First of two excellent 7inches by Voodoo Idols from Tampa/Florida. Second one has the better known We dig Nixon etched into the grooves. Nixon is great but I think Do the Kirk here is one inch(the size of my supermans cock) better. Rough and stomping with a great bass sound, pretty sax and a singer with a super sexy voice. Grunt Runt is more of the same just not as catchy but I somehow can picture the singer go nuts with this one live. Finishing it off with Stooges Your pretty face is going to hell is which don´t do much for me. The voodoos also released an LP which I haven´t heard but would love to.

Like a rawer, meaner sounding version of early Cramps. Many thanx, i was after this one for ages (after hearing “grunt grunt” on the Killed By Florida comp lp). Great record!!
Chano you pretty much nailed it with the comparsion to Cramps but without the rock a billy.
The band actually released an LP and a 12″ EP after these two 7″s, but they both suck. Real bland bar band rocknroll. Disappointing.
That’s an accurate description of the last ep, but Temptation is a great record. Sounds like a cross between the cramps and the contortions. I posted it here:

Thanks, was wondering what this sounds like!
Thanks for the link Chris. A link to your blog will be posted.
This record is pretty fun, but the obvious JOKE (the emphasis is for your dim readers) is that white-boy appropriation of black music is as racist as the Zionist hiphop of Two Live Jews. That you posted this shows you have real balls!
And of course, even those from Florida (strictly from familiarity with the deservedly maligned cultural studies category of the “other”) are less inherently racist than those whitebreads living in, say, Switzerland.
Thanks for the post.
The return of milky, the inbred idiot.
No way dude, people from florida are way more racist, half of ‘em don’t even like “northerners.”
Had you posted the “we dig Nixon” one,the MRR crowd would likely have denounced you,if Timmy Yo was still there.Nixon was the catchall blame for everything,much like George W Bush is now,for the old hardline leftys.
yeah its cool snotty punk with cramps and flesh eaters charm.thank you kbd.
Me no likey
Come on Jay. You used to have this before you gave it away.
Yeah, cum on Jay! I really miss those comments
I have that LP, and that is the only thing i heard of them ( my computer is too stupid to have sound ! ).
When i got it, it really didn’t make any sens to me …
A few month ago, i listenned to it again before throwing it away in exchange of a half bottle of warm beer … And i really liked it !.
Keeping in mind that i am NO specialist of that very type of PunkRock ( … You know, with sax and all that sort of intellectual sort of things … ), it now makes me think of FLESH EATERS …
Half the LP is good other half isn’t. The two 7″s are the best Florida has to offer. Great cover on this one. I would argue the songs are not intellectual but fucked and intellectual. Way better than the Cramps or Screwdriver.
Grunt Grunt is my favorite of the three, a little dirtier sounding. The cover art is perfect. Thanx for this treat.
You’re welcome Justin.
The album cover is art! Cool!
