Well, that's the last of the weird. WEIRD OCTOBER, that is. Around here, thing will always get weirder before they get weirder.
Geza X is an L.A. based producer whose credits include some of the biggest names in punk (The Germs - Lexicon Devil EP & Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia to name just two).
He was also a musician, a guitarist & vocalist, leader of Geza X & the Mommymen. This is their only album.
Lovers of weird science fiction noises & catchy, up-tempo songs will enjoy "We Need More Power" or "Isotope Soap". People into Danny Elfman/Tim Burton dark carnival weirdness will like "Pony Ride II", "Rio Grande Hotel", "The Paranoids are Coming" or "Practicing Mice". If you want weird novelty funk with annoying, high-pitch “meow”s, you’ve got “Funky Monsters.” If you want weird ethnic music making fun of Geza X's very own ethnic background, you've got "Hungarian" (apparently, they have an IQ of 6!). If you're looking for weird creepy as all hell, demo-era Devo style, robotic music you've got "Mean Mr. Mommy Man". If you want weird poppy new wave, you've got CD bonus track, "Rx Rock & Roll". And, if you want a weird xylophone filled rock song that trashes the very people that listen to this record, you've got "I Hate Punks". All in all, it's all weird.
This is the 2002 re-issue of the 1981 classic with two bonus tracks.
