I had forgotten all about Los Saicos, those Peruvian skull splitting rascals. I ran into their "El Entierro De Los Gatos" ("The Cats' Funeral") while poking around Halloween posts, and you know where that led. Listen to the first few down there and you'll see why I veered off course. So many wild things going on here, You will note the vocals, right out of the gate. Erwin Flores, the lead singer, sounds like the missing link between Clarence "Frogman" Henry and Reverend Beat-Man. There might be two of you who would understand that. I don't care. I'm not going to dumb it down to avoid sounding like an asshole. Just listen to them, This is some crazy shit. Let's just say that if you like 'em raw, you will eat these for dinner. And get a load of the photo below. Nice accessory. huh? Don't try to translate their name, just read it out loud. That's way more accurate.
