BLOODLOSS
Title:
Lost My Head for Drink
Label:
BANG! RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:
LP
Price:
$21.00
Catalog #:
BANG 054LP
Bloodloss
was the band formed by members of
Mudhoney
and
Lubricated Goat
(
Mark Arm
,
Guy Maddison
,
Martin Bland
and
Renestair EJ
). They played scuzzed-out, spastic, jazz-influenced, grunge punk-blues with one foot in the garage and both legs in the swamp. This record is their lost last album, recorded in Seattle in 1996 and not released until now, and it sounds like a cross between
The Flesh Eaters
'
A Minute To Pray A Second To Die
and
The Scientists
'
The Human Jukebox
. The band is not active any more, but this record, released by Bang! Records on deluxe gatefold edition, is a must for those who follow
Captain Beefheart
,
Scientists
, Mudhoney and
Beasts Of Bourbon
. Deluxe gatefold vinyl edition.

Title:
The Truth Is Marching In 1983-1991
Label:
MEMORANDUM (AUSTRALIA)
Format:
2CD
Price:
$18.00
Catalog #:
MEMO 008CD
For the last decade and a half,
Bloodloss
has existed spasmodically in Seattle with a line-up that grew to include
Mudhoney
's
Mark Arm
and
Guy Madison
. During this period, they released two albums on Reprise and Sympathy For The Record Industry and a number of 7"s and EPs. Formed in Sydney in 1983 by Adelaide ex-pats,
Renestair EJ
and
Martin Bland
, Bloodloss existed fitfully Downunder until 1991 when both Ren and Martin emigrated to the USA as members of
Stu Spasm
's
Lubricated Goat
. This retrospective is culled from recordings made in Australia between 1983 and 1991 when the band existed alongside better-known contemporaries like the
Beasts Of Bourbon
,
feedtime
,
Scientists
and
King Snake Roost
. Disc one features the entire, superb
The Truth Is Marching In
album (1990), along with the best tracks from their final, (and never released) Australian recorded album,
The Hair Of The Future
, from 1991. Disc two collects the best songs from their self-titled cassette-only album (1986),
Human Skin Suit
LP (1987), and unheard rehearsal tapes and recording sessions. Includes a 16-page booklet with extensive liner notes by
Harry Butler
(
DNA
fanzine). All Music Guide describes Bloodloss' music as "Blues/Vegas/Punk craziness" and over 27 sporadic years, the band's chaotic and pulsating jazz-influenced punk rock has won them many fans. This collection shows where it all began for a band that was always more than just a Mudhoney side project.
