Album 365: Day 172 - Infectious Grooves - The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move...It's the Infectious Grooves

Infectious Grooves
The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move...It's the Infectious Grooves
1991














Favorite tracks: Punk It Up, Infectious Grooves, Back To the People
Sleeper tracks: I'm Gonna Be My King, Do the Sinister

I was introduced to this band by my friend Luke.  I wasn't a Suicidal Tendencies (this band was an offshoot of them) fan growing up but when I moved across the alley from Luke, he turned me on to several bands (Phish, Queensryche) that have become some of my favorites.  Infectious Grooves was one of these bands.  The music was funky as hell and the Trujillo's bass playing was unreal.  The mix of heavy guitars and awesome drums was very attractive.

This is a great party record.  I never got into Suicidal Tendencies (even after listening to Infectious Grooves).  Mike Muir is a frontman I can only take in small doses...like the Infectious Grooves catalog.  More than that is annoying as hell.
