Discover the sonic adventure of the Big Boys' swan song, "No Matter How Long the Line Is at the Cafeteria!" Originally released in 1985, this final opus from the Austin punk pioneers is back to rock your turntable all the way.
Emerging from Austin's vibrant punk scene of the late '70s, the Big Boys carved out a unique niche for themselves with their genre-defying, boundary-pushing sounds. With the charismatic, sometimes cross-dressing flair of Randy "Biscuit" Turner, the dynamic guitar playing of Tim Kerr, and the captivating basslines of Chris Gates, these pioneers infused their tracks with a distinctive "white boy skate funk" that set them apart from their hardcore peers. A line of drummers that included the famous Rey Washam added even more depth to their sound.
Their musical versatility reflected a fearless willingness to explore, as evidenced by their forays into post-punk influences reminiscent of The Minutemen or their surprising jazz-infused covers of Kool & the Gang. This openness made them darlings of the skate punk scene, earning praise through their appearances on Thrasher magazine's iconic skate compilations.
Now pressed on pristine vinyl, "No Matter How Long the Line Is at the Cafeteria!" delivers thrilling nostalgia with a bold, fresh twist. This release is not only a nod to the past, but a beacon for future punk generations. Here's an essential piece of punk history just waiting to spin on your sapphire.
