4. NIGHT OF THE LIVING WEDGE – The Wedge [2:31]
(Fred Grabert)
FRED GRABERT: lead guitar * LOU MAXFIELD: rhythm guitar * ACE THE BASS: bass * TOM BROWN: drums *
Produced by HAROLD BRONSON
From the EP The Big, Bad, Boss Beat Of…The Wedge, Rhino #509 (1980).
The band’s „Night Of The Living Wedge,“ an excellent example of combining a contemporary sound with a vintage style, is the most exciting track from The Big, Bad, Boss Beat Of…The Wedge EP, released in the fall of 1980. Missing are the traditional reverbed guitars. Instead, the guitars have a slightly distorted edge to them that wasn’t far removed from the rock guitar tone du jour at the time. The style of the tune, though, owes everything to The Ventures and Dick Dale.
Harold Bronson asked his friend, drummer Tom Brown, to recruit musicians to make a good surf instrumental record. Brown had a lengthy background as a drummer. He played with The Illusions (represented earlier in the collection with „Jezabel“) and he began a long-standing association with Eddie Bertrand after the breakup of Eddie & The Showmen. In the mid-’80s, Brown joined the staff of Rhino Records, where he continues to work as a manager of RhinoDirect’s Customer Service department („Goddamn!“).
