The Gay Communists
"STRIKE AGAIN!"
Long, long ago in 2009 the Tacoma-based improv band, "The Gay Communists" started off on an ambitious project: Create an album with 30 songs no matter how bad they are. No one knows why. The lead musicologist Matlock went though her old hard drive and found one thousand un-finished songs and added alittle sugar and spice (Yes, the kind from Frank Herbert's "Dune") and then put a microphone in front of anyone who would put up with it. They then forced the person to sing lyrics to these un-finished music tracks. No re-takes, no rehearsing, just the pure sound of spontaneous lyrics.
"I don't want to say that The Gay Communists are the next Beatles, but I'm going to anyway"
-Henry Rollins
"By far the most original and un-mixed thing I've heard in a very long time.I hope these guys and gals learn to master soon because the qualtiy of the recordings is the only thing keeping this album from getting a perfect 10"
-Brad Crandle, "Rolling Sone"
