Day 0118 - Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer "Vincebus Eruptum" (1968)


According to the book, Blue Cheer blew up the recording studio sound desk the first time they tried to record this album.  That seems fitting consider the wall of wild noise issuing from the speakers/headphones when this band played. Kind of a precursor to bands like Sabbath and the Stooges with banging drums, fuzzy guitars and attitude filled yells!

Incidentally, Blue Cheer is nickname for a variety of LSD, it was also a laundry detergent... I'll leave you to guess at which one this band might have been named after.
