An agitated alliance of atonal string, wind and percussion. Thick and chunky with a Black Eye and Aberratn sauce.Adelaide’s insoluble MEN WITH CHIPS submit to scanners this battered platter. Sharp implements smothered in a dry-retch resonance, shoved into corrugated tubs. Like when Jim Barnes and Don Cherry went into the landscaping racket together but it didn’t work out. “Adelaide’s Men With Chips are part sunglasses-at-night scuzz rock smart arses, part no-wave art-punk de(con)structers.”—Repressed Records. Limited edition of 400 copies."Adelaide, AUS three-piece, no-wave art-punk scuzz-rock, hyphenated all to hell. sometimes it?s a free-jazz soiree, featuring atonal strings, wind and percussion (even a woodstove!), others it?s an angular aussie-rant. jangly, noisey, messy, a little something for everyone. reminds this loser of drunken-confidence, viewed from the sober-perspective." ?Adelaide?s MEN WITH CHIPS are part sunglasses-at-night scuzz rock smart arses, part no-wave art-punk de(con)structers. The extended number on side B Great Ape With Rib has a great Clear Spot era Captain Beefheart boogie going on.? ? Repressed Records ?Five song groinage from an Adelaide trio who wrap each other in bass strings as tight as possible before taking turns to lick side b of Tripod Jimmie?s A Long Walk Off A Short Pier. There may be some Aberrant/Black Eye precursors too, but you knew that already. The 10 minute improv closer ?Great Ape With Rib? clinches this as yet another essential slice from the City of Churches.? ? Fuckin Record Reviews
