This
is four song cassette, two songs per side, and when I first put it on I could
hear a bit of Veruca Salt coming out, yet since the most popular VS song out
there is probably “Seether”, I almost wrote that name down instead which would
have made for quite the different comparison, no?
The
second song on Side A is a live cover of “Are U That Somebody” (R.I.P. Aaliyah)
and it’s not the best recording of it, but it gets the job done and I can still
appreciate it. What I don’t understand
is why after the song the track keeps recording to inform us that Thelma and
the Sleaze have merch for sale and what not.
Does it really matter how many songs they have left if we’re not going
to hear them?
I
guess it only really annoys me though because it hints at the fact that the
entire set from that night was recorded and if that is true why don’t I have
that cassette also? (Not rhetorical)
Side
B offers up two songs of rock n roll.
The second is almost like Kiss, which is odd to type, with some organ sounding
blues mixed in. Maybe if Little Richard
somehow replaced Gene Simmons? The
first song is almost a heavier rock n roll and I can only think it sounds like something
off of the “Wayne’s World” soundtrack, which is rad because I used to… wait for
it… have that on cassette as well! (It
might still be in my parents’ attic somewhere, who knows)
For
a live song plus three other solid songs, I don’t care what Thelma is asking
you to pay for this tape, you give your money to The Sleaze!!
