The Morlocks "Wake Me When I'm Dead" (live bootleg) 1991

Listen Loudest! provides a vehicle for bands from all over the world who meet their standards for loud, raucous records and tapes. This band is probably from California cuz all the cuts were taken from live gigs or studio recordings from Berkeley, L.A. or San Diego. My guess is that these Jegger obsessed, snotty attitude relics of the class of '66 hail from San Diego. They play the same "Girl You Better Straighten Up" brand of hairy brute music as the Untold Fables and Gravedigger V. The sound quality varies because it's taken from clubs with good mixes and clubs with bad mixes. - Debi Dip - Real Life In The Big City
They were the wildest band to come out of the US garage revival, that's for sure... no one matched those screams! I don't have a blog, but thought you might want to put up the Morlocks "Wake Me When I'm Dead" live bootleg (two studio cuts as well). It's pretty rare (if you look it up on the Bomp records site, they question if it even exists!). Only 500 copies made. They do some garage covers (Q-65, Count Five), but the strange thing is the funk thing start doing... Super Stupid included. They also cover The Nile Song by Pink Floyd. ANYWAY... I just got my vinyl back (a friend had it for about two years!) and I thought of you right away.
There is an official live record called "Uglier Than You'll Ever Be" which isn't very good, and another called "Submerged Alive", which I have read isn't live at all. I would be really happy to hear Submerged Alive again if you have it. - Rob Tyner

Looks like another low-bitrate zip, but any band that covers Floyd's 'Nile Song' is okay by me.

I think a low bitrate works best for a rough garage band! ; )
