The Fuckin' Flyin' A-Heads were a band from Hawaii most commonly construed as "punk", though white noise this pure takes a lot of work to perfect.
Both songs were recorded live in concert at the Leeward Theatre, Pearl City, Honolulu, HI. USA on Jan, 25, 1980. According to Dan Garret (drummer), it was the bands only Hawaii show. They moved to San Francisco shortly thereafter. They were soon banned from Sound of Music & The Mab. One of the most radically mixed recordings, ever.
"Somewhere far away there is a 60s endless guitar solo, a bass playing 2 notes, a cymbal being hit at a constant 2 / 4 beat, & a distorted voice talking. But mostly there is white noise, simultaneously complex & simple. It's quite disturbing when cranked up."
Re-issued by DeStijl Records, De Stijl IND 083 7", 2010 but it is once again OOP! A crying shame, to be remedied here.
