Gotten lots of request for VOM. And whom I to not please my audience? As most of you know VOM was Saunders and Turners band before they pulled out one of Americas hardest cocks: Angry Samoans. Who gets high rates in my book for getting banned by the LA/Hollywood scene in the early 80´s. It´s not hard to hear it´s pre-Angry Samoans in tracks like Electrocute Your Cock and the killer Punkmobile with quite arcetypical quirky AS chorus. Top notch! Well every track is a winner, really. Later re-issued or booted(?).
As a bonus you´ll get some really, really, REALLY great VOM videos found in the postponed documentary about Angry Samoans. I have it and it´s worth looking for. Pst! Google.

Keep an eye out for the Vom Live at Mabuhay Gardens 1978 tape that is floating around, it has loads of tunes not on the EP. Some of these Vom EP tunes showed up remixed on some kind of a soundtrack album last year or so, but I cannot find it or google it, dang.

you’ve lost an occasion to write a few words about Richard Meltzer. it was his band as well. one of the greatest rock’n'roll writers. Vom are great, Angry Samoans are great. Metal Mike is great.
Didn´t have a clue of who Richard Meltzer was. So thanks to you I looked him up on Wikipedia. So you see how important your comments are!
Richard Meltzer is a great guy. Also Ronn Spencer, who owned White Noize Records who released this record and the AVENGERS 12″. Some trivia: the reissue was legitimate and not a bootleg. I know because Artifix was asking about reissuing it and was told by Spencer that the other label (who I forget) got his permission first. Second: the ANGRY SAMOANS documentary was NOT postponed. It was released on video tape by Triple X Records, but an original copy is probably tough to obtain now.
i have the vhs on triple x. found it at BOMP! about 10 years ago. very funny!!
It was reissued by the now defunct Kryptonite Records of Milwaukee.
Thanks Greg for the correct info regarding the documentary.
i have a bootleg copy, your rips sounds 100 times better!! Thanx for this!
Glad to hear that :).
This is great stuffs, I loves it!!
it was totally Meltzer’s band. his idea, his name (VOM), and he called all the shots down to the set list and its sequencing.
the unmixed tracks for the Surf City ep were really strong sounding, but the mix was haywire/bad. and meltzer’s seriously great “scratch” vocals singing along with the live backing tracks were replaced by far more labored/affected overdubbed vocals.
ehhhh that’s what happens when Bob Rock’s not around to explain to the Modernettes how the nuances of the recording process works. (john armstrong: “the Little Mountain Sound’s master-volume-on-back 60′s Marshall 100W head they loaned me was SO loud, when i stood 15 feet away my pants legs still ruffled.”
i’m ted nugent. i know these things.
punk rock is bad and it will make you masterbate uncontrollably. and the guitar solos are TOO FUCKING SHORT.
Punk rock has too many bad words and them darn punks never shoot nothin’
Thanks Teds dad. Didn’t knew Meltzer was the main man in VOM. Shame on me.
I didn’t know either…and quite frankly, I could care less.
Hippies!
All you need is love.
Most peculiar it is, to find that the vidcap for “Electrocute Your Cock” is… my back.
Yours in Hydroplexia Nervosa,
bonze
fucking horrible and hilarious and……AWESOME!
Totally sloppy and hilarious. Totally missed out on this band before.
Thanks a lot for enlightening me.
“Electrocute Your Cock” reminds me that Martin said he would post the Quiet Men’s “Cement Your Cunt” demos. Did he die?
Sorry, “Gay Thurston” is “Levi Johnston,” the pseudonym for “Chano” when he feels Catholic guilt. Check the IP addresses, Peter.
what the hell are you talkin’ about???
Martin left us last month…he has now converted to the church of heavy metal….
your mommy is your bitch…
We need a new record…oh, that’s right. I don’t really care…I have only two sites I visit now. See ya.
7inchpunk.com and fatchickswithpartyhats.com?
Some of these song are included on a cd called “The Completed Soundtrack For The Tropic Of Nipples. You can get the cd pretty cheap on Amazon. The Vom tracks on the disc include: Eletrocute Your Cock, Too Animalistic, PunkMobile, God Save The Whales(Live at Rhino December 1977), I’m In Love With Your MOM, and a rough demo called I Live With The Roaches. Meltzer also reads some poems which are backed by strange noises. Overall some pretty wierd and cool stuff. I hope this has helped.
By the way my name is Bob and i spelled weird wrong.
“Live at Surf City” will be re-released with the original picture sleeve and label by the end of the year.
Whens this comming?
I think I’ve seen the re-issue on eBay recently.
Does anyone out there know the lyrics to “Electrocute your Cock”?? If anyone can help me out, please email rcosta_700@hotmail.com
