For those of you who aren't familiar
with Cretin 66, we pity you.
If you live in the U.S., you may have caught them on tour, or maybe
you have a copy of an old 7-inch (now collectors items), or, even better,
maybe you've gone as far as to purchase one of their historical full-lengths.
For European fans, you had a chance to see the boys on tour in early
2000--they hit Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, France and Spain.
They triumphantly returned in October/November of 2001 to promote their
second LP "Demolition Safari"---and to cause a few international
incidents at fast food restaurants. That tour included deafening gigs
in Germany, Switzerland, France and Spain. Besides, if you don't own
a copy of "Burnin' Rubber Outta Hell's Garage" or "Demolition
Safari" by now, you might wonder what the hell you're doing buying
records in the first place.
Second things first-if you've never heard anything
by this incredible band from-where else?-- the Almighty Midwest (the
birthplace of all things authentic and cool), you can use this website
as a means to to do so.
To get a taste of "Demolition
Safari", here's a few words that help put your head in the right
place:
"If the kids wanna know how to blow up a car,
I think they outta know!" (Go Kids Go, "Demolition Safari")
Them's fightin' words, straight outta Kansas City, Missouri and straight
outta the mouth of Screamin' Mikey C, head man of the legendary Rock
'n' Roll band Cretin 66. If you wimps thought that "Burnin' Rubber
Outta Hell's Garage" rocked your former Techno-hearin' ass, then
you got another thing comin'. "Demolition Safari" is the rebirth
of Ass-kickin' Rock 'n' Roll--where the spirit of Punk and the spirit
of Hard Rock meet. For Cretin 66, there ain't no posin' or fancy Rock
'n' Roll clothes--they are the real thing. The industrial metropolis
of Kansas City is indeed the a birthplace of sorts for a new genre of
Rock 'n' Roll--"R&BPUNKROCK'N'ROLLFUCKEDUPMETALLICNOISE."
Cretin 66 is living proof of this.
Not to fear--"Demolition Safari" is not too far removed from
"Burnin' Rubber Outta Hell's Garage." These Midwestern boys
justed turned it up a notch and sped up the beat. So, crack open a cheap
beer, throw on a slab of ribs, and get ready for the Rock 'n' Roll testimonial
of your life. . .Get ready to jump und Shang-a-Lang!
The current Cretin 66 lineup:
Screamin' Mikey C: vocals, guitar
