PAST IT RECORDS ad from College Biker fanzine #1, 1994.
Tag: Icky Boyfriends
Not especially readable – but here’s a split interview w/ San Francisco’s ICKY BOYFRIENDS and Toronto’s LEATHER UPPERS – who shared a drummer – from the pages of Portland’s Snipehunt fanzine, a mag I’d love to find some back issues of (especially if anyone saved the “Zip Code Rapists break up” issue….). Enjoy your squinting.
Advertisement for San Francisco’s PAST IT records, 1998. They were the home of the Icky Boyfriends, Demolition Doll Rods, Leather Uppers and other demented garage acts of the day. I happen to know that the owner/manager of the label was in a big NBA basketball phase at the time.

I’m selling some 45s over on Discogs.com, and maybe you’ll want to buy some? Some great stuff over there – this Eddy Detroit single; Spray Paint; Monoshock; Claw Hammer; Tiki Men; Mike Rep & The Quotas; Monarchs; Icky Boyfriends – and much, much more….!

I spent the better part of a quiet Tuesday evening holed up in a room creating the mix you can now download here – DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO PODCAST, Edition #13. I’ve been putting these together about every two weeks or so for the past five months, but if this is your first one, well – welcome to the show. I play songs I like, play-act at being a “DJ”, mix-n-match songs on my Mac, talk into a computer, and generally try to keep all the shows to about an hour. You can download all 12 of the past editions here.
This one’s got new stuff from RAW PRAWN, THE DELPHINES, CANDY HIGHWAY, SOCK PUPPETS and COLLEEN GREEN, along with super sub-underground weirdness, punk, garage, pop & more from The Moodists, Electric Eels, Icky Boyfriends, The Fall, Solger, Crash Course In Science and a bunch of other winners.

Flyer from 1994 “End of Rock” show with The Demolition Doll Rods, Monoshock and Icky Boyfriends, courtesy of Anthony Bedard’s Facebook page. Anthony, who headed up Past It Records, and I put this show on together (we also put out the Doll Rods first single). I actually couldn’t attend it, having been previously committed to some work-related trip to New Jersey or somewhere thereabouts.
My then-new girlfriend Rebecca, now my wife-of-14-years Rebecca, sold the merch at the Doll Rods table in my absence. Everyone we talked to said it was a ripping show, punctuated by Tom Guido, the Purple Onion’s L’enfant terrible, jumping onto the stage multiple times to interrupt the bands, a very common occurrence from the drunkest, worst club owner in history (who nonetheless ran a terrific club for a few years in the mid-90s).
