Slovenly - C/D & S/D

Yeah, I think as far as capturing an isolated mood that's equal parts doom and somehow hopeful, they were kings. It's like a melancholy happiness. Such a unique feeling that they were able to capture.

is this the same steve anderson? this obit seems to paint the picture of him as an austin scene dude, but weren't the slovs mainly bay area / west coast dudes?

this is steve from slovenly sitting atop the ladder: https://img.discogs.com/v8LovkNFJgTyQrK-dIDhP7kbFWI=/600x423/smart/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/A-315042-1497127252-7384.jpeg.jpg

Doesn’t look like the same guy so i’m pretty sure that’s a different Steve Anderson. From discogs it seems like there were two different punk bands called toxic shock in the early 80s, one with some slovenly guys (Watson, ziegler and anderson) and another from Austin that had David Yow on bass and the other Steve Anderson on guitar.

Hey just found this new slovenly interview that was in PSF a couple of months back! Steve Anderson lives!

holy shit, nick! that link is invaluable. what a find! i am ever so grateful.

Having been introduced to Slovenly in the late 80s, I've been revisiting them a lot during lockdown. What a band! I'd love a Numero group style boxset. Does anyone know why on the CDs of 'Riposte' and 'We Shoot...' the running order is different to the vinyl with the A and B sides swapped? Just curious.
