New Pressing of Live Snakefinger Vinyl[]
Saturday, February 2 2019, 7:31pm
Secret Records is making a new pressing of their live Snakefinger release, this time on magenta vinyl. So if you missed out on it earlier, here's your chance to get it.
Snakefinger is best known for his guitar work on The Residents 13th Anniversary Tour and multiple studio albums as well as his own solo albums released on Ralph Records between 1979 and 1987. Live In Melbourne 1981 features an often forgot about time when he had just begun playing live, often under the name "Snakefinger and The Dead Residents" or "Snakefinger and Bast". Songs from his 1979 and 1980 LPs (Chewing Hides The Sound and Greener Postures) are played here as revved up punk songs that crush the studio versions.
