Redd Kross. Sometimes bands just hit the curve too far ahead. Even with their retro kitsch, the world never got in sync with these guys. I found this cassette(Third Eye) in a dollar bin at a record shop in OKC. I liked the cover and got it…popped it in my car stereo and Annie’s Gone hit me like polyester bricks. Just fun and power pop centric. I loved Bubblegum Factory and Elephant Flares. I played that cassette until it wore out. I then got Phaseshifter on cd and man…Lady in the front row and Ms Lady Evans…I still play those tracks! Without Redd Kross we wouldn’t have gotten Jellyfish. Now that’s a band of pure genius.
I had Jeff McDonald's exact hair for years, including when I first saw them live in 1990, lol. Freaking love these guys; it will forever be a mystery to me how and why they didn't become massive!
It's because; ironically in that they were still quite young, they'd been around 'too long' and the business needed some 'younger' rip off merchants (with a modicum of credibility) to take 'Alternatve Rock' to the mainstream. (Cue - Nirvana)
@@Scotty-PIt didn't help either that they never really slot in neatly anywhere: too oddball to fit in with the hair bands, too bubblegum for grunge. They just always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, doing their own thing.
@@eilrahc__ And that's exactly what should have made them stand out and elevated to the highest of success. I just don't get the music industry. So many people are missing out, not knowing their music. They were pure genius live too. I saw them so many times and it was always super fun.
I used to work at Perry's Pizza in Redondo Beach in the early/mid 80's and these guys would come in to eat every once in awhile. Cool dudes and I was the only one in the restaurant who knew who they were. I was hardcore punk at the time so it was like watching idols eat pizza.
The "R" section of my collection stands so tall. Ramones, Redd Kross, Roger Whittaker, Rolling Jones. This band is THE MOST!!! How does one NOT become a fan?
I remember taping this off Postmodern PST, a radio program that was on from 12 am till 2 am in NY and NJ in the late 80s and 90s when I was in HS. I would stay up late especially to listen and tape it...as it was the only time the GOOD music was on. To this day I have never met anyone else who has ever heard of Redd Kross IRL...and I feel bad for them. What a great band. What great hair. 😂
so...it wasn't quite NEUROTICA...buT! it had some of what a lot of us went to see onstage in the late 80's in hollywood or downtown LA. one show, they somehow got the entire McDonald's Land set from the tv commercial! another show opened with a wild film short they shot at La Brea Tar Pits or something like that...anyway--REDD KROSS was simply the best live band ever--(and i had seen Zeppelin in '77!) another show had the entire Tubular Bells into Linda Blair. once they did an encore of The Beatles "Rain" and i couldn't stop hearing and seeing that in my head for the next two weeks! i ended writing my best song ever from that >(Do You Want Me Tonite). any song from Neurotica had me losing it, i could easily go into a psychedelic flashback if they played McKenzie, Play My Song or Peach Kelli Pop. hell, i was even at the Shonen Knife show too... :)
Thus man....THIS MAN IS ALL 💕 LOVE. ALL 🕯️ LIGHT. HE is in me, always. ...thank you Tyson for opening your note book to me all those years ago, Lounge Ax, Chiy, IL. ... I NEVER FORGOT that or You❤. I still LISten...i always will❣️🙋🙊🙉🙈🔥🌭🤗❣️
I appreciate your shout out but please please never forget LYRAfucknCIST. Her words, her poetry, made Bongwater everything it was along with Kramers music, arrangement and production.
On the Double Bummer Masterpiece Decadent Iranian Country Club, David Bowie Wants Ideas, His old look, Jimmy. Folk Song on Power of the Pussy Listening to Bongwater 88-90 is one of the few reasons I'm still on this rock.
They fuckin rocked live plus they got Anne Magnuson from Bongwater in this vid. Never that into guys but a 4some with those brothers and Anne would capped that time in my life.
THIS MAN!!! This Man IS ALL LOVE 💕. THIS MAN has been in me even Before he opened his note book to me at Lounge Ax, Chicago, ILLINOIS all thise years ago...I NEVER Forgot u Tyson❤ ... Because you are in me, always been Darling 💋 MAN🤗❣️🌭🔥🕯️💌🙋
Not sure if it is intentional, but anyone else catch the Frank Sidebottom reference? Top left when they show the band playing on the polkadot floor. :)
Holy shit, so a few years ago I saw one of those huge prop dolls up on Craigslist for free, but it had a bunch of damage to it for Sitting for so many years and I remember lowkey being tempted to take it but I had nowhere to store it lmao. Had no idea what it was from but noooow I know. Wow.
I get Squeeze-y vibes from this particular tune. Either way, love the many incarnations and changes they went through and right now I need some velvet capri yoga pants.
They're not popular because they're great. The pop music awards are simply the industry giving itself awards. same with the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame. popularity and money and fame minus music.
Tocan bien los muchachos, todo lo que hacen es un cliché. Pero logran que nada moleste, y hasta caiga bien, tiene su mérito. Todos buenos músicos y con sentido del humor. Y más encima medios femeninos, jejeje, rules.
I wish there was a video like this for Faith Healer! I love this video and the costumes and I was really inspired by it when I made my latest music video: ruclips.net/video/ZYitYb82rGQ/видео.html

@@Scotty-P The singer was around 30 something when this song came out (he looks WAY younger tho)

