Big Boys
Where's My Towel/industry
Debut album originally released in 1981 from Austin, TX, punk visionaries, 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 band
