BIG BOYS - No Matter How Long The Line Is At The Cafeteria, Theres Always A Seat! (2024 Reissue) - LP - 180g Purple Vinyl [MAR 29]

LP - Limited Edition 180g Purple Vinyl Repress. 

Debut, sophomore, and final album from Austin, TX, punk visionaries, Big Boys, now available.

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 and the Gang, never wavering when venturing into uncharted musical territory.
