1. Boring girls (3:12) 2. I Need a Chick (4:58) LANGUAGE,

Dirty, distorted, garage punk from L.A.’s Lamps. Here we find two songs of sexual frustration. First they cover The Pissed jeans’ “Boring Girls” before obliterating Devo’s “I Need a Chick.” Despite the noise attack enough of the lyrics are discernible on “I Need a Chick” to place this squarely off limits during respectable hours. It is also extremely catchy and more than once I’ve found myself repeating to no one in particular “I need a chick to suck my dick” – be warned!

The lamps are an L.A. Trio consisting of Monty Buckles (guitar/Voc.), Josh Erkman (Drums), Tim Ford (Bass). They have two albums and a number of singles to date (1/2009) this single appears on Sacramento’s s.s. records – sluggo
