Werewolves On Wheels

    Finders Keepers bring us this lychanthropic ZMovie soundtrack by Don Gere (Curt Boettcher / Kid Dynamite / Don & Stevie), welding motorik redneck funk with broken Eastern promises. Imagine marrying Amon Duul I to Sandy Bull in a phony black mass with Skip Spence and The Godz as bridesmaids. B-Movie junkies gather round and prepare yourself for what could only be described as a cinematic speedball. Take a combined hit of two of the most potent strains of toxic cinema, dress it up in ritualistic robes and make it dance to the beat of a stoned, motoric, country-commune soundtrack.

American projection booths were frantically casting the net for surefire domestic, cheaply made hits desperately looking for new ideas to milk their legacy of all-American biker flicks and teenage monster-movies which lead to film companies taking gambles on new screenplays from young writers and directors born out the free-wheel generation.

This is the first release on their label too, straight outta NY and to your front door, via a Piccadilly Records exclusive...
