RISE is
an attack on the corporations and the governments they control. War
Mongers, Dumbing Down America and Corporate Goosestep are examples
of the blunt, no-holds- barred lyrics leading the attack. The final
song,Arminius, is about the German barbarian who, against all odds,
defeated the Roman legions in 9 AD.. With "original, great, strange
and yet passionate vocals that simply offer amazing interpretations
suitable for the meanings that Lunatics want to share with the
listeners", Kenny is joined by Mike Brickman (Hirax), Jorge
Iacobellis (Hirax), Rusty Reens (Watch Me Burn), Bryce Waring and
Zeke. |
The 2nd
CD, Life Sucks (and I Love It),begins with the slamming title track
that “is veritably brimming over with philosophical considerations”
and parties on with Marijuana, Can’t We All Just Get a Bong? and
Drinking Problem (Can’t Find my Beer). It also includes everybody’s
favorite Crusty Monkey. The band was going through a transformation
during the making the record so several different combinations of
members and guests recorded the CD. The original lineup of Greg,
Neil, Yowzah! and Kenny are joined by Terry Carter (Wrathchild
America), Brian Perry (Prong) and Rusty Reens (Watch Me Burn) and
the guests include Dez (Coalchamber), Pete Stahl (Goatsnake), Kraig
Tyler (Crazytown), Greg Anderson (Goatsnake) and Kenny Pierce (The
Spores) |
This
psycadellic/punk/metal outburst is a preview of what is happenning
in America today. Kenny the Gardener paints a picture of the world
with songs about the growing conservative movement and corporate
control, from complaints about piss tests and the war on weed to
fears of religious fanaticsm and media manipulation controlling our
lives. Welcome to the USSA is recorded by the original lineup of
Greg Biribauer, Neil Taylor, Yowzah! and Kenny the Gardener. It
includes the 1st radio song Pigs On Patrol along with the Zappa
cover-I’m the Slime and Green Revolution.
