Recorded in 1993 and 1994, this is the first studio affair by Reagan's Polyp -- and what an affair it is!  You might describe facefuckingbatspermantidotepudding as a rock album about the very idea of rock albums.  Thirty anti-pop miniatures, ranging from Toto-type pop abandon ("Queen of Sados") to creepy nightmare rock ("They Installed Teeth In My Ass") to the obligatory 70's-style funk-rock workout ("1-900-MONKEYBUTT") to the completely indescribable ("Weird Lady On The Subway") -- this is the debut album that Van Halen would have made if their manager had fired them all and signed Reagan's Polyp instead!  Dare we say it:  masterpiece!

Reagan’s Polyp reached their absolute zenith with this always-controversial 1998 masterpiece, featuring the “classic Polyp trio” of Sly on drums, Astronaut Body on vocals and keyboards, and Krel on anything and everything.  A 55-minute controlled explosion, Deadenator begins with the vicious Paul Simon parody “Bridge of Asses” and ends with the prog-rock freakout “The Ballad of Prester John.”  In between, the band careens between mysterioso instrumentals (“Carol Channing vs. Deadenator”), experiments in serial composition (“Your Head”), sheer sonic violence (“Tunguska Blast of 1908”), and very, very, very deep weirdness (“Pony”, “Herky 2-Nite”).  Not for the weak of spirit (or of mind), it’s a trip for your ears that you’ll want to take over and over again… unless, of course, it drives you insane.

“Reagan’s Polyp is malignant.  I mean, this stuff is harsh, harsh listening.  An out-there, genre-hopping, rancid fruit pie, chewing on digital glass, substance (illegal, I imagine) fueled, something something of a recording.  I forced myself to sit on the floor in front of the stereo and listen to all 15 tracks of weirdness and screaming.  Lots of screaming.  When the CD was finished, I calmly fished it out of the tray, gripped it firmly but gently, and sent it spinning across the room like that bladed throwing thingy that the guy got out of the lava in that movie Krull.  The disc hit the opposite wall and plopped lightly and anticlimactically on the floor, where it rests to this day.  Congrats, Reagan’s Polyp.  I’m rarely so moved.” – Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 2000

"A reissue of 1998's supposed "noise-rock classic" by these Arkansas master trollers and I have to say that I'm pretty unimpressed. First things first, the whole racist/sexist/un-PC shock thing is just so beyond played out; I know you're trying to ape ZAPPA, but instead of satirical and biting y'all just sound ignorant as fuck, not to mention boooring.  The opener "Bridges of Asses" [sic] encapsulates the whole disjointed mess rather well, starting off with some truly awful PAUL SIMON-esque crooning before awkwardly segueing into spastic art-punk fuckery and then back into terrible "parody" pop that honestly takes my mind back to MOXY FRUVOUS.  Ouch. The shear breadth of styles and sound pulled off oever the course of an hour is certainly nothing to sneeze at, and there's a definite DEVO-ish ear for oddball hooks, but one gets the feeling that REAGAN'S POLYP made it to the 30 album mark (!) with the help of some not-so-judicious editing.  There are moments here worth exploring, such as the synth warfare on "Hello Alien," but few will have the energy to pan for gold in this sea of mediocrity." --- MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL, October 2014

"I felt embarrassed and defensive every time someone came in the living room and saw me watching it. Like I was guilty of something. And I guess I was. -- Dave Roche on his first time watching Pink Flamingos on a friend's couch.  Which I remembered while trying to listen to Deadenator while my roommate was in the kitchen making dinner.  Two of these tracks come close to sounding like songs. "Rock and Roll 'Music'"-- only a song because it's a parody with lyrics like, "Oh yeah / Let's go / It was Saturday night / And I went to a bar / And I put in a quarter / To hear some guitar!" and the track, "Overpowered by the Spacegirl," which "songs" around for a minute or so before the drums sound like they're being thrown down the stairs and the yelping begins and doesn't ever really go away.  Generally, I support this kind of thing. Very entertaining.  A post-holidays gift for someone you used to love?" -- Jim Joyce, RAZORCAKE #84, February 2015

