How much have you heard about their catalog?

Mascodagama wrote: I haven't explored Sun City Girls as much as I'd like, though I do have and rate fairly highly Torch of the Mystics. It doesn't help that most of their stuff is OOP and difficult / expensive to buy. I have some solo albums of Richard Bishop, SCG guitarist, that are mainly him on acoustic guitar and some piano. He's a mesmerising guitarist, also fully self-taught I believe. Fingering the Devil is a good one. An interesting character: as well as a musician I understand he's an occultist and dealer in rare occult books. When I say occultist I mean that he's a practising sorceror who, from what I've read, obtains magical power from an entity he knows as Kali.

I had no idea about the latter (I mean, I knew Rick Bishop was strange but I didn't think so hehe). As I understand it, the cassettes are considered anthological relics by the little mass reproduction (or more or less I think it was like that), I personally have only listened to your material in MP3 (Bandcamp, YouTube and other sites) mainly because of my lack of financial resources (but let's face it ..... who wants to realize that ...)

(If I don't want to admit it is why I cheated with Google ;) Ok, now I'm lost. Lol. You looked up the band the Lemon Kittens on google? Yes, that is cheating. Lol. We all cheat though.  You can find them on youtube too. They are a bit experimental and have punkish elements kind of like sun city girls(who I haven't listened to much yet). You might like Pere Ubu also.

Thanks for the recommendation (and above all the patience ).

Do you remember what Charles Gocher was like? I'm sure he was a cool but weird guy ...

My prized possession is a vinyl box set of Dante’s Disneyland Inferno, 3 LPs and a detailed booklet, both filled with grotesque insanity. Pretty overwhelming discography. Which ones do you have (or have heard?) Torch Of The Mystics and Horse Cock Phener were my introduction,It's funny that you mentioned the DDI since in fact last week I was listening to it (and I still don't know what to do with it ..... I think it's funny nonetheless.) PS: my favorite is HCP and the worst of all is that I don't even know why XD HCP is pretty high on the “explicit lyrics” scale, if I recall. Something about Nancy Reagan It’s not often I come across their albums, so when I do, I’ll buy it. And I have a bunch on mp3 now too, acquired through both legal and questionable means Think I’ll go on Discogs and see what’s for sale there…

The old reliable ..........

PS (again): I think HCP is my favorite because it is more ..... "crazy and silly" than heard from them (Cloaven Radio is my favorite song of them of course)

LOL
