Album Description

Honest, sweaty, garage-music. This one's for the real heads. Expect nothing too technical. There are flying V's all over the place but Steve Vai isn't there. The songs are simple but effective. And damn funny. Nicot. 2004.

Customer Reviews:

Last great CD from the unsung heroes of rock n roll.......2006-11-26

OK, if you're reading this, chances are you know The Strippers. At the very least you know lead guy Rick Sim's former bands The Didjits, The Supersuckers and The Lee Harvey Oswald Band.

If you know and loved the Strippers as I did, then you have to buy this CD. OK so it's pricey, and it's short, and 2 of the songs are live versions of previously released songs, but there's still an awesome version of Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack", Rick's ode to The Dickies' "Gigantor, called "Rodan" (Simms' former band The Didgits once covered The Dickies' "Give It Back") and a number of equally great songs.

The Strippers sound is edgy, poppy, full-throttle rock n roll, with nods to everyone from The Stooges to The New York Dolls to Love and Rockets, and just about everything in between. Tighter, louder, faster and better played than most of the Didjits stuff, and more focused than the 1 CD he's on with The Supersuckers (Sacrillicious Sounds). This is the classic, last gasp of one of Chicago's great bands from the 90's.

Not sure where Rick went, though he had a kid on the way when they made this. Mike Hodgkiss went on to join the reunited Urge Overkill.
