Ain't No Cure for the Summertime Blues

There is some discussion at Unfogged over whether Complete, a group from Fort Worth, is a parody band or not. I see no reason to think so. Besides, a parody of what? The Shaggs?

All I can say is that discovering their "Hot as Hell" yesterday, the first day of summer, was the kind of synchronicity that can haunt you forever:

Sounds like I've found my theme song for the next three months.

Want more? Check out this interview with the band. And for the hard-core fan, I recommend a trip to "Hoogie-Boogie Land", which is sort of like "Imagine" if John Lennon had huffed a lot of airplane glue ("There is no war, there is no hate, can y'all relate?")

They better not be joking about having an album in progress.

UPDATE: If you want to play the bass part to "Hoogie-Boogie Land" but cannot do so by ear, you might want to consult the tab.

UPDATE: According to a comment at this site, the footage is from a public-access TV show circa 1996. So it's vintage, and I guess the album never happened. Damnit. One poster says the band is "like Captain Beefheart ran a gas station in 1981 Texas and forced the employees to start a metal band."

There is a fan page.
