The Muldoons

Backing Jack White with the embryonic "guitar/drums duo" formula (The Upholsterers) is intended to be Brian Muldoon's title of glory. Later on, there is probably no pride having his own breed screwing up my favorite Stooges song (Real cool time) but it is ethically more recommandable than having his two boys working in an asian sewing factory. The Muldoons are sponsored by Ben Blackwell controversial label Cass Records.

The Muldoons : self-titled (LP-2007)
Zombies / Destruction Boy / Chubby Bunny / Tall / Battle of the Bands / Real Cool Time / Red and Black / Staring Contest / I Know a Friend / Agitated / Epic Battles / Rotbot Car

Red Cross / Tater comes alive



1980, Red Cross. 6 songs, 6 minutes. 1988, Tater Totz. 6 songs, 60 minutes.
The latter is a weird free psychedelic tribute to the Beatles. The former is a must-have pop-core manifesto with a 11 years old Steven McDonald screeching "Standing in front of poseur" only as a 11 years old child would do. His reputation was made. Instant classic.

Red Cross : s/t (12"-1980)
Cover band / Annette's got the hits / I hate my school / (theme) / Clorox girls / S&M party / Standing in front of poseur
Tater Totz : Tater comes alive (CD-1988)
Tomorrow Never Knows / Rain / Sisters, O Sisters / Don't Worry Kyoko / Flowers / Sympathy For the Devil / Don't Worry Kyoko (Live at Beatlefest 10-27-88)
