Feier departed the band for a full-time touring gig in The Cast of Beatlemania, which starred members of the Broadway show Beatlemania. As organist Kim commented, 'We go through more drummers than Spinal Tap'. The liner notes for the 13-song album were written by Blotto lead singer, Sergeant Blotto.įrom this point, the band line-up changed again with the eventual departure of both bassist Robin Graves and drummer Marty Feier, who was replaced by Rusty 'Krusty' Nales, then by drummer OP, and replaced again by Dave Pollack.

The vinyl was pressed in a distinct slime green color. The band's first full-length LP Have Hearse Will Travel was released by Sundazed in 1990. Sundazed Records releases rare and previously unreleased tracks by different garage rock and surf music bands including The Knickerbockers and The Five Americans. Shortly after the release of that EP, the band signed with Sundazed Records. The band's second release, the four-song EP The Second Coming Of 1313 Mockingbird Lane (Scarab Records 1989) was voted by both Schenectady Gazette and Albany's Metroland as one of the 'top local recordings of 1989' and was distributed internationally. Luv quickly departed and was replaced by former Link Wray Live In '85 drummer Marty Feier.

With later songs like 'Dig Her Up' and an anti- Beatles tune called 'I Don't Wanna Hold Your Hand', the prominent lyrical themes of gloom and doom presented by the band were combined with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek garage humor. The first of several 'must have 45s' was a debut single produced on Scarab Records in 1989, titled Hornets Nest b/w My Hearse Is Double Parked. The original line-up featured Haunted Hausmann (guitar, vocals), Kim13 (organ), Jay 'Robin Graves' Howlett (bass, vocals), and Steve E. The music of 1313 Mockingbird Lane was said to keep to the basics of fuzz guitar, Farfisa organ, and screaming.
