 moreSIDE ONE:

DICK RABBIT “You Come On Like A Train” is the earliest recording on
this ride, 1968 out of Bay City, Michigan, with cutting edge downer explosive
heavy fuzz sludge intro moves and killer invasive riff damage akin to top level
toxic early Blue Cheer. Keeping it extra real, this band are three biological
brothers Gordon, Phil and Rich Thayer. In sync with the jaw dropping heavy
guitar riff are terrific lyrics like “I can see things inside your
brain”, “I can hear things I can’t see” and “I
can see things I can’t touch... give it to me”... total bypass
romance, cut to the chase girl grabber action with the cocky attitude only a
young dude fresh on the hunt can pull off with no hint of stalker creepiness. To
top it off the guitar break has full on echoing Jimi moves. This track resides
in the perfect sweet spot where psychedelic action morphs into wasted proto
downer hard rock. Dick Rabbit also had an impossibly rare second 45 issued in
1969 where they cover Donovan’s 1966 acid classic “The Trip”
(spelled charmingly wrong as ‘Donavan’ on the label). Extra cred in
my book for having such an outrageous band name for 1968!

BLIZZARD “Be Myself” out of Oklahoma City in 1974 makes a solid case
for toughening up your attitude towards society, how I live is “not yours
to decide” I’m gonna be myself, fuck off if you can’t dig
that. The backup vocals emphasize the theme of the song by repeating the title,
an instant in-your-head mega hook perfectly offset by the gnarly guitar attacks.
One of the key elements on this and most of the tracks on The Nineteenth Trip is
the fully engaged drumming, not merely keeping the beat, flying all over the
place like another lead instrument kicking ass in a street fight!

FOX “Sun City - Part II” was unleashed in 1969, a very rare 45 on
the Studio 10 label out of San Francisco, same label and year as the better
known Day Blindness LP led by guitar/vocalist Gary Pihl. The Hammond organ
psychy dosed proto heavy vibe of the LP is surpassed here brutally as Gary
strips the sound down to a two chord fried power trio stalker, deranged in your
face vocal attitude, inscrutable lyrics, a primitive no frills guitar break with
an arrogant abrasive tone. Gary Pihl later found fame by joining the classic
rock band Boston... this crude toxic burner is as far removed from that highly
produced radio friendly sound as imaginable... it goes straight for the throat,
no tarting things up for chart success, the undiluted real deal. You can smell
the gritty vibe here as vividly as you can hear it!

SWEET WINE “Bringing Me Back Home” expands the variety of early hard
rock action on The Nineteenth Trip backwards into time. No psychedelic comedown
hangover here, this track is straight up bluesy boogie shuffle rock about being
on the road and needing to get down with his woman back home. Issued in 1970 in
Virginia, Minnesota with southern rock moves more appropriate to Virginia the
state... actually bands like this were sprouting up locally everywhere in the
country north south east west at the time, so uncannily similar in their roots
rocking bar band sound that they flash on some secret ‘Invasion of the
Body Snatchers’ style plot to bring rock out of the pipe dreams of
psychedelia and back home to women and booze.

ENOCH SMOKEY “Roll Over Beethoven” is sequenced perfectly after
Sweet Wine to close out side one with more twisted roots inflected rocking. The
Chuck Berry classic feels like an odd side trip from the general thrust of Brown
Acid post ‘60s downer derangement material but in keeping with the wide
variety of proto hard rock styles these wide-angle trips present, it fits right
in. They attack the song from a new angle, retaining some glimmers of its
original rock and roll oldie feel but changing everything else up in light of
the times, 1969 out of Iowa City on Pumpkin Seed Records. They retool the
structure, change up the drums, add a cool descending chord section to the break
with the guitar ripping it up throughout in hard rock overkill style, leaving
the classic Berry guitar moves out of the picture. That’s what makes it
seem familiar and new at the same time, nice job of fucking with perspective.

SIDE TWO:

FLIGHT “Get You” is the flip side to the awesome
“Luvin’, Huggin’ & More” which appeared on The Sixth
Trip. Vic Blecman is the legendary genius behind this ludicrously cool come on
song, the vocals are ridiculously to the point, the guitars crunching it up. It
gets right in your head like you already know it the first time you hear it. Vic
was in the ‘60s garage band the Cavemen, was a DJ on WGCL radio in
Cleveland, and issued some wacky space novelty 45s some years after this double
sided killer emerged from Elyria, Ohio in 1974. He also owned a swinging singles
adult disco there... a local renaissance man hustler in true American
entrepreneur style!

