Punch Ya/You Talk Too Much (Live, 1975)

How ahead of their time were these guys? I mean the Ramones and Patti Smith LP's didn't come out till '76. English Punk Rock didn't start till after the Ramones had toured there. These guys sounded like this at Bowling Alleys in Milwaukee and Madison 1n 1975! This is from the Bun E's Basement Bootleg Series

Description of the
Bun E Carlos Blend of Coffee

Bun E's Coffee is a blend of coffees made from the finest gourmet coffees from Central & South America.  Only coffee's which pass our strict standards (and those of Bun E Carlos) make it into the blend.   This unique blend of coffee is a tasty brew that everyone finds appealing. (Hey Bun E does!!). Each is packaged in air tight bags with a label like the one pictured to the left.

Me And Bun E Carlos

Here's me and Bun E Carlos in the front seat of my (since deceased) 1977 Volare Station Wagon. We're on our way to Brooklyn's "Fireproof Recording"  where Bun E played on 8 Spike Priggen tracks in one day (nice going Bun E!). 6 songs are on my new all-covers CD "Stars After Stars After Stars" and there'll be 2 more on my next all originals CD (working title "There's No Sound In Flutes").

Buy the 1st Cheap Trick LP. It's the one Nirvana based their whole sound on.
Update: We have a quibbler in the comments already. Here's the quote for you unbelievers, from your God  "…We sound just like Cheap Trick, only the guitars are louder"- Kurt Cobain, Rolling Stone magazine." They also ripped off the Pixies if you hadn't noticed. And here's MP3.com's Nirvana similar artists page that lists Cheap Trick. Oh yeah, they're at the TOP of the list of Nirvana influences on AllMusic.com.
