When I joined this band, I had no idea that they were funkier than the Doobie Brothers!!

Is classic rock your thing? Then don't buy this CD. If you like falling asleep while listening to CD's, don't buy this CD. If you like deep meaning and poignant lyrical content, don't buy this CD. If you are looking for the next Pink Floyd look elsewhere. Green Flem and the Nasty Maggots do it the way it should be done. Rock with a sense of humor. Live it, Love it!!

Green Flem and the Nasty Maggots are very, very funny. At the CD release party on Dec. 4 at Steve and Sully's, the punk rock sound was in the house. This group has been together for 10 years and just released a 10-year retrospective CD called Nasty Hits 1989-1998. Guitarist Reverend Chum, Chic (drums) and Wrick (bass) who make up the McKnicKnix Brothers and lead singer Eric Norton a.k.a. Green Flem, create this garage sound of the early punk sound. You can see their sense of humor with their song titles such as "Bobcat In Your Bed," "Rototiller Across My Heart Blues," and "Tonight's The Night We Burn The Jazz Club Down." Can't help but smile.

Normally this kind of rubbish really turns me off. But after multiple listens it is starting to grow on me like a fungus. I can't get 'detention' out of my head. The chorus is utterly stunning. 'Johnny's Teeth' is a classic, so much so that Pinehursts' own Donut Kings play it live. 'Wildfinger' is a smelly song that probably shouldn't have been written in the first place but does makes nice of a subject matter that should not have strayed from the classic-type of love song. Speaking of smells the new CD 'Nasty Hits 1989-1998' also contains 'Halitosis' and 'Stink Babe' both are about how people smell. I think singer Green may need to take a look at his own hygiene. Despite this all 'Nasty Hits' is a fine piece of reflective plastic that does get regular play in my personal CD player." I only wish they were on Pinehurst Records, I'd be rich

The Nasty Maggots are one of the tastiest bands to come out of Connecticut in a long time. They are also one of the sexiest. That Green Flem has the best hairy chest this side of Robert Plant! You can even hear it on their CD. Yum!

But back to the real world -- or at least a place where you can't buy liquor on Sundays-- Wrick McKnickNix tells me he's hoping for a different crowd when his band plays the Waterfront Nov. 27. "We're hoping to attract the guy you see at football games with the multi-colored wig and the 'John 3:16' sign," he says. Well, what do you expect? His band is named Green Flem and the Nasty Maggots, and they're not exactly peddling "date rock." In fact, I'm not exactly sure what I'd call the latest batch of tunes coughed up by the Flem-sters. Lyrically, it ranges somewhere between bad hygiene ("Halitosis" and "Stink Babe") to masochism ("Please Don't Beat Me With That Chain Again" and "Rototiller Across My Heart.") Musically, let's just say that guitarist Rev. Chum uses more gain in his distortion than is legal in most states. But at least they can take pride in the fact that during their CD release party in Connecticut, one member of the audience was heard to say, "They're not another crappy white-boy funk band."

Don't know if all the locals are getting market savvy or not. Just like the national acts, though, seems everyone has some new product just in time for Christmas. And while perhaps nothing says "honey, I care about you" like the latest CD from Green Flem and the Nasty Maggots...

Good lord! Now I didn't even mention that, if they ever come to Detroit, they'll take you to the Promised Land, over the edge and back, change your life. This one is up there: great jam after great jam. You can't blame me, swinging around banisters, threatening bodily harm to all who don't like whatever I’m listening to. I live for those moments of drunken nirvana when you're in the bag and that wild tune comes on and all you can do is drunkenly slur your way thru it.

U guys R so sexy. U R kinda like the Dead Milkmen on some kind of acid trip mixed with speed. I listen to you during shoots and movies.

P.S. I love guys with "hairy backs"!!

 

You guys suck!! I pre-ordered your next CD so I can pre-ask for my money back because it sucks!! Then before I send it back, I'll drive down the highway and toss it out the back of my van like a birdbath!! Then, I'll use it as a clay pigeon!! You guys suck so bad, in France, you are known as Le Suck!! If there were a Sucklympics, you would take Gold, Silver and Bronze!! Supertramp has been overheard talking about how you suck!!

[The reason for our CD sucking is because our engineer, Sinis...wait a minute...Finister Sinister...hmmmm, could this be Sinister Finister?]
