The Life & Death Of Hot Glue Gun

Judging by the catalog number this has been in 'the pipe' since before I got here… Every track recorded by one our local scene's most incendiary combos, from their late 80s singles to new tunes recorded in 1999 with Hum's Matt Talbott. Led by guitar-wizard/chameleon/ventriloquist Mike Clayton HGG was a shit-hot power trio who effortlessly blended in all manner of Smart Pop, Loud Rock, Frenetic Funk, and Caustic Punk and everything in-between to keep the pogo-happy crowds pogo-ing and happy, meanwhile blowing up the fucking place every time the set fingers and sticks to strings and skins… HGG's revolving cast prominently featured assist/contortionist/gentleman Nick Macri, who has gone on to musical fame as a member of EUPHONE, BLUE MAN GROUP, C-CLAMP STEAKDADDY SIX, and as SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE's touring bass player. HGG also featured TOMMY FLAKE mainman/ELVIS BROS sideman Randy Seals on drums, and other drummer Matt Payne played for Miss CATH CARROL… DCD compendium (for the price of a single CD mind you) includes genius-obscurities like 'I Kill You', 'Dive', 'She Calms Down', and a DEVO cover, duh!
