BEASTS OF BOURBON: CHASE THE DRAGON (VIDEO)
February 3rd 2007 05:00
The Beasts of Bourbon are one rough bunch of booze-swillin’, blooze-rockin’ muthahs. “Chase The Dragon” is a favourite of mine by this Aussie supergroup, this particular lineup featuring Tex Perkins (The Cruel Sea), Spencer P Jones (The Johnnys), Kim Salmon (The Scientists, The Surrealists), Brian Hooper (The Surrealists), and Tony Pola (The Surrealists).
“Chase The Dragon” has a raw, gristley guitar riff that’s like chewin’ an overcooked steak at an Aussie barbecue with Tex singin’ at his meanest and dirtiest. This is tough music made by bad men, and is probably the best song about smuggling heroin from Kampuchea in a plastic bag up your ass, ever. Enjoy!
”Chase The Dragon” by Beasts Of Bourbon from The Low Road (1991 )
Oh yeah, the video is pretty basic, but there’s nothing cooler than Spencer P Jones playing his guitar with a cigarette hangin’ outta the corner of his mouth. Also, there's some cool, cheap, kaleidescopic effects, plus this should’ve won an ARIA award or something for best use of Glad Wrap in a music video.
