Artist: Tonight
Title: 1978
Year: 1997
Label: Freaked Out Frequencies
Tracks: 1.) 1978, 2.) Animal Call, 3.) Germ Girl

Here's their other full 7". This one is a little more melodic than the first one. "Animal Call" is a Bags cover.

Tonight - Search My Face

Artist: Tonight
Title: Search My Face
Year: 1996
Label: Wallabies Records
Tracks: 1.) Search My Face, 2.) That's A Farce, 3.) Boston Babies

I haven't done a Japanese record in a while. Tonight had a short run in the mid-90s and while their sound is harder than what I normally go for, they approach it with a more wild rock 'n' roll style than pissed off hardcore, so I can still get into it. This is their first release. "Boston Babies" is a Slaughter And The dogs cover. 

They shortly after released a split 7" with Gyogun Rend's, another solo 7" on Freaked Out Frequencies, a few comp tracks, and then that was it. None of their releases have any credits so I have no idea if any of their members went onto other groups.

The Horribly Wrong - Bleeding For You

Artist: The Horribly Wrong
Title: Bleeding For You
Year: 2005
Label: Eradicator Records, Spin The Bottle Records
Tracks: 1.) Aiming For You, 2.) Do The Move, 3.) 2nd P.A., 4.) Blood Up To My Waist, 5.) Living Nightmare

I vaguely remember The Horribly Wrong existing in the mid-2000s, but lumped them in with all the midwestern speed garage bands I didn't care about like Catholic Boys and never gave The Horribly Wrong a chance. Years later as I discovered Natural Child, I learned that Seth Murray was previously in The Horribly Wrong, so I gave them a chance and dug it. 

This 7" is the only record that came out while they were a band. They recorded an LP, but that didn't come out until 2009, a few years after they broke up.

Lover! / LiveFastDie - Split

Artist: Lover! / LiveFastDie
Title: Split
Year: 2008
Label: Douchemaster Records
Tracks: 1.) Lover! "Booger In My Asshole", 2.) LiveFastDie "Sick As Shit Of Shit" 

After sparingly singing his own songs with Knaughty Knights in the early 2000s, former Reatards and Lost Sounds drummer Rich Crook officially became a frontman with a slew of recordings under the Lover! moniker in 2006. Rich played everything himself and in concert the "band" was a collection of whichever mid-south musicians didn't have anything else going on at the time. Then in 2010 Rich moved to Chicago and formed a more permanent group. 

This LiveFastDie track is one of the few singles tunes that didn't make it onto the Hit Stains comp.

Jumpin' Beans And Willie - The Milwaukee Sessions

Artist: Jumpin' Beans And Willie
Title: The Milwaukee Sessions
Year: 2002
Label: Ball Records
Tracks: 1.) She's A Real Tomato, 2.) It's Alright By Me, 3.) I've Tried It (It Don't Work), 4.) High Roller, 5.) Louie Louie, 6.) Can't See Straight, 7.) I Want It From You, 8.) Calling Christ, 9.) Stay Off My Lawn, 10.) End This Time with You, Part I, 11.) End This Time With You, Part II

Here's the LP. I don't like this nearly as much as the 7" I posted earlier, but since this is limited to 100 copies and you probably won't find it anywhere else online, here you go.

The Cave Weddings - Last Time

Artist: The Cave Weddings
Title: Last Time
Year: 2010
Label: Bachelor Records
Tracks: 1.) Last Time, 2.) Never Never Know

This is the other Cave Weddings 7", partially recorded in Albany with the original trio before they broke up and supplemented by members of The Midwest Beat in Wisconsin, after the band broke up.  

Sample: here

The Cave Weddings - Demo

Artist: The Cave Weddings
Title: Demo
Year: 2009
Label: None
Tracks: 1.) Let's Drive, 2.) When The Lights Go Out, 3.) Heart So Cold, 4.) Tell Me, 5.) Bring Your Love (Demo)

Eventually I'll get to posting The Romance Novels, my favorite of Indiana popster Eric LaGrange's groups, but right now I feel like doing The Cave Weddings. The Cave Weddings were a short-lived trio Eric formed after The Romance Novels and in between phases of The Happy Thoughts while he spent a little time with his girlfriend and band member Erin at The University at Albany, SUNY. 

They initially cut this demo CD that came in a pretty cool screen-printed package. These five songs became the source material for the "Bring Your Love" b/w "Let's Drive" on Hozac Records with "Last Time" being released on a split cassingle with The Midwest Beat. The other two songs are not available on anything else. "Heart So Cold" is originally by The Thunderbolts from 1965. There are two other songs from a different session that came out on Bachelor Records.
