| "Folk-rock
bands are from Venus, garage-rock bands are from Mars." Man Behind the Curtain Productions is pleased to present this landmark release. This 2-disk set meticulously documents the short-lived invasion of the University of Dallas by five aliens from the Red Planet who proceeded to ruthlessly obliterate any classic BluesRock song in their path. Their influential* brand of frantic ThrashaBilly was so overpowering that Earth simply surrendered, offering a gig opening for the Reverend Horton Heat in exchange for a promise to return to Mars immediately thereafter. Their mission to procure Earth women was deemed a success,** and they were never heard from again -- until now. Ironically, the brief reign of terror by these young Martians in a hurry*** would have been completely forgotten except for a handful of rough cassettes and some snapshots of the devastation. With the aid of modern digital technology, MBC Productions has combed through these historical records and compiled this collection of their most frightening and error-free moments. |

* How influential?
Anybody who heard them resolved to never sound like that.
** It wasn't a success, it was just "deemed" a success. *** They set the land speed record for "Ain't Got You" at 1:31. For background research purposes, you may wish to watch the trailer for the movie "Mars Needs Women" (1968) at Netflix. |
