The Groundhogs - BBC In Concert is definitely worth checking out. They are much more aggro live, there is some serious noisy wah on those recordings. Pieces of it sound like what the Minutemen might have sounded like as a heavy boogie band.

Man, I just came across the second side of _The Two Sides of Tony (T.S.) McPhee_ – it’s all ARP 2600, Rhythm Ace drum machine and spoken word. Wild.

RIP Tony. I just picked up Hogwash and Who Will Save The World? The Mighty Groundhogs a few weeks ago, they're not quite up there with the mighty Split but that whole run of 70s records is fantastic

listening to Split...this band was fucking outrageous! what a strange beast they were in that zone of post blues heavy rock/prog/proto-metal/droopy moustaches/flare trousers

Truly a perfect genre name and description for said zone. (And as a point of comparison, I do recommend the three CD compilation sets Cherry Red has released called I'm a Freak, Baby....)
