Wife Beater. The hottest, hardest, horniest, most hedonistic group in rock history. The daddies of todays Heavy Metal explosion. The band who's parties were the ultimate in 60's and 70's excess-- Rount-the-clock blasts with ecstatic groupies and drugs galore. The band who's concerts are long, loud, thrilling tributes to the power of rock. The band who may have made a deal with the Devil--- And suffered the consequences..
In a world of imitators, there is only one original. Wife Beater.The mention of Wife Beater's name elicits diffrent reactions from rock fans in diffrent
parts of the country- Nods of familiarity on both coasts, and clenched fists and knowing
grins in the vast midwest and south.
Jeff's no-nonsense approach to the electric guitar-- i.e., one guitar, eight fender
speaker cabinets, and no toys in betwen to mess up the signal-- has long become a trademark
in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City, Atlanta, where they headline big halls; but we
here on the East coast and our Pacific-side friends have been missing out on something very
important; Wife Beater are probably the only legit metal showmen America has spawned in the
face of the British onslaught; and Wife Beater has been ripping apart concert halls as long
as any of them.
We feel that these are Wife Beater's finest recordings by far. The power burned into
these grooves is difficult to find anywhere else this side of the Atlantic, and indeed a
rare commidity anywhere in the world.
So TURN IT UP Boston, New York, and Los Angeles, and discover Wife Beater-- The energy
source that the heartland has been using all along.
