Where to start with
Eddy Detroit
? Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, it was there, in 1966, that he was in attendance for the first
Iguanas
gigs (
Iggy Stooge
's first band). He joined the White Panther party in Detroit and was "there" for the pre-punk sounds of
The Stooges
and
MC5
("We all smoked dope on the state Capitol and got beat up by the cops"). In the early '70s he traveled to London, where he stalked
Marc Bolan
and tried to seduce
Tony Visconti
's then-girlfriend
Mary Hopkin
. It was with Ms. Hopkin, when he was dropping off a demo tape at the Apple store, that he witnessed the moment when
Ringo
found out that
The Beatles
had broken up! (We've got the pictures to prove it!) In the mid-'70s, Detroit settled in Hollywood and started
The Terminal Wave Band
(bongo/synth/punk) which was the soundtrack to the hippy/biker/S&M/satanic/polyamorous scene that Detroit ruled in dingy, underground LA -- that's when he wasn't trying to seduce
Nico
(
The Velvet Underground
) to become one of his muses and lovers ("True story bub"). When rents in LA got too much for an acid-fried biker/S&M/punk, Eddy moved to Phoenix, AZ, and was seminal in fostering one of the most interesting underground musical scenes of the early '80s. He was an unofficial member of the
Sun City Girls
, toured with the
Meat Puppets
and
Mighty Sphincter
, and was the pith-helmeted shaman-in-residence at his club The Grotto! This LP contains recordings made from 1979 to 2010. They run the gamut of Detroit's musical landscape, from the UK acid-folk of
Tyrannosaurus Rex
and
The Incredible String Band
through bongo-fueled satanic calypso to his new phase as a troubadour recounting tales of hobos, whores, and one-eyed jacks from the old west. Limited edition of 500 copies.
