Two Headed Cobra Split (cv)
Cargo Cult was a band from Austin, Texas. It featured Randy "Biscuits" Turner of the Big Boys and Duane Denison before he moved to Chicago to form The Jesus Lizard. The band released an album, "Strange Men Bearing Gifts" on Touch and Go records in 1986. In 1987, they recorded demos for a second album, but the band broke up right after the recording and the record never came out. These demos are available here for the first time. These recordings show the band moving towards a darker sound and Duane Denison sharpening his trade mark guitar sound and style. Fast forward to 2004. Biscuits has put together a new band with Maximum RocknRoll and Left Of The Dial writer David Ensminger, The Texas Biscuit Bombs, playing shows in Austin. Their set list included many Texas punk classics (Really Red's Teaching You the Fear, The Dicks "Hate the Police", and of course many Big Boys numbers), as well as not-so-punk classics (ZZ Top, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Spencer Davis Group). This release includes 2 live sets recorded at Rudyard's pub in Houston, Texas in 2004 and 2005. The second show being recorded just days before Biscuits untimely death on August 18th 2005. Totalling 27 songs, this double LP features original cover art by Biscuits and a die-cut silkscreened cover. It also includes a set of 20 Cargo Cult and Texas Biscuit Bombs flyers. All 1000 copies on colored vinyl.
