The Dead Milkmen are an American satirical punk rock band formed in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their original lineup consisted of vocalist and keyboardist Rodney Linderman ("Rodney Anonymous"), guitarist and vocalist Joe Genaro ("Joe Jack Talcum"), bassist Dave Schulthise ("Dave Blood") and drummer Dean Sabatino ("Dean Clean").
The band distinguished themselves amid the local underground hardcore scene of the early 1980s through their jangly punk sound and sardonic humor delivered with thick Philadelphia accents. They attracted college radio attention with their 1985 debut album, Big Lizard in My Backyard, and the song "Bitchin' Camaro". Extensive touring and further releases helped the band garner an underground following.
They enjoyed international success on the strength of "Punk Rock Girl", a single from their 1988 Beelzebubba album which entered into MTV rotation. After an ill-fated stint with the major label Hollywood Records and four further albums, health problems and industry frustrations in the wake of their success led to the group's 1995 breakup. In total, they issued eight studio albums, one live record, and numerous peripheral releases before disbanding.
The group reunited in 2008, with Dan Stevens replacing the deceased Schulthise. In 2011, they released The King in Yellow, their first studio album in 16 years. They remained active thereafter, touring sporadically and releasing a string of limited-issue vinyl EPs.
Big Lizard in My Backyard is the debut album by The Dead Milkmen, released by Restless Records in 1985.
Although the album yielded no singles, it achieved enough notoriety to create a fan base for the band. Five tracks from the 1997 compilation Death Rides a Pale Cow: The Ultimate Collection are from the album, as well as four tracks from the 1998 compilation Cream of the Crop.

"Oh yeah, these guys...  I lived in Philly for years, and the Milkmen were more or less a joke band, releasing two goofy cassette tapes - that were admittedly, quite funny - but they were like the 'Rodney Dangerfields' or the scene (no respect)...  They got the last laugh, when they signed to a major label and enjoyed some college radio success with their hit 'Punk Rock Girl..."  For a while, I was in a short-lived band that shared the same practice space with them...  I also worked with the brother of bassist Dave Blood, and I was there when he got the news of his brother's suicide - sad times..."

Welcome to the Skeleton Closet!

I was a rabid music collector for 30+ years - Punk and Hardcore in the early-Eighties, Death Metal and Grunge in the late-Eighties, Industrial and Experimental in the early-Nineties, and Goa Trance and Psytrance in the late-Nineties and early-2000s…

I also worked at a record company for 13 years, toured North America with numerous international acts, DJed internationally, produced festivals, and had a clothing importing company.  So in this time, I’ve accumulated a lot of interesting and limited items...

Family life and other life changes have made me decide to unload my collection.  For the majority of the items, I have been the original owner of the item.  I try to be accurate on my description and condition of the items.  I have a lot to sell, so check back often -- I’ll try to keep the new listings coming weekly...
