Description
Black Randy and the Metrosquad was a punk rock and Synth act from the late 1970s and early 1980s in the Los Angeles punk scene. They gained notoriety not only for their surreal and smutty sense of humour, but also for their amalgamation of proto-punk, 1970s porn, pop, and avant-garde music.
Contents, an auction for original press of "I Slept in an Arcade" 7" 45 on Dangerhouse. Not a fan club reissue, this the real deal! The sleeve has been chewed on the corners by my former pet in the early '80's. but record is in great shape and plays fine.
The band formed in Los Angeles in 1977 with Black Randy (born John Morris) as front man, David Brown on keyboards, and other members including Pat Garrett on guitar, who later joined The Dils.[1] However, the band had a rotating line-up, which even included live back-up singers known as the Blackettes which often included Lorna Doom, Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, and featured several members of The Eyes.[2]
Black Randy's lyrics gave him a reputation for being as witty as he was offensive with songs about porn, Marlon Brando, and Idi Amin.[3] Their first single, "Trouble at the Cup", advocated fighting the police, though this may have been tongue in cheek. His cover of James Brown's "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud" may not have been. Some saw this cover as an offensive reinterpretation of the song as a mocking attack on black pride (considering that Black Randy was white); others saw it as irreverent, ironic, and humorous. The band also covered various porn music themes from the 70s.
