For me when I think of Stikky I think of fun. These guys were a Bay Area hardcore band that I was lucky enough to see at Gilman street almost weekly. Seriously, in those days either them, Isocracy, Operation Ivy, Corrupted Morals, Sweet baby Jesus, or the Lookouts were opening a bill for a touring punk band. Stikky played "wacky" joke filled hardcore that was done in a fast, sloppy manner. I love the song "on top 'o the world", as it was on a tape comp that my band was on as well, the tape was called Lethal Noise vol 2.
I believe both these demos are pre Chris Dodge, who later joined the band and put records out on his label, Sap A Ham records. These guys almost invented "powerviolence". Demo #2 is better in my opinion, as its faster, and tighter punk. Enjoy, and comment if you want more.

best band!!! do you also have their other demos? or maybe an isocracy demotape? that would be rad.
ReplyDeleteyou do a very cool blog!!
The only other things I have by them are a practice tape from May 1987, and a live at Gilman street set from the same year.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the Isocracy demo... I'm not sure if there is one?
glad you dig the blog. Nate
Hi man!! Thanx for posting this amazing stuff. BTW, what's the name of your band??
ReplyDeleteYet another amazing post. You're right about the second demo being better. I could get into these guys, Op Ivy and Corrupted Morals at the Gilman but not so much those other bands you mentioned. At the Gilman it got to be at one point if you weren't a lookout band you couldn't play there. Humboldt bands never seemed to get any play there. Al Sobrante migrated up to Humboldt somewhere in that time frame and Larry Livermore used to lurk around too. I noticed other blogs starting to link you up when you've asked and was wondering why you hadn't done the same for me or least given a fellow blogger some criticism. Anyway, happy blogging.
ReplyDelete@gloom666: a practice tape? could you upload this here or send it? that would be so awesome! cheers!
ReplyDeleteMy band was the Romper Room Rejects, but that was 1987...in S.F. the demo is on the blog.
ReplyDeleteJustin, hit me again with you blog and I'll link you up. thanks nate
Nate I have seen your blog linked up all over the place and with good reason. Your site just plain rips, stuff that everyone into metal or hardcore should have. Mine is pretty varied style wise and is not always that rare. I would really appreciate your comments, criticisms and anyone else's for that matter. We seem to have some shared Nor Cal experiences from the same time period. Anyway check it out at mustard-relics.com , thanx again. Justin
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I think I came out of Gilman covered in garbage from an Isocracy show more than once in the 80s.... I watched the Op Ivy tag the Stikky van until someone finally told them to stop. Funny memories.
ReplyDeleteI saw this tape on ebay the other day, Great post! I have "Spamthology" on my PC and "Where's My Lunchpal?" on Vinyl
