ReviewsBAM Magazine - Tinsel Toons by Pleasant Gehman
Groovy Dynamite Heavy Wow is an amazing collection of material from 1982-88. For those of you who don't know, Blow-Up formed in Berkeley, but relocated to LA in 1977. They made their debut at the legendary Masque, and gigged with everyone who was anyone in those days including Berlin, the Dead Kennedys, Jim Carroll, and the Replacements. They made quite a few singles and records; were always raved about by critics; and played raw, raucous rock with cool pop elements. Everyone always used to say they were glam-throwbacks...as in Mott the Hoople, not as in Poison. In fact, they were such a great band and so far ahead of their time that if they were around now, they'd be getting fought over by record companies. |
