to give away as part of a works promotion. These were so offensive that I had to 'rig' the competition so that the winner of their stuff was someone who knew what to expect. So the quiz question was so hard that only two people even bothered to reply.

and indulgent US psychedelic rock. Much given to onstage nudity, atrocity videos and generally being subversive.

Very hit and miss, but some of their stuff, such as the Locust Abortion Technician album, is very good indeed.

does this mean you are deaf?

They could have/should have been one of the most important rock bands of the 80s but were to given over to pot head/slacker humour.

That said all of these albums are fucking killer and the Cargo digipack reissues come with rare EP tracks.

Back then they were spoken of in the same breath as Sonic Youth, or what have you but their inability to stop twatting about and taking drugs eventually sank them.

To answer the original question - they had a different name almost every gig until a few weeks before the release of their first ever EP, which saw an Austin DJ mistake the name of one of their tracks for the band name and then it stuck.

Gibby Haynes, like a lot of figures in the 80s leftfield guitar scene was a trained money man. As were memebers of Big Black and Jesus Lizard, if memory serves.
