The Endtables
from bluecat.leo.com
In September 1979, a singer named Steve Rigot, guitarist Alex Durig, Albert, Durig’s 15-year-old brother and bassist, and drummer Steven Jan Humphrey recorded six songs at Real to Reel Studios in Louisville. The band now known as The Endtables released four — “Process of Elimination,” “The Defectors,” “They’re Guilty” and “Circumcision” — as an EP on their own label Tuesday Records. Mike Bucayu released the other two “White Glove Test” and “Trick or Treat,” as a 7-inch on his Self Destruct label in 1991. The 45 is long out of print and has fetched more than $100 on eBay.
On April 20, ‘The Endtables,’ which also contains seven live tracks, will be available from Drag City on LP ($14), CD ($12) and mp3 ($9.99).
