MalignantGrowth - Shame of the 80s WikiWiki

MalignantGrowth - of Louisville, KY. Words fail me: Fantastic lyrics, heavy, heavy, heavy, fast, fast, fast. Lead singer BrettRalph later went on to perform with MatineeIdol / AnvilChorus / BogChildren guitarist PaulAarstad in RisingShotgun. (A roumoured re-release on Drag City Records http://dragcity.com/dragcity.html ) MFG alumni and their contemporaries went on to from (or were formed from - see the LouisvilleHardcore link) seminal Louisville bands, PalaceBrothers, SquirrelBait and SlInt among others.

No one who attended their RossTheatre show could ever forget the sound that boomed from the stage after Brett's count of 1, 2, 3.... it was ocean-sized. It was then that I truly, deeply, understood what crap we (Most of us anyway...excluding all Aarstads of course!) were passing off as music here. A pox upon us silly opening bands for playing too long and leaving time for Malignant *Fucking* Growth to play only a handful of songs. Yancey had to cut the power to get us to leave that night. Truly the most shameful event of the 80s.--K
