"Peacetika" by Cows (1991)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Cows "Peacetika"  1991 (USA)
Cows were my favorite Minneapolis band following the demises of Husker Du and The Replacements at the end of the 1980's. Too hick for punk, too dumb for indie, too sloppy for grunge, hence they called this group "noise rock." And so politically incorrect in a smartass way! (Peep that cover art, Peacetika, get it? Or as our old pal Michael from Killdozer always likes to say "Fuck you hippie!") Their most famous member could be Kevin Rutmanis, who left this band to join Melvins for a lengthy stint in the ever-changing bass player position with that group; Rutmanis is a unique musician in that he is the only "slide bass" player I know of. But the most notorious member of the group was Shannon Selberg, their mani(a)c weirdo lead singer and bugle player, who did crazy stuff like performing naked while eating lit cigarettes he stole from the audience!
