Blood Sausage is a band from Brighton, England, that kicks ass. If you've ever seen Beavis and Butthead's critique of Pavement's "Rattled By The Rush" music video, you'll remember their tirade about Pavement's laziness: "If you're gonna be horrible at least kick ass, like, you know, Jesus Lizard. I mean, they suck, but they kick ass." Blood Sausage is a band that could've served for Beavis' comparison. Vocalist Dale Shaw will present his ramblings, tirades, whatever really over their bluesy punk jams. I mean, they suck, but they kick ass. This excerpt of the lyrics from "Billy Joel" will give you an idea of how Blood Sausage kicks ass:
"Through his various recorded works Billy spoke to me. He sang to me...
I remember one day I was sitting there watching Billy Joel live in Long Island on video. Someone turned to me, a close family friend, and they said: "Do you really like this man?" I looked at them and I said: "He's my hero." They were staggered by my sincerity. Then it all began to crumble. A woman entered his life. Turned his head, turned his life around. I could never forgive him really. It wasn't really love I felt for Billy. Though looking back it could have been. I was still hurt. Billy met Christie Brinkley. This changed him completely. From then on every song had traces of her through it. I couldn't understand it. What did she see in this ???. From that time, everything he did has turned to shit.
THERE IT WAS, IT WAS EVERYWHERE. UPTOWN GIRL, UPTOWN GIRL. EVERYTIME YOU TURNED AROUND YOU HEARD IT. HEARD BILLY, HEARD BILLY SLOWLY SELLING OUT, SELLING HIS SOUL. I COULDN'T TAKE IT. I NEVER FORGAVE HIM. IT'S LIKE A PART OF ME HAD DIED. IT WAS MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH MISTRUST AND CORRUPTION."
