Comets On Fire

Comets deliver dark and damaged acid rock served in a crude and blown out speedball of Blue Cheer, High Rise, James Williamson and a blind-drunk Roxy Music-era Brian Eno!

Features 6 sludge-fuzz drenched live tracks not on the original out of print vinyl! Comets on Fire are psycho-psyche freaks outta Santa Cruz. They encompass stoner rock and garage, but are more insane than anything in either genre. This is their debut record that was released on vinyl only in 2001, and quickly went out of print as it was snapped up by all the local freaks. Comets on Fire deliver dark and damaged acid rock served in a crude and blown out speedball of Blue Cheer, High Rise, James Williamson and a blind-drunk Roxy Music-era Brian Eno. Methamphetamine and Schnapps drenched lullabies take it straight into the sonic shit storm, shifting from 4/4 power rock to imploding free form. Echoplex treated tales of drug crazed space travelers, graverobbers in love, and cosmic cannibals. Recorded by Comets on Fire onto 4-track with the levels in the bloody red in a basement and garage in Santa Cruz , California. Tinkering, mixing and sound manipulation by the band and Tim Green. Features 6 sludge-fuzz drenched live tracks from an intense and great sounding show in 2000. This 30 minute set was not on the original vinyl and is exclusive to this cd-only release.
