Henry's Dress was a raw & raucous band who made short, pop-driven songs about adolescent romance (or the lack thereof) and emitted a burgeoning, flexing sound, sometimes undescriptively referred to as being of the "garage" genre. Low fuzzy basslines, ultra-treble distorted guitar chords, and everything drenched in feedback, with flowing waves of almost undiscernable, beautifully melodic vocals (sometimes girl, sometimes boy), they made some of the greatest music I have ever heard. Please enjoy!

oh this drives me bonkers trying to download this!! it doesn't work! ugh!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm just finding this now. I *knew* there had to be some live Henry's Dress material floating around besides the Cool Beans tracks, and here it is. Thanks so much for posting this! I assume you already have "Pig," but if not, give a holler.
ReplyDeleteis "Wednesday Night Live Theme"..i have problem with these in the rar.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for uploading this! I was bereft when I found that the 10" is going for $100 most places. Slumberland should really re-release these!
ReplyDeleteI also have trouble with "Wednesday Night Live Theme" I can't extract it.
ReplyDeletehey, can you repost the link to download all of these?
