Plimsouls Kool Trash–the title track! 1995 at Sunset Sound.

I think this will be my last Kool Trash post, and the last of the tracks cut at Sunset Sound in ’95.

Dig the crazy piano part, frantic tempo, pissed off lyric, and explosive ending. The Kool Trash album was completely overlooked at the time, even missed by a lot of our friends. Maybe it was lack of management, or publicity, or just the atmosphere of the era. We played a ton of gigs, with Clem Burke, and then later, Bryan Head, and they were all fun, but the muted response on the record eventually sorta made the band a dead issue: what’s the point of writing and recording new material? People just dug the old stuff. Don’t take your bands and songwriters for granted, folks, if you do they may have to go on their way. Oh well, its all ok, life is such a gift, if you’re not rocking’ somewhere you’re rolling somewhere else. And Kool Trash certainly has it’s fans…

 

If you want to hear the rest of the ones I’ve featured, go to the blog here at www.petercase.com/blog  and scroll down through he most recent entires. The titles I’ve featured are “Down,” “Playing With Jack,” “Lost,” “Pile Up,” “Dangerous Book,” and this one, “Kool Trash.”

Next I’ll post a track from my 1995 solo record Torn Again, “Baltimore,” which has a lot in common with these tracks.
