The Statics - Rat City. Rip-Off Records LP. RIP OFF #005.

Finally, the first LP from Seattle's greatest band of pre-school garage punkers. Second LP and some demos and stuff to follow soon enough. Does anybody know what Zack Hoppenrath is up to these days? I hope he finally completed his collection of rare Billy Childish singles (or realised that, like painting the Forth Road Bridge, collecting Billy Childish vinyl is a never-ending task). Enjoy.

The Statics - Super Electro Records EP.

The Statics were a bunch of kids, mainly Master Zack Hoppenrath, from Seattle who charmed the cynics of the garage punk scene into releasing their music. In this case, Steve Turner out of Mudhoney, who released this EP on his very own Super Electro Sound Recordings label. The sound is very much that William Hampshire-inspired Seattle garage sound. Comes complete with a cover of the Supercharger 'standard' (arf) Sooprize Package for Mr. Mineo.
