Hey Dummy, you missed four biker flicks at the Egyptian this weekend and you missed Davie Allan in person with cast and crew. You were too busy working on this dumb site no doubt. Attendace sucked all weekend and because of you and your lame friends that failed to show they probably won’t do any more cool stuff at the Egyptian again!

(On a positive note I was able to get the Dart to start this morning using the screwdriver trick.)

i once had a vinyl copy of the cycle savages – excellent! i can still remember the anthemic ‘we have already died’ and the sexy ‘mourning becomes electra’ among other hits by Orphan Egg and the Boston Tea Party. another excellent release from American Internation Recordings

Rick Hall, you rule! This is one of those artifacts that I’d forgotten all about—and the chick’s pants on the album cover! Mmm-hmmm!
I just watched the recently released on DVD “Werewolves on Wheels”—I can only recommend it to die-hard biker movie, werewolves and/or Severn Darden compleatists. The first 10 minutes (a “run” montage) is pretty good, but then? Bleh…But the music! Sometimes the heavy feedback devil dirge gets out there. But sometimes it was totally retarded, too…

Harley Sfumato, “almost none of the music on the soundtrack is actually in the movie”—this is also what happened with The Glory Stompers (another fave biker flick of mine; forms the Holy Trinity of Biker Flicks with The Wild Angels and Satan’s Sadists); I would say that at least 90% of the soundtrack album is NOT in the film. But the actual album is well worth hunting down:
Casey Kasem provides bombastic quasi-Mitch Miller delivery on several of them.

i believe i still have a vinyl copy of this one, if it survived the occasional purges. you’re right, track one is the only good one. i’m still looking for a vinyl copy of CYCLE SAVAGES soundtrack. i found the movie on DVD and oddly enough, almost none of the music on the soundtrack is actually in the movie.

RECORD BROTHER blog went through a whole series of biker movie music but i caught it too late, mp3s had been pulled. now they’re in the seventies coloredsploitation thing. ya gotta go through a lot of tunes to find the gems, but check it out if ya get time. (sorry to give a plug to another blog)
