Babysitters On Acid

Lunachicks, “Babysitters On Acid” (Blast First, 1990)
From one of the most austerely arty labels of its time, pure drooling rock-and-roll fun. The Lunachicks came from Queens, and there’s a bit of the same outer-borough trash-culture primitivism here that was all over the first Dictators LP, and the same cherry-bomb-in-the-mailbox sense of mischief. But where the Dic’s were moving from beer-stomping ‘70s hard rock to hammer-down punk, the ‘chicks were making the same move, but in reverse; this thing blasts relentlessly with a rusty, serrated slag-metal edge, and a gleeful feel for a NYC gone even more absurd and apocalyptic in the 15+ years since Go Girl Crazy!
