I didn't know anything about the band and randomly walked into the bar they were playing. They were great and I bought both the 7" on the spot. Never heard them again but I still vividly remember how much I liked their sound. I'm downloading the files to see if they still sound as good to me ( I no longer own the 7" after a split with the woman who was with me at the time)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-48120938425433471302010-06-10T13:55:19.401-04:002010-06-10T13:55:19.401-04:00Hey Anonymous - I just downloaded Part 1 to my com...Hey Anonymous - I just downloaded Part 1 to my computer just to be sure.

Just read Michael's update piece...Hugh also gave us (co-workers) rough copies of the demo tape so we could vote on the songs that would make the final pressing. Of course I was a day late getting my choices in, but at least they had the distinction of having the pharmacist at Revco Drugs having a vote on which songs to release!

I played drums (sort of) with Keith in his first band in the mid/late 80s, and later was a co-worker of Hugh's for a little over a year during the time he, Keith, and Jerry were recording the demo tape material. I didn't know Jerry personally, but was absolutely blown away by what he was doing even then, and enjoyed seeing that incarnation of the Martians play live on several occasions. One memorable gig was their opener for The Jesus Lizard at the Masquerade. It was brilliant.<br /><br />Like most here, I agree The Martians got by with a fraction of the attention they deserved.<br /><br />Through a series of unfortunate events (including the recent GA floods), I've lost most of the small amount of Martians material I did have, and was hoping I might find some replacements here (?). I'll have a look around and see what you have here.<br /><br />In any case, from one who was there at the beginning, a HUGE "THANK YOU!" from me for acknowledging the band and keeping their memory alive for old and new fans. <br /><br />I know Jerry and the guys would appreciate it.<br /><br />R.I.P., Jerry. You were a genius.Charlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-27300101061263627212009-06-18T12:34:45.172-04:002009-06-18T12:34:45.172-04:00Hi Katafu - thanks for the comment!

I bought the "Low Budget...." by some mailorder that we used at that time, really cheap. I had to left all my physical records in Chile (I live in Spain now) and i was looking for this record but it was impossible to get. I must add that i'm looking for the 2 Buzz Hungry albums that i also left in Southamerica so if someday you could post them here i would love you forever!<br />Thanks again, a big hug!<br /><br />Katafu<br />www.myspace.com/famileamiranda<br />krafica.blogspot.comKráficahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165051229362804953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-49119312316816608362009-05-14T01:20:00.000-04:002009-05-14T01:20:00.000-04:00As far as the two singles that were put out partia...As far as the two singles that were put out partially under the Lunchbox name, James you are correct that I had nothing to do with them even though I was running Lunchbox fully at that time. Doug just decided to put the Lunchbox name on there on his own and never told me. I didn't even know until I saw the 7"s in the store one day. I was initially pissed off about it and couldn't understand why he would do that. But since I liked the Martians I got over it and figured it could only help the label. I had forgotten about that whole incident until this post.Swisharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009208984469060761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-54529507752462584322009-05-10T14:32:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:32:00.000-04:00hey y'all, love the site.

I always thought the Martians were never given their full due. Watching Jerry perform with them was always a treat. Kyle was just a different (yet equally talented) drummer. My interest waned, but the recordings are still great.<br /><br />For the record, Kyle didn't LEAVE Fiddlehead as much as the band broke up. Would you say that's accurate?<br /><br />The show where The Martians opened for Polvo is included in the ten gigs I sent you, James. Hard to believe I actually only recorded every other show they did, but that's how broke/cheap I was at the time......hhttp://www.chunklet.comnoreply@blogger.com
