Grrrrrrreat obscure 1970 hard psych rock power trio from Walnut Creek CA. Stellar honest fidelity and superbly recorded live at Rick’s Lounge. Some excellent oddball Beatle remakes plus a nice cross-section of interesting covers and an apocalyptical barn burner throbbing rendition of "Susie Q."
LP is in demand these days... so don’t miss out on this small label locally-produced rock/psych gem!
"Get yrself over to the All Eternal Things blog for this very fun (presumably very rare) early 70s LP. Jacob sez: “What a great party these guys must’ve been. Basement fuzzed out guitar in the red, dimmed Jim Beam soaked vocals and a solid pulsing drummer. The Weight were the house band at Rick’s Lounge in Walnut Creek, CA. I think ‘Music Is The Message’ was recorded in 1970 or sometime after, but The Weight traded lack of fidelity, for '67 garage destruction. They cover four Beatles songs with unique ineptness and it mostly works. Fred Neil’s 'Another Side Of Life’ is turned into wasted hot beer southern rock. Everything is over the top on Susie Q, as revved up as possible, and by midway you forget what song your hearing, just rambling jamming, totally lost and epic." --Doom And Gloom From The Tumbler