Reagan’s Polyp aren’t punk rockers.  No, not at all.  And yet they bear a certain theoretical relationship to “punk rock” – a genre that, on this 2001 masterpiece, they destroy completely and without reservation.  Inspired by years of backstage encounters with punk rockers of the central Arkansas variety, America Needs More Ass is the ultimate punk album: it’s political and yet it isn’t;  it thinks it’s smart and yet it’s stupid;  it’s heavy and yet it’s… well, we don’t know what the hell it is.  Complex, nervy and annoying beyond measure, this is the Polyp album for anyone who ever got on stage with a chip on his (or her!) teenage shoulder.

"A brilliant cocktail of noise, punk, hardcore, and grind that sounds like the unholy creation that would result if Genghis Tron and the Boredoms molested Zappa’s corpse...  Reagan’s Polyp attack the occasionally overly serious and myopic punk rock world with a barrage of ferocity and sarcasm that is far more abrasive than anything generated by the legions of tough guy hardcore bands that one finds in every town in America."  -- Jersey Beat  http://www.jerseybeat.com/quinlan-chronicles.html

"Spaceage drum machine insanity, a complete mindfukk [sic] that is more of an experience that [sic] a listen.  I'm currently trying to figure out "Pissed in the Fire at the K.O.A,." and I think Reagan's Polyp are trying to be funny, but on the other hand... they might be truly advanced.  Maniacal psychedelic freakouts, blips/whirs/shrieks, and songs like "Stop Sucking My Cock," "Don't Fuck the Snack," and the title track "America Needs More Ass!"  This shit is really, really weird, like some rednecks got accepted to art school in Providence but then got kicked out because they ate each other's poop for fun and then they went into a cave with MELT BANANA and took drugs.  A lot of drugs.  Also, this band was from Arkansas and released a shitload of sounds in the '90s, many of which have been inexplicably reissued.  My face hurts." -- MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL #377

"I get the same sensation when listening to Ween. I can see the recording booth in my mind: a microphone jutting out from among a mountain of unwashed clothes, Frankenstein taxidermy, Crass records and disturbing crayon sketches. America Needs More Ass is the sound of lunacy festering in lunacy – an irreparable descent into juvenile humour and vitamin D deficiency – but strip back to the barked vocal tag-team and the galloping drum machine, and there’s a punk record in here; an exasperated cathartic protest, slotting the substance of its complaint within the woolly sock of innuendo and shit jokes...  So what else do we have here? The aimless dissonance of cats atop church organs, guitars coiled into wacky springs, 70s sci-fi electronics mashed into lullaby, trapdoors of utter rhythmic meltdown. It’s important not to take this as an inference that Reagan’s Polyp are inept (although that’s certainly the illusion they’re selling). To invert the observation of a punk record sheathed by puerility, there is a scent of musique concrete if one blots out the punk pacing; a mesh of place and origin that balances somewhere between unquestioned impulse and particular stereo placement. No clearer does this become than on “54-40 Or Fuck!”, which wriggles out from the album’s 2-minute confines to tumble into noise abstraction akin to Russell Haswell or Tod Dockstader. Very crafty."  --ATTN: Magazine (UK)  http://www.attnmagazine.co.uk/music/8404

CD / MP3  September 16, 2014

Before "it gets better," it usually gets worse... and Oakland-based queer death rockers Bitter Fruit are here to provide the soundtrack for kids who are sick of the party.  Angry, loud, and heavy as hell, Bitter Fruit has been described as sounding like "Andi Sex Gang singing for early Christian Death."  Their debut album, recorded live in one of the last DIY venues in the vanishing San Francisco underground, confronts the shadows cast by a newly "integrated" community - abuse, objectification, exclusion, betrayal, and perhaps worst of all, corporate sponsorship.  Featuring the hit "Rainbow," It Gets Worse is an instant punk rock classic.

