Dead C - Vain, Erudite & Stupid

Vain, Erudite & Stupid by Dead C

4...according to our on Sat 18 Nov, 2006.

Speaking of noise one of the early pioneers of such is DEAD C. Messrs Morley, Yates and Russell made a right old cocking racket over in New Zealand long before Peter Jackson and his truckload of orks arrived.. Ba Da Bing have a retrospective called Van, Erudite & Stupid spread over 2 lovely discs. I used to have loads of records by these guys and I gave up the ghost some time back when I found 'em too far too difficult for my fragile tiny mind. So with ears afresh I'm hear again and I have to say the earlier stuff on the disc sounds exactly like early Hood. It's astonishing.... I never realised! As they progress through the years (the comp spans from 88 to 2003) the tunes get less poppy and well...... less tune like. Much noisier and the sticker on the front saying for fans of Wolf Eyes and Sunn O))) seems like less of a marketing ploy now. Very very interesting indeed.....
