Legionaire's Disease-Rather See You Dead

The lead singer looks like a mixture between Iggy, Buffalo Bill, and Vivian from the Young Ones. The bassist looks like Bruce Foxton from The Jam.

Okay, I have to make this quick because there is a To Catch A Predator marathon on TV. Legionaire's Disease were from Houston Texas. I love when records sound ahead of their time, and this one definitely does. Raw as hell, this record was put out in 1979. "Downtown", the B-side of this is a fucking ripper. Somebody had a Stooges obsession. Plus all the members of this band look psychotic .The video is from an old public access show, shot in a trailer park near where a friend of mine used to live. It's supposedly a meth crazed shithole. I love the demented sliminess of Texas punk. If you like this stuff, check out AK-47, Boy Problems, or Vast Majority.