"Oakland's haunting, queer deathrock outfit BITTER FRUIT are a torrent of catchy post-punk ice pop with garish vocals.  The album was recorded live at the Ouija Club / Fortress in San Francisco, and it sounds studio quality in a rad way.  Damn, it would have been cool to have been at that show!  The vocals are creepy crawly and the songs often follow a very bass-driven melody, often with jangle-y droning guitar chords with dissonant vibrato-laden, nail-biting breakdowns.  Hearing the crowd cheer after songs is really a cherry on top of this wild trip.  Second to last song, a WASP WOMEN "Kill Me" cover, is an absolute rager.  These queers have me all worked up!" -- MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL #377

""The album is a grinding, furious storm of physicality which invites the listener either to enter into its ritual trance or to fuck off... As suggested by the flayed embraces and insouciant suicide depicted on the cover, they want as much from you as they are offering; they are creating a space in which outsider identity is up for grabs, and if you are not going to join them in that project you have no business listening to their music – nor are you likely to derive much pleasure from hearing it. If you are a willing celebrant in their rite of constructive violence, you won’t need telling to check your inhibitions at the door, however; this is the sound of drug-addled, blood-spattered, sexual celebration, and its intensity is enough to loosen the straightest of laces." -- OLIVER ARDITI

"Ever hear of horrorbilly hounddogs Pine Box Boys? Local loonies singing songs about Frankenstein, Pukin Blood and Buckets of Guts? Well before they were country crooners they were rippin rock’n'roll a new one with rompin improv scrap-funk-skronk-punk sorta nonsense. A whole bunch of guitar shredding, bass blasting and a deluge of drums from Les Raww, Col. Leather, and Dodds respectively. A collection of live tracks from throughout 2003 brought together here for one big cartoon crime caper of shriek freak jazz creep chaos. Smoke filled balloons and heavy metal nihilist noir starting things off with the title track, a whole mess of toxic sludge that’ll come back to bite us throughout. Magic and Ecstasy bring us that nice wackjob exorcism with a Morricone wild-west appeal. All instrumental tracks except the sultry sing-along escapism on South of the Border and Bones & Boulders’ mongolian deep-throat drone ritual. Some serious gutter kid role modelling for all us with that FIY ethos, cuz fuck it." -- KFJC Radio

Everybody loves The Pine Box Boys, the worldwide kings of Horrorbilly. But before they recorded such classic albums as Arkansas Killing Time, Stab, and Tales from the Empancipated Head, they were The Zag Men, a roaring noise-improv group with a taste for crazy sounds and Zappa-esque stage antics.

The first of four archival releases of live Zag Men recordings, Crime Spree was recorded entirely in San Francisco in 2003 and captures the band at its heart-stopping, ear-destroying best.  If you like spectacular guitar shredding, bizarre soundscapes, or just plain noise, Crime Spree is for you.

Features a blistering version of Ennio Morricone's Magic And Ecstasy (a.k.a. the disco theme from Exorcist II: The Heretic).  And the LP comes with a deluxe 22”-by-33” poster by The Pine Box Boys’ cover artist, Stabitha Lahr!

Of course you’ve never heard of Reagan’s Polyp.  That’s because when this music was recorded, the world wasn’t ready.

NOW THE WORLD IS READY – AND SO ARE YOU.

Here are twelve choice Polyp classics, all remastered and ready to seduce you with that inimitable Polyp sound.  Taken from seven of the most crucial Reagan’s Polyp albums from 1992-2002, these songs, once heard, will live with you forever.  And when “Number Ones” has finished playing and you’re lying there on the linoleum, all flushed and sweaty, just remember:  there’s much more where that came from!

