Never, Robin Booth. Des Moines was basically a breeding ground for all kinds of trouble, from moonshine to total chaos. 😁

I'm kind of feeling the same way about it...😁 🙂 😈

Anyway, hand-drawn pull was around there, right? I don't know much about them personally, but I've got two tracks (Courage in a Bottle and Slut's Sons) that are absolute bangers. They must have some releases out there somewhere—do you think I could ever track them down?

Nah, man, they don't really have any official releases...
I actually lucked out because I have this buddy who used to live in Des Moines and knows the crew. He’s got a cassette with some recordings of RP and WF, so he made a copy for me... (the quality is pretty rough, but hey, it is what it is)
It’s honestly pure genius—like the American version of the gang of four...
The backstory goes a little something like this:
First, there was the band hand-drawn pull back in the late 70s, which eventually evolved into Jack Fatalist in the early 80s...
Those Jack Fatalist recordings were done up in some radio station studio. They were supposed to drop an album, but nothing ever came of it... they even played some killer shows at Kulušić (which was basically the gold standard back then), and word is the crowd absolutely lost their minds...
Wait, since you're from Indianapolis, do you remember that noise band from the late 80s, Married Body?
George (the guitarist and singer from both RP and Jack Fatalist) actually played guitar in that band...
Bottom line is, hardly anyone knows about RP and Jack Fatalist these days, and you can probably count their actual recordings on one hand.😢
My friend even has a video clip of one of their gigs in Des Moines—man, if you could only see the confused looks on people's faces in the audience...😁

So, yeah, if you're interested, shoot me a PM and I can digitize those recordings for you...

I only brought up Peach pit because they seem to be popping up everywhere lately.