QUICK FOX “Indian” out of Berkshire in western Massachusetts in 1978
has the only ‘60s psychedelic embers still sizzling prominently
undisguised on this trip. The guitar attack flashes back to late ‘60s Wild
West coast cross talk turf like Moby Grape, Tripsichord, Quicksilver with some
rudimentary progressive ambitions and trebly power chords, dual guitar weavings
with no hint of bluesy attitude in the wistful dark vocal arrangements.
It’s a haunted and reflective lament for the fate of the Indians on the
surface, but the jacked up high energy tension in the stormy musical
undercurrent supercharges those harmonies with urgency. Gnarly but lyrical
guitar patterns hallucinate this guitar feast right out of space and time,
taking this Nineteenth Trip back into some bleak disillusioned lost world that
can only be escaped by giving up on the dream this series continually sabotages.

BONJOUR AVIATORS “The Fury In Your Eyes” obliterates whatever
mystical fumes are left hanging in the air from the previous track and shoves
you headfirst into dive bar woman trouble. The guitar riffs are raw and basic
with scattershot licks flying about as the singer struts his stuff and it
backfires, he pisses the chick off as indicated by the name of the song. The
title ‘The Fury In Your Eyes’ is repeated over and over in classic
genius bonehead fashion, a hook that misses the mark in any remotely musically
clever manner but totally wins the day as it is so brilliantly matched to the
words. Quick Fox were on the scene in Boston in 1976, playing at the Rat
alongside bands like the Real Kids and DMZ that were carrying the torch of
‘60s and early hard rock locally in the slump years between the original
‘60s garage and hard rock explosion and the emergence of the late
‘70s street rock, punk and power pop scenes. You can hear some
radio-friendly moves in the guitar breaks but otherwise these guys keep it raw.
They also have a dose of glam rock star attitude in the mix... the pic sleeve
includes a credit for their hair dresser!

CEDRIC “I’m Leavin’” is a work of utterly primitive
savage genius, the crudest track on the Nineteenth Trip, not only capable of
blowing the groovy ‘60s hippie chick flower power love world into
oblivion... these dudes throw a wrecking ball into even the possibility of
having meaningful relationships. This jaw dropper is an early effort by the
Totty brothers, Dennis and Byron, issued on the local Tulsa, Oklahoma label
Derrick, which also released the mega rare Marble Phrogg LP. The brothers made a
killer private press hard rock LP in the mid ‘70s using the name Totty and
scored big time gigs opening for bands like ZZ Top and Grand Funk Railroad back
in the day. BUT... wrap your head around this, what a way to kick your career
off! They play with a minimal unfiltered brash intensity that makes even calling
this track a ‘song’ seem fancy and uptight. It’s more like a
semi-conscious primal youth rant fest dominated by harsh aggressive rhythm
guitar with hyper scattershot stormy drumming topped off by a vocal that reaches
the pinnacle of deluded confusion... the girl he takes home from the party is
seriously messing up his head even though he’s getting exactly what he
wants, his own attitude and depiction of her are both totally fucked up, as
fucked up and powerful as the primal noise this whole mess assaults you with.
The lyrics and vocal delivery are truly deranged, you’ll see! Prime
example of capturing the core essence of hard rock in such an unfiltered way it
feels like the first time every time into eternity. Not a record here... real
life on rampage!

ZANE “Step Aside” takes things in a way different direction to close
out the Nineteenth Trip, shifting gears totally from the brutal garage intensity
of the previous track. It’s time to escape off into space! Zane come on
like some lowball sci-fi B-movie out of Malmo, Sweden in 1976, a bizarre stew of
sounds to finish the ride. ‘Step Aside’ uses a hypnotic fuzz buzz
minimal two chord groove to locate it somewhere in the outer limits of mad
scientist lab progressive trance rock with double-time hi-hat moves, cheap
electronic effects, synth gurgles all evoking an alienated futuristic
Krautrock/Hawkwind space rock zone leaning into early glimmerings of DIY
pre-punk/wave humor and weirdness. The fake progressive moves herein come off
more like burlesque and that’s a compliment, key to the appeal of the
track. It’s knowingly outrageous, an entertaining pose where the vocals
intentionally wind you up into an ominous but funny sense of lurking doom.
Analyzing it will just spin you in circles, surrender to the preposterousness
and I guarantee this bonkers slice of insanity will get you cracking up in the
best possible way!
