"Pass the Dust, I Think I'm Bowie."

by Black Randy & The Metrosquad

"Pass the Dust, I Think I'm Bowie." cover art

Acting as court jesters for the early Los Angeles punk scene, this wildly idiosyncratic ensemble fused confrontational, heavily synthesized funk with unapologetically vulgar humor. Fronted by an eccentric, provocative persona, the band tackled taboo subjects and pop-culture obsessions over manic, danceable rhythms. It remains a legendary, highly influential artifact of the underground West Coast art-punk explosion.