"Twelve-song overview of potentially the most important band from Little Rock, Arkansas that you have never heard of. These guys put out over twenty albums in fourteen years and this disc serves as a nice introduction to the band’s brand of insanity. While not intentionally “punk” per se, these guys were inadvertently punker than most will ever be. Includes my all-time favorite, “Pissed in the Fire at the K.O.A.”  -- RAZORCAKE  http://www.razorcake.org/record-reviews/reagans-polyp-number-ones

“It takes a lot for a new jazz album to win us over, but these two long jams by San Francisco's Astronaut Body Four are really hitting the spot, some seriously forward thinking, left-field jazz for sure.  The A side is the 18 minute track "Citizens’ Day Parade" which starts off like some lost vintage early '70s psych-jazz complete with awesome mystical sounding flute, and as it progresses a really odd but wonderful keyboard that sounds as if its being channeled from another planet, enters the fold and along with the sax, bass and drums the track takes all kinds of twists and turns, including some serious skronk, which instead of being annoying actually serve as great moments of tension building and release. The B side is another long one, the 20 minute track "Murder City Planetarium" which starts with a very moody and voyeuristic vibe, reminding us of moments from one of our very favorite films of all time, The Conversation.  As the track continues on it maintains that subtle sense of suspense, leading up to a charged, chaotic freak out, and then ending on a note of deranged elegance.  Awesome.” – Aquarius Records

Recorded in the drummer’s bedroom overlooking Fulton Street in San Francisco, Murder City is unlike any other jazz album you’ve ever heard.  The Astronaut Body Four, led by the former Reagan’s Polyp keyboardist, flies hard and low over the avant-jazz territory staked out by groups like the Art Ensemble Of Chicago and the Sun Ra Arkestra(s), kicking up a lot of dust and debris in its wake.  Includes the unique rhythm section of Les Raww (bass) and S. Dodds (drums), both from The Pine Box Boys, and features the silky bop saxophone and flute of David Rhoades of The Haight-Ashbury Free Band. 

Track listing:

Side A:  Citizens’ Day Parade
Side B: Murder City Planetarium

"Recorded in the drummer’s bedroom, it’s only inevitable that a wayward elbow would clatter into a wardrobe, or that the limbs of both body and saxophone would joust and jostle unintentionally. That’s what I imagine at least, as side one’s smooth, cyclical swing awkwardly negotiates the small amount of space – musical formality is retained in a brittle balance, quivering like a cocked buckaroo, awaiting just one misjudged sway to knockMurder City into a rubble of loose circuitry and percussive annihilation. There are times where the oblivious bleep of synthesiser is the only thing stopping the silence from sticking, and there are others where the minimal space compacts the atmospheric tension into bullets of brayed dissonance.

"All etiquette is abandoned for side two, which presses the steep gradients into sheer drops and hard spikes: keyboards spiral into dislodged rants, cymbals and snares tick like a wagon tumbling downward, voids open up and suck the momentum into pitch black, albeit for a broken saxophone solo under crooked spotlight. The room is expertly reshaped and repainted between the four of them; jazz backdrops collapse and mid-tempo rock emerges with the seamless professionalism of a theatre scene change, and even as The Astronaut Body Four seem to tip right off the edge into numerous blackouts of rationality and decorum, I see them clambering back up again each time. All this within a drummer’s bedroom." -- ATTN: MAGAZINE  http://www.attnmagazine.co.uk/music/8102

The third Reagan's Polyp studio album, 1996's Cream Gun remains the favorite of many fans -- and for good reason!  Kicking off with a souped-up new version of "You Smell Bad" (the "horn section" version appeared on Fishhooks and Nails), Cream Gun powers through a labyrinth of genres like a stolen racecar driven by a teenage meth addict.  From prog-rock stomping ("The Abattoir of Sin") to gristly funk ("Hunge Butter"), from disco violence ("Penthesilea") to folk-rock parody ("Tunky the Talking Bear"), from avant-Zeppelin ("Develop Revolutionary Consciousness") to deep genderhorror ("Diaper"), Cream Gun has it all -- and more!  After all, is there any other rock album with a cover image as disturbing as this one?

Where do rock and jazz meet?  If you’re Reagan’s Polyp, they meet in a room in the basement over two days in the fall of 1999.  Recorded directly to analog reel-to-reel tape, The Rumbling Quacking & Going Backwards Record features the live-in-the-studio trio of Krel, Astronaut Body, and Jake Rutherford, and it’s about as aggressive as instrumental music gets.  Does it rumble?  It sure does!  Does it quack?  Hell yeah!  Does it go backwards?  You bet your buttocks!!  This is inarguably one of the front-line Polyp albums, guaranteed to please the discerning and annoy the stupid.  And since it doesn’t have any lyrics at all, it’s one of the very few Polyp albums that you can play on the radio without running afoul of the FCC.  Try it and see!

