"Much more focused and hating than the Pink Fairies or the Deviants"

Yeah, but listening to Stackwaddy is also this zen drone experience sort of like listening to a Sandy Bull album!

So am I. It was in Amoeba a week or so ago but when I went back for it, as usual, gone. There are some live cuts included on the reissues of EBB and "Wasa Wasa" and they're tantalizing. A band that had a great deal of trouble of communicating a desire to engineers on how to get the live sound to tape. Someting Stackwaddy didn't. Perhaps it was the presence of John Peel ensuring what went to tape was what he liked in hearing the band.

Need to hear Stackwaddy! Love the Broughtons though! (Had a highly weird drunk conversation about 'Out Demons Out' with a total stranger who'd just handed me some freak-rock flyer in some Brighton pub on Friday night... didn't know it at the time, cos he looked so debonair and all, but dude turned out to be C@pt@1n S3nsib!e. Wuh? Hahahaha!)

From Jasper & Oliver's International Encyclopedia of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal:

Stackwaddy Premier British heavy boogie band of the early 1970s. They have a rawer sound even than Motorhead.

sixteen years pass...

How did I miss out on these guys for so long? I wonder if I've been conflating them with Showaddywaddy for decades now? Either way, I ordered that 3xCD So Who the Hell is comp last week and it's great! Greasy, raw hard rock with vocals that somehow make Captain Beefheart seem downright refined? Yes, please!
