About the Band:

"Morasky and Flattum moved the band to Seattle, Washington where Darren Mor-X (drums) joined the band, before they all moved to San Francisco, California.[when?]

The band became known for their chaotic, noisy style and frequent use of television and movie samples, with several 7" singles and albums on Boner Records, before being signed to Slash Records and releasing their major label debut in 1995.[1]Their signing to Slash was part of a mid-1990s free-for-all signing bonanza of alternative rock bands,[1] particularly bands from the Northwestern United States in the wake of the surprising commercial success Geffen Records had with Nirvana,[2]many of which ended in creative and ownership conflicts. Steel Pole Bath Tub and Slash's relationship was no different.

Straddling the punk, noise, art and grunge scenes, SPBT was a touring staple. Between the years 1986 and 1997 SPBT shared the stage with dozens of notable bands. From veteran touring bands The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, Firehose and Meat Puppets to Bay Area punk bands, Neurosis, Christ on Parade, Jawbreaker, Operation Ivy and Econochrist to noise/art bands; Melt Banana, Crash Worship, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 and Ethyl Meatplowamongst many others. They were also closely associated with the Seattle scene, playing often with such core grunge acts as Mudhoney, L7, Tad, Hole, touring Europe with Melvins and performing a notable string of early dates on tour with Nirvana. Steel Pole Bath Tub toured the United States incessantly also traversing Europe and Japan several times."


Note:  This album came out of a personal Punk Rock collection that has been in hibernation for over 20 years.  The story is they were in the collection of the owner of Reptilian Records in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.  He gave several hundred of these punk rock albums to his friend to settle some debt.  Many albums are rare and/or limited first pressings.  Some are still sealed in original shrink wrap or appear to have only been played a handful of times.  Please check my other items listed weekly.  You don't want to miss something special!
