Scratch Acid

I had written a bunch of music with those kinds of influences.

And I think that we, I just thought, well, yeah, we'll be like, we'll be like Scratch Acid, but with trumpet and violin, you know.

Was

Scratch Acid from DFW?

No, no, they were from Austin.

They were? Okay.

The Monks did Oh How to Do Now from Black Monk Time from 1966.

And we close out the show with Scratch Acid doing Holes.

All right, that's all the show we got.

VCs, tack för i afton.

... you know, that, you know, choice for it, of course.

And, and, uh, then I was talking to Britt Bradford from Scratch Acid and, uh, 'cause we played music together in a band called Ariola 51, and I told him about the thing about how I n- don't really care for the term rock and roll so much.

And I was like, "If you gotta call your music rock and roll, to me that then you're not playing it because they should just realize it's rock and roll." You know, that's how you...

Why, why would you have to, you know, preempt it with that, especially with a band name? So we ended up, Britt goes, "Well, what about Five Dollar Rock?" And so we went with that.

You know, he, he definitely took a lot of photos.

But he mainly was, was, uh, formed and birthed out of the, um, the Texas punk movement, featuring bands like The Dicks, the Big Boys, Scratch Acid, who would later...

You know, members would go on and form Jesus Lizard.

Um, but so many cool photographs.

Yeah

...

Scratch Acid.

We're talking about-

[laughs]

Um, you know, Scratch Acid, you know, these bands, Ed Hall, others that people, unless you're from Austin, you probably haven't heard of.

So we just thought we were kind of in, in that vein, but we really weren't because we always had instrumentation that was, you know, like violin or trumpet or flute.

This kind of kept us, the weirdo rock and heavy metal kinda alternative crowd, they would see that and go like, "Oh, who are these guys? This is, like, some classical thing." No.
