Drumming was originally by John Buron, who was replaced by Kevin Whitley. The provenance of their namesake was never revealed, although multiple explanations were proferred by band members, media, and fans. The track "Who's Ed" on debut album "Albert" does little to dispel the mystery.Ed Hall foraged for a hypnotic groove underneath a sh*t-rain of freestyle guitar insanity - a joyous noise, made all the more exciting by the band's stage theatrics. The trio covered themselves in flour for a while, until they realized the flour dust could ignite and go up like a miniature grain elevator. Eventually, they switched to fluorescent body paint, bathed the stage in black light, and played against a backdrop of bizarro film loops by Luke Savisky, or movable, larger-than-life marionettes of the band.The band emerged from the music scene based in and around the Dong Huong, a Vietnamese restaurant-turned-punk club whose proprietor Phong encouraged and hosted loud, obnoxious bands too raw and/or unknown for established clubs. The Dong scene was documented on a cassette compilation called The Polyp Explodes, which ultimately brought Ed Hall to the attention of Boner Records owner Tom Flynn and to the unwanted attention of Jim Adler (The Texas Hammer) when a class action lawsuit was filed for loss of hearing and mental anguish of many of the band's fans.- AlbumsAfter releasing six songs on the Mind Drum Records compilation "Charlie Manson Street," debut album "Albert" was released on the Boner label in 1988. Standout track "Candy House" was a taste of things to come on 1990's similarly bizarre and humorous "Love Poke Here." The band was subsequently featured in Richard Linklater's 1991 indie film masterpiece Slacker, and signed a contract with Butthole Surfer King Coffey's Trance Syndicate label and toured North America as the Butthole Surfers' support act.With each song named after an individual that may or may not have ever existed, 1992's Trance Syndicate debut "Gloryhole" marked a leap forward in the band's sound, whilst retaining much in the tradition of its two predecessors: open, loose backbeats overlaid with pop song structures, and plenty of Butthole Surfers-esque acid-damage. Production benefited gretly from the move to Butch Vig's Smart Studios, and highlights included "Buster Enamel" and the jakob-like instrumental "Bernie Sticky," along with a cello-driven cover of Kiss's "Beth" (also released as a 7-inch single on Trance Syndicate)1993's Motherscratcher has been described as the most focused, least whimsical Ed Hall album issued during the trio's career. The opening "White House Girls," with its exaggerated backbeat and laughing chorus, is a near-perfect example of the prickly riffs and trebly, note-driven leads of Gary Chester's guitar-playing, and the solid foundation provided by the developing partnership between bass player Larry Strub and new drummer Lyman Hardy, who replaced Kevin Whitley prior to the Gloryhole tour. Texturally, Ed Hall, with this album, was beginning to resemble a more cryptic and nuanced, less abrasive version of Flipper, one of the trio's most salient influences, and with whom they toured in 1994. Instrumental "Satori in Manhattan, Kansas" has been described as "strikingly beautiful" and "eclipsed by very little in rock music."Ed Hall's final album, 1995's La La Land was an extension of the ground covered on Motherscratcher - raunchy overdriven guitar scrapings underpinned by snaking bass lines and long-armed drumming, topped with vocals that testify and holler.Ed Hall split in 1996. Rumors of an eventual appearance of their unreleased sixth album have not been fulfilled. Bassist Strub moved to Thailand and taught English for some years. Gary Chester spent time in Moist Fist and Gold (which was just Pong), and Lyman Hardy played in a number of bands, including the Goin Along Feelin Just Fines. All three now play in retro-futuristic cosmic dance-rock combo Pong. A reunion show in Austin, TX in 2003 featured Chester, Strubb, Hardy, and Whitley, with Whitley and Hardy sharing drum duties.- Discography- Albums * Albert (1988, Boner) * Love Poke Here (1990, Boner) * Gloryhole (1992, Trance Syndicate) * Motherscratcher (1993, Trance Syndicate) * La La Land (1995, Trance Syndicate)- Singles * Deth (1991, Trance Syndicate)Crust was a musical group from Austin, Texas that was active during the late-1980s and 1990s and was featured on Trance Syndicate Records, a well known underground record label run by King Coffey from the Butthole Surfers. The groups members were: John Hawkins (vocals and misc.), Jerry Page (bass and misc.), and Richard Smith (percussion and misc.).- HistoryJohn Hawkins, Jerry Page, and Richard Smith formed the group in 1987.[1] Shortly after its formation, the trio (as "Mud Honey") organized and released a compilation cassette, The Polyp Explodes.[2] Along with Crust, the cassette featured the Austin bands Miracle Room, Ed Hall, ST37, Seemen, and Thanatopsis Throne.[2] The band's early instrumentation included tape loops, feedback devices, spring reverberators, and drum machines, but later incorporated traditional rock instruments such as drum kit, electric guitar, bass and keyboard.[1]The band embarked on a concert tour of the West Coast in December 1989.[1] Crust achieved some notoriety for their stage antics, which frequently included live earthworms, fresh beef tongues, nudity, and fire.[1][3]On Good Friday, 1990, Trance Syndicate released Crust's first EP, Sacred Heart of Crust; it was the first release from the record label.[1] The trio toured the East Coast of the United States and Canada; songs such as "Head Lice" emerged from the group's travel experiences.[1] Trance Syndicate released the band's first full-length album, Crust, in 1991, followed by a second album, Crusty Love in 1994.[1][4] The band continued to tour, but scaled back its live performances following a series of mishaps (including one in which John Hawkins was stabbed), finally disbanding after an appearance at the 1997 SXSW festival.[1] The band performed a reunion show to a sold-out crowd at Room 710 on May 22, 2004 in Austin.[citation needed]- Discography * 1990: Sacred Heart of Crust(EP) * 1991: Crust * 1994: Crusty LoveSeth Spicker Maxwell, a.k.a.
