New: Sandrider Music Video & TWO Jello Biafra trac
“Aviary/Baleen”.
Today we are proud to share the second single by The Tony Slug Experience, featuring none other than Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) on vocals! Tony Slug was first introduced to Dead Kennedys back in 1981 when they played at the Paradiso. Inspired by the new wave of American hardcore punk, Tony formed Balthasar Gerards Kommando (BGK), and in 1984 they crossed the Atlantic to play 35 shows in the USA, including eight with Dead Kennedys. The friendship between Tony and Jello lead to BGK releasing their future work on Jello’s Alternative Tentacles label.
Jello is one of the 30 musicians who feature on The Tony Slug Experience, an homage to Dutch punk pioneer Tony Slug, alongside Jennifer Finch (L7), Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters), Jerry A. (Poison Idea), Happy Tom (Turbonegro) and many more! As a tribute to his legacy, this international group of friends contributed to what would unfortunately become Tony’s final record; right after all recordings were on tape, Tony died at the age of 60 after a brief battle with cancer.
The Tony Slug Experience album will be released on 3/22/2024 on Suburban Records, Wap Shoo Wap, & Alternative Tentacles. The record comes in a gatefold sleeve with a foreword by Turbonegro’s Happy Tom, accompanied by a fanzine-sized biography. Choose between the classic 180g Black Vinyl or 180g Chilli Whacker Red vinyl edition.

Originally writing the song “Punch” in 1980, shortly after Margaret Thatcher had been elected Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Side A features a new recording of the song from 2021, while on side B the track covered by the Norwegian rock group, Motopsycho with a bit of help from the legendary Jello Biafra.
Originally forming 1989, and named after a Russ Meyer sexploitation classic, Motopsycho combines psychedelic influences with high energy punk rock n’ roll. Their output has been vast and varied, averaging a new album per year over the course of their 35 year existence that has led to a diverse and sprawling catalog that has been a delight to many a record collector and music fan.
The “Punch” seven inch will be available on March 15th as a dual release from Alternative Tentacles Records and Crispin Glover Records. Choose between the classic Black Vinyl or “Joke Figure” Orange vinyl edition.