The second in our series of archival Zag Men releases, Malifornia is packed with delicately textured guitar work, rhythm-section wizardry, and spooky electronic grime (courtesy of guest keyboardist Astronaut Body).  If Crime Spree is the heavy, rocking one and 2143 is the weird, goofy one, then Malifornia is the hypnotic, beautiful one:  two long instrumental portraits of a culture in motion.

Side A:  Northern Malifornia

Side B:  Southern Malifornia

Polyp Ah Um!  Could there be a more arrogant album title?  And yet this art gallery for your ears more than lives up to the promise -- or threat -- implicit in the Mingus reference.  Improvised live in the studio (direct to 2-track digital tape) during one week in June 2000, and featuring guest guitar wizard Les Raww (of The Pine Box Boys), Polyp Ah Um is two LP's worth of rarefied, hypnotic, even (dare we say it?) beautiful music.  And only one track -- the notorious "I Can't Stop Fucking Myself" -- has lyrics, so you can play most of it for your grandparents!  Thrill to the sound of jazz, as only Reagan's Polyp could make it.

CD/LP/MP3 -- spring 2015

When former Reagan's Polyp keyboardist Astronaut Body set out to record a followup to the Murder City album, he decided he wanted something.... completely different. 

Enter Mr. Dorgon, the genius behind the single most difficult Tzadik album, "God is Greatest," and an experimental musician of international renown.  Together with the Zag Men rhythm section of Leather & Dodds, Dr. Body and Mr. Dorgon have created what may be the most irritating album in the Vetoxa catalogue -- a windstorm of buzzing, honking, thudding noise that only resembles "jazz" in that there's a saxophone in it.  Extraordinary!  Essential!  Peerless!  Move over, Miles -- there's a new masterpiece in town!

Track Listing

Side A:  Moderato; Andante con Shortwave; Not Quite Frankenstein; Legato

Side B:  Rubato; When Irish Eyes Are Smiling; Moderato

CD and MP3 -- summer 2015

The third of four archival releases by The Zag Men, 2143 is a movie for your ears -- and a bizarre movie it is!  Replete with moaning and buzzing from the musicians (and helpless giggling from the audience), 2143 was recorded live at San Francisco's legendary Artists Television Access in 2004.  Features the core Zag Men lineup of Les Raww, Colonel Leather, and Uncle Dodds (on guitar, bass, and drums) joined for the occasion by Reagan's Polyp keyboardist Astronaut Body. 

The CD issue features a bonus track, "The Accidental Genetic Fusion of Three Cheerleaders," recorded at the same location (with the same musicians) in 2006.

The debut album by San Francisco noise-terror group Nice Lady: all barking, no fucking -- 100% guaranteed!

CD/MP3/LP -- summer 2015

What IS this album?  Who ARE these people saying these things?  What is that awful NOISE?  Is that supposed to be rapping?

Yes, it's the Berfly Tutts album -- or, to call it by its full name: Hello My Name is Berfly Tutts, or The Sub Rosa Erotic Theater of an American Right-Wing Ideologue, as Performed on a Swingers Cruise by Said Ideologue and His Paid Female Companions: Being an Investigation of the Feminist Idea That Within a Masculinist, Homosocial Society, Woman Can Only Exist as an Object of Exchange Between Men.

Are there any Beatles fans out there tonight?  Reagan's Polyp exploded onto the Little Rock music scene in 1992, with a series of spectacularly aggressive shows at (of all places) an Indian restaurant on what is now called President Clinton Avenue.  The Early Year is taken from two of those shows -- in June and December, respectively -- and is guaranteed to be everybody's favorite party album.  By the way, are there any Beatles fans out there?  If so, you'll know exactly what Krel meant when he said:  "With Reagan's Polyp, you get the joke in the first five minutes -- and that's when the REAL joke begins."  So, uh.... any Beatles fans out there?
