Something I Learned Today

Punk Rock and Other Assorted Bullshit

Weird Lovemakers


As much as I hate to admit it, the Weird Lovemakers were a band I took a chance on simply because of the name. I mean, how could I resist? Most of the time these gambles don’t pay off, but this one was a definite score. Tucson’s Weird Lovemakers play high energy, high speed songs that are short, catchy, and sometimes just downright strange. Between 1994 and 2000 these guys released 5 albums of adolescent geek rock, two of which I didn’t know existed until I began researching this post. Guitarist Jason Willis and drummer Gerard Schumacher are currently keeping time with the very cool Knockout Pills. Enjoy

      No one ever mentioned Jason’s fekkin amazing blog, Scar Stuff?! It is not to be missed. Wish I’d thought to revist this post before Halloween, because Jason can sure supply the sounds.
