i'm trying to get Tales Of Terror in for the Kurt Cobain Top 50 list thingo. i think i have enough info for a lineup on their s/t record:
///
Mike Thorpe||Thopper Jaw
Pat Stratford||Rat's Ass
Jeff Magner||Dusty Coffins
Lyon Wong
Steve Mender||Captain Trip Mender

and can link them to Square Cools - Not So Quiet On The Western Front compilation:
///
Pat Stratford||Rat's Ass
Pat Imel >>> did he release anything else??
||Louie
Jeff Magner||Boots Magner

i've worked out a few other bands that they were in but am having trouble on pinning down a lineup. does anyone know if anyone knows if Pirates Of Venus released anything? and does anyone know a lineup for the two Hot Rod Shopping Cart releases that i know of - their songs on the 'Eagles Drift In' compilation, and the 'Shit Gets Smashed' compilation?

thanks.

I just ordered a copy of the Rebel Truth discography CD, which may give us a path to Tales Of Terror.

I found something much easier. See my entry for Ding Dang.

Ding Dang will also bring in Verbal Abuse and 23 More Minutes (if we can find Keith's last name.)

I'd love to find a Pirates Of Venus demo, but haven't had any luck so far.

Not that this is that pressing anymore now that Tales Of Terror is in, but I just ordered a copy of the "Eagles Drift In" comp CD for $4. Maybe it will have the Hot Rod Shopping Cart lineup in there.

The CD does not have any member credit for Hot Rod Shopping Cart. Bummer.

Kat:

We took care of that a few years ago, and I believe everything we have is correct:

I'm from Sacramento and am a member of that TOT FB group.

Can you get a lineup for the Hot Rod Shopping Cart songs of the "Eagles Drift In" comp?

im friends with Pat Stratfords brother so i asked him for band line-ups for these 2 bands. so heres what he gave me-

"smog vomit-bass joey from verbal abuse guitar noodle played drums & pat was pirates of venus hot rod shopping cart was pat, dave chsvez from code of honnor,trip and jay merraz on drums."

Pirates of Venus-

Pat Stratford (aka Rats Ass)-vocals
Eric "Joie" Mastrokalo-Guitar
Smog Vomit- Bass
Noodle-Drums

Hot Rod Shopping Cart-

Pat Stratford (aka Rats Ass)- Vocals
Steve Hunt (aka Trip)- Guitar
Dave"Koko"Chavez-Bass
Jay Merraz-Drums



so how do we go about putting these band members on the tree?

No luck finding out anything about Smog Vomit or Noodle. Also coming up empty on Jay Merraz. Could it be Mraz?

A commenter mentions Pat did "a duet with Jason Mraz," but perhaps that's mixing him up with the famous Mraz.
