A salute to the late Alex Chilton, featuring a beautiful pic by Stephanie Chernikowski and a version of Alex's Big Star classic, "September Gurls," as rendered by my old punk band The Hormones. "September Gurls" was recorded on 4-track in the fall of 1997 in our guitar player's living room for the first of Duane Peter's OLD SKARS AND UPSTARTS punk rock compilations. R.I.P., Alex.
The Hormones were:
Tim "Napalm" Stegall - lead vocals and guitar, first guitar solo
Brew Zerr - guitar and vocals, second guitar solo
Ron Williams - bass and vocals
Mr. Bran E. Carlos - drums
Produced and Mixed by Brew Zerr.
i like the punk rock style a lot but for this song it kind of demands a certain sentimentality that thiis just doesnt deliver. interesting cover though.
