Crackhouse - The Acid King




Crackhouse was a brief project from David Gilden and Erik Amlee emitting a raucous combination of tape manipulation, noise and random guitar abuse. Good enough in itself but any of Gilden's work is notoriously impossible to get hold of and seems to have just ceased to exist. Well it had seemed like that ... in the past year alone, there have been three reissues of his harsh noise releases from the brief window of 1995 to 1998. Hopefully there will be a lot more to come.

This is a CDr released on Mandragora Records in 2001. Never been for sale on Discogs apparently ... do we get a medal for that? Or a badge? Okay then, a "brave little soldier" sticker ... yeah, nothing then. Fuck you!

I'd prefer a medal but I'll give it a go.

Krackhouse's first album ("The Whole Truth" - 1987) is a killer.

That's Ricky Kasso. I used to pen pal with a girl who was loosely involved in his peer group, and later read the book about him. Damn, I need to look into this.

hands up ... didn't know who Ricky Kasso was. thanks, that's very interesting!

@RG ... this is the only Crackhouse release I have ... any help remedying that gap in my brainspace would be greatly appreciated!

Might you fine folks know about this? Think I discovered it awhile back after reading that a close friend or family member maintains this. They've even reposted (with credit) the Sawgasm album from this blog.
