THIS AIN'T OVER, HUNS!

Okay, here's the deal. A song called "Wild Man"? I'm gonna bite. I don't care what type of music it is, I'm not going to pass it by without hearing it. This time I wasn't disappointed. While it's not as over-the-top wild as the title would imply, it does kick some semi-serious ass, sounding like something that might come from the Cramps arsenal, particularly at the 2:30 mark. And lest you think that the kids inhabiting the stage in the above photo don't have a little bit of wild in them, there's this snippet from an interview at 60s Garage Bands:  

"We had two songs we were going to record; they were ‘Genie’ and ‘Wild Man.’ The Huns came to our practice at Lloyd’s house and stole ‘Genie.’  They renamed it ‘Shakedown.’ They rushed into the studio and recorded it first and released it.  We were furious!  We went as a mob to Dean Coley’s house (their bass player).  His father was their manager, so we stood out in the street and tried to get them to come out and fight." 

Hey, ol' man Coley, watch yer back!

re: Battle of the Bands (Tamrons vs. Huns)

Funny thing Tom; the Huns are on that BFTG CD (/on the vol. 4 LP) too, flaunting their stolen goods – "Shakedown" aka "Genie"!

Hey E,
Thanks for the reminder that those BFTG series compilations have been on my list for way too long. I don't have a one, which tells you what a tightwad I am.

Boy, your buddies the Cavebones really rip Charlie Feathers a new one! If I didn't know the song, I would never have guessed the origin.

Hope you and the rodents are enjoying your summer!
