The Groovy Ghoulies may be the most obscure band on the Lookout weekend, but they a have a following of very dedicated fans, that were devestated when they broke up eight years ago. I was glad to see them on their tour through Winnipeg, but even happier when they released a new album in 2006. However I'm going way back to their first release Appetite For Adrenochrome. This album actually was released in 1989, but it was rereleased in 1996. The recording quaality leaves a little to be desired, but tunes like 2000 Man, or Armageddon 2000 make you forget about that with great lead vocals, and a sing-a-long feel that explains why they are so entertaining live. The best track I would say is My Computer Said "Kill".
I find it hard to explain the way the Groovy Ghoulies sound but maybe a good description is highway driving party punk. If you like fast power chord driven tunes that are a little Groovy check out these Ghouls.
"Highway driving party punk?" I have so much yet to learn! :o)
