ETHYL MEATPLOW Happy Days, Sweetheart 1993

Discogs

Artist Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Ethyl Meatplow was a short-lived, yet enormously accomplished, pseudo-industrial alternative/dance-rock outfit comprised of vocalist Carla Bozulich, guitarist Biff Barefoot Sanders, and drummer John Napier. Formed circa 1990, the group released three independent singles before their only album, 1993's Happy Days Sweetheart. The group earned a reputation for their live shows, which combined samples and electronics with live instrumentation. Happy Days Sweetheart earned good reviews in alternative/underground magazines yet the band spilt soon after its release. Bozulich became the vocalist for the pseudo-country-rock group the Geraldine Fibbers; she also sang on ex-Minutemen/fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt's 1995 solo debut, Ball-hog or Tugboat?.

SCARNELLA self titled 1998

Discogs

Artist Biography by Stacia Proefrock

Sometimes a trip can produce more than a few photos, a good story, and a souvenir t-shirt. Songwriter/vocalist Carla Bozulich and guitarist Nels Cline took a two-week trip through the Pacific Northwest and got an album out of it. Scarnella (1998, Smells Like Records), the name of both the group that Bozulich and Cline formed and the album that resulted from their partnership, was born on a trip that contained the beginnings of their work as a duo, four shows, six days of recording and mixing, and a whole lot of songwriting and improvising.
Bozulich and Cline had worked together before in the Geraldine Fibbers and both had stretched themselves in partnerships with other musicians: Bozulich in another band, Ethyl Meatplow, and Cline in the Nels Cline Trio, and in collaborations with Mike Watt, Thurston Moore, and Charlie Haden. However, both the unusual circumstances of the creation of this album and extra roles that each member had to play (Bozulich on bass and sampling keyboard, Cline on drums) meant that this was a project that existed on the edge of their previous experiences. The result was a sound that alternated between the ethereal space of the open road and the noisy organized chaos of random improvisation.

LOW POP SUICIDE The Death Of Excellence 1994

Discogs

Artist Biography by Michael Sutton

Low Pop Suicide tried to make an immediate splash by flaunting bassist Dave Allen's resumé; however, the band sounded nothing like his previous groups, Gang of Four and Shriekback. Formed in Los Angeles, Low Pop Suicide was originally a trio: Allen, vocalist/guitarist Rick Boston, and drummer Jeff Ward. They were also the first group on Allen's record label, World Domination, a small footnote in rock & roll history that might be the only way the band will be remembered since they had no impact, both critically and commercially, on the early-'90s alternative boom from which they were spawned. Low Pop Suicide borrowed from Nine Inch Nails' cauldron of industrial noise and hard rock aggression, but with none of Trent Reznor's focus or palpable rage; however, they did widen their artistic scope before their demise. Ward left the group after the recording of their debut album, On the Cross of Commerce; he was replaced by Melle Steagal. On the Cross of Commerce didn't sell very well, and it probably would've been forgotten if the video for "Kiss Your Lips," with its lesbian imagery, hadn't ended up on Beavis & Butt-Head. In 1993, Ward killed himself. Busy with his company and working again with Shriekback, Allen quit Low Pop Suicide. Mark Leonard took his place on the follow-up, 1995's The Death of Excellence. It was Low Pop Suicide's final attempt at world domination. Boston went solo in 1996 and Allen formed the Elastic Purejoy with Scott Petersen (drums), Joseph E. Howard (bass), and Marc Olsen (guitar).
