About Thunder Hips And Saddle Bags
Product Description Human Skab was a 10-year old singer from Elma, Washington. Thunder Hips and Saddle Bags is a 1986 cassette recorded by Skab, neighborhood pals, and siblings. It was injected into the underground network of tape traders, zine scribes, college DJs, and freak seekers, who were universally bowled over by its bewildering and utterly poignant snapshot of the mid-1980s. Skab's music--a battery including empty buckets, a garden rake, a $10 Martin guitar with three strings, a poorly-tuned upright piano, broken bottles, and a "Snake Mountain" microphone--is a response to He-Man cartoons, Twisted Sister, Ronald Reagan, the coolness of dinosaurs, the uncoolness of John Wayne, and commie-phobia. Review "IF CAPTAIN BEEFHEART WERE TEN YEARS OLD, THIS IS WHAT HE'D PROBABLY SOUND LIKE." -- Spin, 1987"Well, there's this 10-year old singer from Elma, Washington. He's really cool. His mom calls him Travis but his real name is Human Skab. Picture this: the Skab zips around the living room shooting toy guns. He hits the family piano with his fists. He tries real hard to play guitar. He makes up songs about terrorism and radiation and throwing rocks at windows. Cool!" -- Bruce Pavitt, Sub Pop Zine, 1986
