about

Hunger Portland, Oregon

Hunger arrived in L.A. from Portland in late 1967 as the Outcasts, a teenage cover band, but within a six months they had found a connected manager, played all over Los Angeles, embraced psychedelia and signed on to record an album for the label their manager founded for them: Public!

Out
by White Heaven

supported by 5 fans who also own “Strictly From Hunger”

Old school Japanese fuzzed out psych from the classic P.S.F. label. Of the same cloth and time as similar Japanese monster bands Fushitsusha & High Rise, these tracks are less avant-garde than those bands and more focused on the songs and melody. Of course when discussing "Out" the stupendous playing of guitar master Michio Kurihara (later of the Japanese band Ghost) must be stated which sets the album on fire. I have been wanting to score this on vinyl for over a decade, totally worth the wait! bcb723
