Pearls Before Swine: The Early Years Volume 2 (Green Vinyl Reissue)
Kicking off the collection, we have Poison Idea performing their first ever gig as a high-velocity punk band on New Years Eve 1980 â truly an incredible find.
âWe put our gear in shopping carts and pushed it to the venueâ Jerry recalls as well as the reaction from Portlandâs first wave of hardcore kids, âThey only had 30 seconds in a song to throw each other around and pogo, so theyâd go for it. It came naturally, like the music possessed themâ.
The embryonic versions presented here of future Poison Idea classics like âGive It Upâ and âCastrationâ are played in a more quirky and herky-jerky manner than how they would appear three years later on their debut seven-inch EP, Pick Your King. This recording also holds the most unfiltered display of Germs vocalist Darby Crashâs influence on Jerry. âHis voice gave me the license to goâ states Jerry. âYou didnât have to be a trained singer. Just open up your soul and screamâ.
The remainder of this release is culled from a recording done in June of 1981 at a birthday party for Kim Kincaid, vocalist for local punk group, Neo Boys. The event was held at the short-lived but groundbreaking punk venue for Portland, Clockwork Joeâs. âClockwork Joeâs was like Peter Panâs island of lost boysâ Lang recollects, âThere was a lot of booze, a lot of drugs and a lot of young kidsâ. Hearing this ferocious, tightly-wound set, one can only imagine the sweaty debauchery that occurred that night, especially during the pounding rendition of âUnderageâ presented here, yet another future Pick Your King track."
