Straight
edge silliness, hard core immaturity, whatever. The Gay Cowboys in Bondage
were a punk band whose point of view skewed at about 15 years of age.
The members were older than that to be sure, but there's no escaping
the infectious adolescent enthusiasim the GCIB brought to their music.
After this cassette, the group released a vinyl e.p. (Owen
Marshmallow Strikes Again) which had more good songs (sorry, we
can't find our copy) but the problem facing the band became obvious:
If the point of the band is immaturity, how the hell are you supposed
to grow?
Answer: You do, but the band doesn't.
We're happy to report the release of GAY
COWBOYS IN BONDAGE "The Completely Silly Discography: 1983-1984 on Burrito
Records. Go
see for yourself.
