Fuckshitupism deluxe.
THE CHEIFS- s/t 7"EP (Playgems Records, USA, 1980)
All songs re-ripped and reposted (this time, ALL the songs – plus those from the mentioned “Who knows?” comp. LP).
A classic record everybody should know – and a classic comments section!
THE CHEIFS – a band by that name has got to be great, I thought – and right I was, buying that 7″ for an apple and an egg (as they say in Germany)! The A-side of this L.A. bands only vinyl (apart from the tracks on “Who cares?” and the demo on an obscure bootleg 7″) “Blues” is only very good, but the flip smokes. “Tower 18″ is red hot and so is “Knocked out”. It hardly gets any better than this! Fucking A maaaaaaaaaan!!!!
From what I seem to remember, “Tower 18″ was about a famous spot on a beach frequented by gays. Or am I just making this up now?
Blues.mp3
(At the beach at) Tower 18.mp3
Knocked out.mp3
If you liked this, go buy one of the CHEIFS reissues (see comments). That’s an order and it goes with every post here, of course.
PS: Please buy the CD with all the other CHEIFS music on Dr.Strange Records.
Added: The tracks from the essential “Who cares?” LP (1981):

well hardcore was originated in LA and it shows. If BAGS survive EP (78) is pure definition of LA punk rock for me, CHEIFS (and THE KLAN) is LA proto-HC then and showed directions for great bands that followed. Here is a short list of most important records, that every hardcore kid should know (in my opinion):
1. GERMS lexicon devil EP 1978
2. BAGS survive EP 1978
3. MIDDLE CLASS out of vogue EP 1978
4. BLACK FLAG yealous again 12″ 1980
5. T.S.O.L. s/t 12″ 1981
6. WASTED YOUTH reagan´s in LP 1981
7. SIMBOL SIX 12″ 1982
8. LOST CAUSE EP 1981 and 12″ 1982
and it´s worthless to mention bands like ADOLESCENTS, D.I, AGENT ORANGE, RED SCARE etc. etc…

Last I knew all the Chiefs stuff was still available on LP or CD. Flipside issued a neat CD with all their stuff that contained live video footage and pics if you played it on your computer. This was one of the best or that era–wish I owned it. I think they were on another comp, “Chunks”, or something like that, which I think was also reissued a few years ago.

The CD/Vinyl LP has been released more than once, the first time by Flipside as listed above. It had really great sound.
There is one more vinyl appearance “The Lonelys” on the “Chunks” comp.
The demos record is a boot taped off of ROTR with chatter and fadeouts and horrible sound (Hey that looked like a Bill Bartell boot). Never bother buying this demos boot, get the CD, all the songs are there in much better quality.
The Chiefs were a great live band as those videos show. I saw them a couple of times, the last time with a different singer was disappointing.
Someone’s list above mentions Symbol Six. Now everyone likes their record, but that wasn’t the case when it came out. Stupid M.R.R. called it heavy metal. I saw Symbol Six’s very first gig, Youth Brigade opened when they still had a two singer lineup. Symbol Six was good, YB was terrible.

Ah, I never heard that the guitarist George was gay. But I was always wondering why But it’s not like you wanted everyone to know back in the early 80′s punk scene, you stayed closeted like Darby Crash did. This Cheifs EP has been a favorite of mine for years. The tune “Blues” pretty much blows me away every time I listen to it, what a perfect song- Rabit’s drums on that song are amazingly good. Before the Cheifs he was in the Simpletones who had a few decent songs. Now which member(s) of the Cheifs were in that earlier Portland band the Rubbers? Because the Rubbers did “Riot Squad” first on the “10-29-79″ live comp LP and then the Cheifs did the same song a mere two years later on the “Who Cares” comp. I doubt it was a cover way back then. Probably the 2nd best Cheifs song is “Hollywest Crisis”, another jaw-dropper where they just bash away. But the sound of it on the reissue CD is 100 times better than that crappy Cheifs boot.

