Big Chief 'Mack Avenue Skull Game'
Big ChiefMack Avenue Skull Game
This a 'soundtrack' album, although fictitious by the not very well known Detroit band Big Chief of the late 80's-early 90's. This was their second long player (1993) on Sub Pop records & really was quite excellent for its time; even now it still sounds fairly fresh. Fusing elements of heavier rock with Blaxploitation funk with almost incidental 'groove' passages the album is actually (not surprisingly) dedicated to the deceased legendary guitarist Eddie Hazel from Funkadelic.
You may think that this album would be rather kitch. However, in reality the concept worked beyond the standard genre benders & probably did not receive greater recognition as simply they were ahead of their time; a time where grunge in particular was receiving the greatest attention in so far as 'rock' acts were concerned.

***I feel I've rushed though this a little, but I have some people coming over here soon (like now) & then most probably will not get another chance to get online until tomorrow evening. I hope you enjoy this release if it sounds like your kind of thing & get the album from this Sub Pop link.

a great record, very hard to find at the stores. where have they failed? great metal funk punk workout
thanks,
julio.
Ya, thanks Julio agreed. I think their failure was was they left Sub Pop for Capital with their follow-up release to this (Platinum Jive). It kind of kept the metal punk ethos in tact, but left behind the funk!
With Sub Pop they may have had their sound better organised, although their very first release also had no funk & it was more in line with their punk styled roots (Necros & Laughing Hyenas), but I think they got very little publicity or promotion due in part to the labels great success with grunge bands of the time. Shame!
Had they have come a long a little later, I think things may have been different for them?
Cheers!
