VOX POP

Become A Pagan

Original US 12" Single released on Mystic Records in 1982.

Legendary US Punk Band featuring:

 * Dinah Cancer (later to 45 Grave; now in The Graverobbers)
* Paul B. Cutler (later to 45 Grave, Dream Syndicate, Naked Prey, producer, engineer)
* Jeff Dahl (later to Angry Samoans, Lazy Cowgirls, Poison Idea, Jeff Dahl Band. etc)
* Del Hopkins (later played in Jeff Dahl Band)
* Mitch Ochoa (disposition unknown)
* Don Bolles (Germs; later to 45 Grave; producer, author)

There's little documented about this L.A. band. They were active in the timeframe of 1978-1980 and preceded and perhaps overlapped a little with 45 Grave to which three of the members eventually ended up. They are most famous as a footnote to The Germs story in that this band is often cited as the reason Darby Crash kicked Don Bolles (Germs drummer) out of the band.

Apparently they released two (?) singles at least one on the same label that released some Angry Samoans (Bad Trip Records). The front cover photo of this record has Dinah Cancer holding what looks to be a 7" record (that's Paul B. Cutler providing the full frontal nudity and I think that's Jeff Dahl standing in shock to left). I am not sure whether this posthumous Mystic(!) release (1982) contains the singles or was previously unpublished material.

Don Bolles: Vox Pop was a big band in that there were like seven people in it, and one of them was kinda fat. So it was big that way, but really we couldn't pay people to go to our shows. People did not wanna go see someone being like Flipper-meets-Runaways-and-Faust. [Mark Prindle interview, 2004)

Paul B. Cutler: I had known Don and Rob from Phoenix and Dinah was Don's girlfriend. We had nothing better to do, so we started a band. [interview by Pat Thomas BOB Magazine; 1987 published on Steve Wynne's website]

Brad Duff: Vox Pop was basically 45 Grave with everyone switched around on instruments, plus Mikey Borens (I think) and Jeff Dahl, a couple other people (even me) were in and out of the band. [Dig It Fanzine; date unclear]

Nicole Panter (Germs Manager): Don Bolles wore dresses and make-up [in Vox Pop]. And Darby [Crash] was mortified: He'd get on Don's case, "People are gonna make fun of us if they see you like that." Darby was not an ironist. He was too deep in his own sh-t to see irony. - Lexicon Devil: The Fast Times and Short Life of Darby Crash, 2002

Jeff MacDonald (Redd Kross): I thought Vox Pop was fantastic! They weren't a "joke" to me -- at the time they were one of the only decent bands in town. I saw some incredible Vox Pop shows -- twice when I saw them Paul Cutler was nude. It was total rock and roll! [ Lexicon Devil, The Fast Times and Short Life of Darby Crash]

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