Yes indeed. And, that's why we love 'em so much! Right?!@@eilrahc__

Omg I used to eat there! I lived close by in Torrance. I didn't even know these guys were from Hawthorne.
no band is cooler than Redd Kross....great evolution over the years...this video is jam packed with great timing
Jellyfish were/are
@@DrGrafenberg The bass player from Redd Kross played bass on Jellyfish's Spilt Milk.
@@MHMusic85 Red Kross don't have good songs tho
@@DrGrafenberg Disagree.
Hilarious that Steven is in the Melvins now
This is definitely the coolest shampoo commercial I know
😆😆😆😆
They used to be major hair farmers...
@@andrewbarrett4276 Is that bad? To hair farm sir???
Not at all sir!
Comment of the year!
They were so cool in the movie Spirit of 76'
I saw Redd Kross on the same bill with Jellyfish and An Emotional Fish at The Ritz in NYC. What a riot that was, man!!!
I can't wait for the documentary
Great song from a great album!! "Third Eye" remains one of my all time faves to this day. Such an underrated and underappreciated piece of music!!!
Whoa, Jack Irons on drums!!!!
I'm glad someone else noticed too!
The "R" section of my collection stands so tall. Ramones, Redd Kross, Roger Whittaker, Rolling Jones. This band is THE MOST!!!
How does one NOT become a fan?
cuz they are weak and lame hippies
Love Ann Magnuson in this vid!
rediscovering Red Kross .... didn't know much of their stuff really ... love this! And the hair .. I want hair like that ...so swooshy ....
This is a fun record. Enjoyed seeing them touring this back then. Cactus Club, San Jose.
Robert was always a pleasure to listen to. Great guitarist.
I've always loved this song and video. My god that man is pretty! And the hair, all the gorgeous hair! The bangs are just an awesome touch.
always been a red kross fan but in this èra I feel they put too much emphasis on their image, also too many hair flips..lol
Great album. Probably my favorite Redd Kross album. I wish they'd remaster it.
This song deserves this video.
I MEAN JUST THE COSTUME CHANGES MELTED MY MIND.
Robert Hecker is a great guitarist.

Lotta your views on this are me always coming back to it!
i love that if you go to their wiki page you can tell someone who is/was in the band has been editing it themselves
Lol
Great single!!! If there is (was?) any justice in the music biz, this would have been A HIT!
This whole fucking album should have been huge. Bubblegum Factory is a pop gem as is this track.
Spectacular talents!!!!!!
Third Eye is a great album. It's a big tribute to 70's pop.
I remember them from when I was a teenager, thought I’d check them out properly.
Glad I did 💚❌
Delirante vestuario y atrezzo.
Grandes en directo. Madrid.
I forgot all about this band! I remember really liking them even though I never bought any of their cds.
I loooooove Rocky Schenck! Everything he does is so weird and awesome!
Fucking power pop anthem of the 90s. Should have been a massive hit.
I came because the bassist is currently playing for the Melvins.
Swear
I came because the Bass player plays with OFF!
Lol King Buzzo said he hated Redd Kross
@@duckyyyaj247 Buzzo is a Jerk off . If the drummer didn't stick with him all those years the Melvin's wouldn't be know
Aaron Hilton true
One of the best bands ever!! Waiting for you in Madrid as soon as the pandemic ends!
Perfect video
Those are some pretty lookin dudes
no
Yasss
This needs more views!
Robert Hecker is my science teacher!
nice! where at? what state?
No shit! Where at?🤔
Oregone where is this guy??😁

Too good for the Rock Hall

The woman losing her shit?
Anne Magnuson, actress and vocalist for the crazed psychedelic rock band, Bongwater!!

Always liked this song

I simply love the clothes. The red hat not so much. Love the dancing
Just saw Steven playing with the Melvin’s. Dude hasn’t changed a bit
They are fucking beautiful
XOXO!

Eno!!
I remember thinking “cool angry chicks” backing up Tracey Ullman.
Great record. Check it out kids
This is straight from Portlandia
PEARL JAMS DRUMMER!!!!!!!!!
Now WHERE did I put my Bongwater cd's........hmmmmm
The drummer at the berry start does a massive nod to Cheap Trick's Such A Good Girl

The HAIR.
The singer looks a bit like David Duchovny as Denise in Twin Peaks season 2
You have that backwards, since this video was from 1990.
Gone away ....
Metal hair......in a power pop band. Brilliant.
Wondering who's the woman is in the video? It's the great Annie Sprinkle!!!!!
No, sorry - it's actress and Bongwater vocalist, Anne Magnuson!
Jeff makes me want to get some cherry chapstick
Ann Magnuson is sooooooo hot
Hearth Shaped Box Nirvana
This video looks like the kids show My Big Comfy Couch
Melvins Bassist
eno!!
Juliette Lewis singing .....?
Jeff kind of looks like Crispin Glover with a wig on hahaha
Or Tracey Ullman.
My cat can eat a whole watermelon!
who is the actress???
pretty

I can’t tell if they are being ironically cheesy, or if this is for real 🤔
.
beginning sounds bit like "my sharona"
Well I guess Annie is gone!
they don't look like they're into the Partridge Family all at all
Foxygen took a lot of their stuff from Redd Kross......🤔
Juliette Lewis kicks arse
