DIRT - SHE-MALE SUGARPUSSY / DRILL THE MINX (1990)
Dirt featured John Forbes of Mount Shasta and Phantom 309.
Grimey, grubby, grungy, bluesy and ugly Atlanta noise rock.
Mule meets Nashville Pussy meets Mudhoney.
(Tupelo - 1990)
I lived in Atlanta when these guys were around - I LOVED them. This is still one of my favorite "grunge" albums ever. It rocks! And their singer was so fun to watch - he had these HUGE bugged-out eyes. Really great stuff. When he moved to Chicago, he formed Mount Shasta and they tried to continue as Seersucker, but without his charisma and scream, they just couldn't pull it off. They did release one album - "Pushing Rope." It's alright, but it's no Dirt.
I found this at a thrift store ten years ago, Sad Hash is a really cool song, still something I play regularly. Wish I could find more about these guys.

That's awesome! I never got to see 'em. Woulda been cool. I'll have to look up some youtube vids, see if anything floating around.
That shemale on the cover is Benjamin from Smoke, another late great Atlanta band.
