent screaming. Baiza did slide guitar on a song
that sounded nothing like songs which usually had slide on them. In
response to all this, my friends and I (including Jerome of Burning Tree
Records and Jay Naked of Twister Naked) actually got a slampit going for one
of the songs- you can't imagine how silly that was!