Also, I’m sure Doctor Strange, who has released all the band’s music on CD woudln’t appreciate the fact that you made something he also put money into reissuing available for people to download for free without bothering to ask first. I know I didn’t dump a bunch of my own hard earned money into putting this thing out just to have some dude with a website make the entire thing available for a free download, all while he is also at the same time asking for donations for people to pay him to host music he has no right to give away.

We almost took off to see Killing Joke at the Whisky instead but decided to stick around and snuck into good old Bard’s. Went back the following week for the FEAR / TSOL / China White / Cheifs / Crowd/ Overkill show…. they don’t make ‘em like they used to.
Also my friend got a copy of the Symbol Six demo cassette that night and as I recall it was REALLY good.

Oh, yes, MVX, and I’m sure the Chiefs are counting on revenue from your records to pay the bills (like they’d see a dime). I was the one who brought up the subject of these songs being available in other formats in the first place but it was meant to steer other people into hearing their other songs–not encouraging dickheads like you. Go bankrupt and die–the whole music “industry” is doomed (deserves death) and let blogs like this be the proof of it.

First of all, I don’t recall anyone by the name of “anonymous” being in the band.
Second of all, the difference between this site and mine (where I post a single track) is I get the band’s involvement and blessing for my “selections from the vault”. If you leechers spent more time reading and less time just trolling for free music you’d have noticed that.
Third of all, if it weren’t for people like myself who actually put time and money into releasing records in the first place, you all would have nothing to steal.
It amazes me the attitude you people take when you don’t live up to yr disclaimer of “if you want the files removed I will do so, blah blah”. Did you even read yr own “mission statement” on this site or did you simply download that from someone and reprint it here? I find it strange that when called on your own policy, you reply with hostility, like you are being wronged for being asked to not give away mp3s of an entire record you have no rights to or even permission to post.
And for the record, poll any band I’ve put out a record by and they’ll have nothing to say except how I honored whatever agreement I made exactly as promised and they were involved of every process of the release. Considering I’ve put out a few releases by well-known bands, I must be doing something right with the label for these people to want to work with me.
Also seeing as how I got involved in punk rock in 1981, I’m pretty sure that doesn’t make me a 7th generation punk and if I was “money grubbing” why would I be spending money to put out small runs of 7″s? It’s not like there is any profit in it.

You are marketing a next-to-useless product.

I am not the least bit jealous. I couldn’t care less about any other websites and how much traffic they get or their comments. And let’s be honest, it doesn’t take a lot of skill to post two generic sentences about a record and post the entire thing for free. There are a ton of sites just like this doing the exact same thing. Their popularity comes not from any kind of content (as it appears a lot of folks can barely read) but from the fact they can get free music. The one thing I will say about this site over say the KBD Records one is at least the few sentences written here are a bit more legible and usually more interesting than that site.
I’m all for exposing people to great old punk rock they may have missed and even letting them hear something they can’t go out and buy unless they have trust funds and troll ebay, but what I don’t agree with is posting records in their entirety that are easily available for sale in one format or another, especially when I was one of the folks responsible for investing my own money to make that happen. It is then when you go from being a good service to being a disservice.
And I may not have paid for the recordings, but records don’t get pressed and sleeves don’t get made, new masters, plates, etc for free. These things cost money. And if you think there is some big profit in a run of 500 records with two color sleeves and colored vinyl, please share the directions to this fantasy land you live in so I can move there too.

I guess it is only a problem when you have a financial interest in the music that is posted. Also, I agree with your point that there is no money to be made in doing a small pressing of say 100 records and selling them for $4.00 each. I’m sure you are selling these records at a loss, as I have been doing for years with my own little label. However, I believe that any promotion is good promotion and you would have been better served by posting a comment stating that you had the repress available at your site for $4 bucks or whatever.

