Lubricated Goat
Plays The Devil's Music
A reissue of Lubricated Goat's debut LP from 1987, which has been out of circulation for over two decades. Sorcerer presents this classic slice of Underground Australiana again in all its glory. Recorded over two recording sessions in mid-1986, one in Perth and one in Adelaide, 'Plays The Devil's Music' wasn't really seen by LG founder/mainstay Stu Spasm (ex-Beasts Of Bourbon, Salamander Jim and much more) as a part of any grand musical plan. He recorded these tracks with his friends Martin Bland, Brett Ford and Pete Hartley and went back to Sydney with the tapes. John Foy of Black Eye Records loved the results and the band known as Lubricated Goat was born. Lubricated Goat were (perhaps correctly) often compared to the Butthole Surfers at the time, and their mix of punk, post-punk, noise and a taste for the absurd puts them firmly in the same camp. Throw in a little bit of Stooges/Birthday Party-style grunt and a distinctly Australian sense of humour and you're getting close to the magic of early Lubricated Goat. This edition comes remastered c/o Mikey Young, with the original artwork and inner sleeve, download card, as well as new liner notes from Stu Spasm detailing the history of the recording. Recommended for fans of Butthole Surfers, Killdozer, Pere Ubu, Big Black, Birthday Party.
