While it’s true that I was a member of the Texas bubble-wave band Pink Filth in 2001 until it dissolved, I didn’t actually record much with the group. We played tons of live shows, and if memory serves I had a songwriting credit or two, but when Seventeen Bubblegum Smashes came out, I wasn’t even in the picture. Too bad, as this album is so much fun…great versions of Quick Joey Small, Box on Wheels, and Chewy Chewy just to name a few.
You can find this oddity only as a used item in some San Antonio and Austin record shops, but if you can locate it, it is well worth the price. I own this one, but can’t get in touch with the other Pink Filthers to post an MP3 for you to sample. The moment they say yes, I will. Normally my policy is to post an MP3 as a promo for the bands and remove upon request, but my friends in the ‘Filth have always preferred to be asked first on the good old stuff like this. Can’t say I blame them when it’s an album of covers, but the world really should hear this record.