It’s funny how kids on the internet make assumptions about peoples lives as they sit at their computers with their pants down hiding behind the name annonymous and somehow (and in poor english, not that mine is perfect) justify their theft as some sort of birthright and they are the ones who know how things should be.
I never claimed to be making my living off punk rock. I have a real job that feeds me and puts a roof over my head and allows me to take my girlfriend out to dinner. The money I put into the punk scene was done as a hobby supporting somethign that I beleive in and has been very important to me for 2/3 of my life, a lot longer than probably half the annonymous posters here have even been alive. I’m sorry if you have a problem with everything not being free, I’d like it to be free too but reality is a lot different than the fantasy world a bunch of you seem to live in.
And like someone above said, I never said to remove the entire thing, I just found it shitty to post the entire thing. Posting a song for people to sample is a good thing, it is actually promoting the record and the CD. Posting the entire 7″ is a detriment to both. Why would most people buy something they just downloaded for free?
Contrary to the above poster’s theory, I am not “stealing” music. I found this site in my referall stats because there was some White Pigs post referencing a feature I did on them. I do check out sites like this on occasion but rarely, if ever, download anything unless its something I have the record of and want to be saved the trouble of making my own mp3s of it. I think there was maybe one occasion where I downloaded one song to hear what a band sounded like that I had only known the name of. I have more than enough music to listen to that I don’t need to frequent sites like this for the songs but I do like to see what’s going on out there and hope to find something interesting to read in downtimes at work.
I wasn’t looking to make enemies, I was simply wanting the site to honor their mission statement and got attacked for it. Sadly the attitude I got here is one that seems to be adopted by a lot of similar sites. You tell someone to honor their word and take down some stuff and you are the facist for making the request because you somehow are “keeping the man down” or whatever bullshit feeling these people get when they are called on doing something they shouldn’t. Someday if you ever move out of yr parents house and invest money in something to one day find it being made available for free without permission, we’ll see how yr feelings change.
And it was nice to see someone chime in and start to understand my point of view.

Erich,
I just wanted to say thanks for another really good post. I’d never heard of the Cheifs before and it was pretty cool to hear them. When my next paycheck comes I’m going to order their CD.
I think that even though music can be acquired for free, there will ALWAYS be people willing to pay for it. It’s part of being a record collectors. They don’t collect MP3s, they collect 7″s, EPs, albums and will buy the stuff they like. Maybe I’m one of the few college students left (certainly seems that way at my university) who still buy records, who still haunt the stores and comb the racks, I don’t know. Friends ask me all the time why I still put up with the “barbaric” practice of paying for CDs, and my answer is always the same: because I like the music and want to own it. 5-15 dollars is a small price to pay for the enjoyment of music.
It’s a value judgment, I guess. My generation seems to want everything for free, with no effort involved in getting it. It’s a terrible attitude to have. Every day I see people tossing iPods around like frisbees, as if its some disposable commodity and not a 200+ dollar piece of stereo equipment. They didn’t buy it, their parents or their relatives did. Woo hoo.
The bottom line is that if there are still people out there, I think, who will pay for their tuneage, who aren’t satisfied with some MP3 copy of an album. They want the artwork, the black vinyl or shiny CD to hold and look at. And play.
Thanks for posting this. And thanks for those who reissued this album too.

Geeze, dude, there are tons of distros out there and I know there are enough collector geeks worldwide to take 500 copies away. I, too, like owning a hard copy of some recordings but I see reissues of this variety as a waste of plastic. The few adults who might still care already own the songs and most kids under 30 never heard of ‘em. And I see stores selling stuff like that for $5 or $6 USD a pop, not $4. I think there are only one or two plants left in the US that will do a 7″ so if anyone wants to get technical it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out the exact cost which, whatever it is, would be 1000 times more than it costs to stick the songs on the internet!

