Big Boys
Lullabies Help The Brain Grow
Sophomore album originally released in 1983 from Austin, TX, skate-punk stalwarts, Big Boys. The Big Boys got their
start in the late 1970's Austin punk scene. The band was fronted by the occasionally cross-dressing Randy "Biscuit"
Turner, with Tim Kerr on guitar, Chris Gates playing bass, and a series of drummers - the best known of which is Rey
Washam (Scratch Acid). Unlike the rest of the early hardcore scene of the day, they weren't afraid to stray away from
superfast tempos in favor of some nice white boy skate funk. Beyond the funk tendencies, the band at times played an
early brand of post-punk not unlike their contemporaries The Minutemen. Thanks to their inclusion on some of Thrasher
magazine's first "skate comps," the Big Boys were hugely popular amongst the new 80's skate punk crowd. They were also
known for the encouragement of crowd participation, breaking down the barriers between performer and audience. They even
covered Kool & the Gang, never wavering when venturing into uncharted musical territory. Now y'all, go start your own
