FUCK YEA! AVOCADO / MAURICE'S LITTLE BASTARDS - Split - Tape - 2001

   Morgan (from SHARP KNIFE, STAMPEDE and TULSA), Dean (also from STAMPEDE and LOS RABBIS) teamed up with a person named Zane (who remains mysterious to me) to bring you this ridiculously monikered band, FUCK YEA! AVOCADO...actually, come to think of it, it's not that ridiculous. If you live in San Francisco, buy avocados from the corner store and put them in your sandwich, you'd probably feel the same way. Avocados are different out here. Trust me on this one.
   Anyway, FUCK YEA! AVOCADO were around for the shortest of times out here in SF and put out this screamy tape of fucked up sounding, breakneck-speed, melodic punk. According to Morgan, there is a VHS tape somewhere of their one tour on the Northwest, where every show was a renegade / generator show. In Portland, they played on a half-sunken pirate ship. In Seattle, they played on the street. On the ferry to Bainbridge Island, they played in the bathroom...etc,etc...
    Speaking of Bainbridge Island, that is where MAURICE'S LITTLE BASTARDS hailed from. I hardly know anything about them except they took their clothes off a lot and their songs seem to be about masturbation and stuff. Fast, catchy punk. Maybe you'll like it? Justin from this band went on to play in CLOROX GIRLS.

I can only describe the sound quality as "assy"

This tape comes from the mysterious paper bag of Mike Wilson.

    seem as if the file has been blocked due to "terms of service", probably because of the word "fuck" in the title. try re-naming and re-upping it.

    That's weird, because the file does not have "fuck" in the title that I used. I really hate mediafire. I'll see what I can do.

    Worked fine for me, and so did the Ford Festiva tape (which I've been waiting for!) but maybe they are re-ups. Mediafire seems to be about useless now. Check out limelinx, it seems to be fairly bullshit-free from what I can tell and they aren't badgering you for money at every click.

    The said mysterious Zane is Zane Groshelle, who played in a number of unfortunately short-lived and relatively untraveled, but great bay area bands through the early 2000's, like CRIMENY and BROWN RECLUSE. Not sure if Brown Recluse ever recorded, but there's at least a handful of Crimeny tapes floating around somewhere.

    Please re-up this. I remember seeing Fuck Yea! Avocado and thinking they were awesome. Maurices Little Bastards did like to get naked a lot and party. They were also nice kids. They used to tour with this band called the Pantaphobics. I think the Clorox Girls also has member(s) from that band as well.
