As promised here is the one and only album by Black Randy and it's fucking great.The Metro Squad was a Hollywood punk super-group of sorts featuring members from The Randoms, The Dils and The Avengers. Their sound was spastic and funky. Think disco Crass.
There is a ton of stuff going on here, including a noisy version of "Say it Loud: I'm Black and I'm Proud" where Randy calls out James Chance for stealing his act as well as the dancey "I Slept in an Arcade" which was featured in the film "Ladies and Gentlemen... The Fabulous Stains."
PS:
- The band had a rotating and fluid line up, which even included back-up singers such as Alice Bag and Belinda Carlisle.
- There's a live track that references "Brenden re-opening up the Masque." Masque = Legendary Hollywood punk club. Brenden = Brenden Mullen who owned the Masque and wrote that really terrible movie about The Germs.
- "Ladies and Gentlemen... The Fabulous Stains" was directed by Lou Adler who's son is the worst human in the world and should kill himself.
