Rocket From The Tombs 'The Day The Earth Met The...' (2002)
We've been reading Cheetah's new book, prompting a revisit to the raw and untamed sounds of Rocket From The Tombs. As you may know, before RFTT splintered into the Dead Boys and Pere Ubu, they played around Cleveland and wrote some of the songs that would become staples in both the aforementioned bands. They never made any studio recordings, but this comp of rehearsal demos and live material sounds surprisingly good, rough and wild, not unlike the band themselves. We think their version of Raw Power is even cooler than The Stooges. Ain't it fun?

Ha, ha, Nazz. I did like when he said he was psyched to see Iggy and then he "helped" Iggy with some downers and baaaaad!
Excellent glimpse of things to come, cool
