Dredded Kave Kooks (official)

The tunefully discordant Dredded Kave Kooks existed from 1987-1994 in Toronto. They were total subscribers to the Lo-Fi DIY ethic because that's the only subscription they could afford. Their last jam (which Mike participated in while wearing a striaght jacket) was actually on the first weekend after Kurt Cobain's death and produced the cathartic "Lucid Trust". 95% of their material was improvised and unrehearsed and recorded simply for the sole amusement of the band members.
Their shotgun approach to rebellion was probably the result of their collective subconscious' trying to circumvent the "bought" media and the corporate state fascist propaganda.
Pure youthful rage, misdirected as it was, yet the after effect of many jams was non-stop giggling for days.
Two official cassettes were compiled from about fifty hours worth of garbage and were eventually released (one in 1987 and one the year after) and sent to CHRY, CKLN and CIUT radio stations to end up getting some surprisingly steady late night airplay (especially on York U's CHRY). Unfortunately the only device they used to record their sonic assaults with was a shabby old boombox, but later upgraded to an actual tapedeck(!) and a $30 RadioShack bi-directional microphone. The boombox was subsequently put out of commission with a Louisville Slugger and a Black & Decker drill.
One wonders what could have been created had they got their sweaty, grubby, bleeding, hairy palms on more mics, a multi-track recording device and/or Phil Spector's pre-murderous mind.

Perhaps, if the Dredded Kave Kooks are lucky, the feeble artistic efforts of their spent youth will someday be noticed, and maybe, in some small way, those efforts will be acknowledged as the greatest works of genius ever created by Man.
