THE SPECTRES REVENGE
No Moon At Midnight/I Wanna Be Like Maynard G. Krebs (Augogo)
Augogo has the best mail order racket in Australia, but their label is too spotty to match their retail performance. (Probably not their fault, but just the outcome of a weaker pool of Melbourne bands to pull from as opposed to the great Sydney scene of Waterfront and Citadel.) This single is an exception to that. The sound is VERY much like the Scientists, with that same Cramps-influenced swampy sound. "No Moon At Midnite" has more of a kick than many Scientists records. "Maynard Krebs" alternates between a section with a cymbal bit like the Pink Panther theme and a piece that rocks briefly. It would probably mean a lot more if I knew who this geezer was, but ultimately I don't think even that would make me listen to it much. A one sided offering for sure.

thanks a million dude i think that's probably it...........wow i finally got an answer to one of mine !!!!! yeah !!!!
