"TEXAS IS AN OUTRAGE WHEN YOUR HUSBAND IS DEAD, TEXAS IS AN OUTRAGE WHEN THEY PICK UP HIS HEAD!"

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-set of American horror/hardcore punk band THE MISFITS (with BIG BOYS and OFFENDERS supporting), performing live at The Ritz Theatre, Austin, TX, on January 29, 1983. 📸: Bill Daniel.

ROMAN CANDLE MAGAZINE: "Whether it was hardcore or skating or bike messengers… you documented those things quite early on when they were still very fringe scenes. What’s it like looking back at it all now?"

BILL DANIEL: "As a photographer I’m not someone who shoots a lot. I’ve been shooting a long time, but I quit shooting bands in ’84, so it just stops there. There’s only 327 rolls of film of the punk stuff… so there’s not much. But yeah, in that batch I’m always finding things I’ve never noticed before -- those hidden gems I missed.

Because I’ve been printing and looking at these photos for such a long time, in a sense, all the people in my photos… they’re still 21 years old."

SAMHAIN TOURS IN '84, BUT BIG BOYS PULL THE PLUG AT THIS VERY SHOW.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a show flyer and/or gig poster for SAMHAIN headlining with BIG BOYS and CRIMINAL CREW supporting, live at Liberty Lunch, Austin, TX, on September 23, 1984.

PART II: Also featured here, the late, great Randy “Biscuit” Turner also during the BIG BOYS last show, Liberty Lunch, September 1984. 📸: Pat Blashill.

Man, I knew the BB had played with THE MISFITS way back when, but I never guessed that they also played with SAMHAIN this late into 1984. Wow, this is news to me, and I've never seen this flyer before, either! Anyway, I've always known that BB broke up in '84, but I never knew they held out this long into 1984 before deciding to pull the plug on the whole thing. R.I.P. (1977-1983) MISFITS & BIG BOYS (1979-1984).

"THE BOYS PATENTED COMBINATION OF HARDCORE SMARTS AND FUNK CHOPS REMAINS PRESENT AS ALWAYS..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on "Lullabies Help the Brain Grow," the second studio album by Austin, Texas hardcore punk/skate rock/funk punk/art-punk band, BIG BOYS, released under the Momentum Productions label in 1983.

ALBUM OVERVIEW: "The BIG BOYS' second full album, again overseen by Spot in the producer's chair, features the return of the "Fun Fun Fun" guest horn section, along with a change in drumming. While Schultz plays on half the tracks, the Boys also debuted their fourth and final drummer, Rey Washam, who would later gain notoriety for pounding the skins with SCRATCH ACID and THE JESUS LIZARD. The Boys' patented combination of hardcore smarts and funk chops remains present as always, with some extra laughs and fun present from the get-go.

"We Got Your Money" makes for a hilarious opener, with Turner leading everyone else in some great call-and-response while tackling the meatheads in their audience head-on ("And to all you frat boys/We got your money in our hands!"). Strong statements of intent abound -- as with all the early punk bands, continuing in the face of an unsympathetic media and society was a key point, so anthemic pounders like "We're Not in It to Lose" and "Fight Back" have that extra bite to them.

Kerr takes the lead vocals a couple of times; his softer tones bring a slightly calmer element to the album, making it even stronger as a result. "Sound on Sound" is especially fine, with random radio and TV broadcasts babbling in the background while the melancholic tune chimes along.

As always, the Boys throw in some fine, straight-up American punk like "Lesson" and "Brickwall," but while they do the job in their brief way, it's the songs which draw on everything the band liked that succeed the best. "Jump the Fence" covers the KAMIKAZE REFRIGERATORS, whoever they might be, with fire; "White Nigger" may push that concept a bit much for some, but the beat and brass works more than well. Calling one of the later tunes "Gator Fuckin'" has to win on the humor level."