Erich the band owns their songs. Dr Strange and myself licensed the rights to release the recordings on our respective releases. As a licensee, we certainly have a right over such things as requesting websites not post this stuff for free without the permission of the licensee. Action can also be taken to protect said licenses from just such a thing as piracy. Here’s an example. Williams Electronics made pinball machines they own the copyright to. They licensed their copyrights out to certain individuals to make reproduction parts for these machines. Now if I decide I want to make artwork for their machines and sell them, or even give them away for free and I dont’ get permission from the company, or work out a deal with one of the licensees, they can not only stop me from doing this, they can sue me for damages, shut down my business, etc.
And to the moron’s response about posting the GI record. I do own the copyright to that one and should such an action take place, I would absolutely take legal action and the site would get shut down quicker than your ability to post adolescent responses. There isn’t an ISP anywhere these days that is gonna risk a lawsuit. The first sign of a complaint from a copyright holder saying a site on their hosting service is pirating their copyrighted works and they yank the sites faster than you probably yanked yr own pud after your post thinking you were so clever.
You can agrue yr opinions about how many records should be pressed, if shit should be free, etc until yr blue in the face but the bottom line is it is not YOUR decision about whether or not the releases (either in full or in part) can be posted for free, it is the decision of the copyright holder and/or their licensees.
I am through arguing this with you nameless morons. You can hate me all you want but the fact is that I am right and that really frosts your asses, which apparently results in you showing yr true age and maturity level in yr reponses. Have a nice day everyone and to Erich, good luck with the site, I just hope in the futre you’ll think twice before posting an entire release of something that is readily available.

The whole colored vinyl thing has always struck me as one of the most idiotic gimics ever. He probably has a closet full of X-Men comics, too. Upon perusing the Punk Vault it would appear he is from the Chicago area which says something to me, at least, being a city that seems to thrive on selling you half the quality at twice the price no matter what your racket (and has a suck-ass, trendy music scene to boot). I’ll see you around, pussy.

All this anonymous bitching about MXV annoys me.
We have:
1. A person who does a legitimate (re)release of a record with the band’s permission.
2. The greatest musicblog in the world which posts the record – without the band’s permission.
So, Erich has done the right thing to remove one of the songs as requested by MXV.
Period.

Fuck, I didn’t realize the other two bands on the Bard’s Apollo bill were the Detours and the Blades. I guess that the Detours lineup was post-Agnew, Royer.
I wished I would have payed more attention. Now that you remind me, yeah, I was pissed that it was a lineup of bands I had never heard of, instead of the show listed. It was a far drive for me (coming from Newbury Park, CA, hometown of Belinda-Dottie Danger, Lorna Doom, Donna Rhia [three of the Germs] & Heather Locklear)
I remember hanging toward the back of the hall complaining with some dude I just met about how bad this “Youth Brigade” act sucked.
Nice score on the Symbol Six demos. I think Rodney used to play some of that. Rodney made a big hit of Chief’s Shiteatin’ Blues as well. Funny how he could play music with swearing on the public radio without ever getting complaints. I used to take it for granted, when you’d hear Red Cross singing “We can’t rock worth shit!”, but nowadays, they wouldn’t allow this of course. The terrorist’s won, haha.
I didn’t know the Chiefs singer was still alive either, I thought he croaked.

Jerry Koskie is still alive, as are the other three members. When Dr. Strange did the CD re-release, he convinced the band to do a reunion show, but they argued too much during practice that it never came to be. (Source: drstrange.com, though I don’t know if it’s still on that site.)
Snickers, from Jerry’s and Rabit’s previous band, the Simpletones, did die, though. (Source: http://www.poshboy.com)
And to throw my two cents in, I’ve corresponded, via his blog only, with mxv, and he is a good guy. Everything he has said is legally correct, and I’m glad Erich complied. I enjoy both sites and would like to see them continue.
And, if you want the CD, try to find the original Flipside release from 1990. Although the Dr. Strange release says it has the videos on it, he was not able to get it to work, so they are not included.

This semen mutated within Ms. Piggy and the resulting birth was one Erich Keller.

Wow, legal action for posting mp3s of government issue? Did that come out on sony? Seriously buddy, if you have nothing better to do than attack this mp3 blog, then maybe you’ve devoted yourself to the wrong thing for the past 25+ years. People who want to buy the record, will buy the record. If they don’t, they’re going to download it one way or another. You giving Erich a hard time over this is a serious joke since this is one of the best Mp3 blogs on the internet and is a great place to find all this rare music in it’s entirity. If you really wanted to move 500 copies of the chiefs record, you could. There’s enough KBD nerds out there who’d snag the reissue for 4 bones in a heartbeat, but i’m sure you’re doing more to protect your precious investment than trying to sell them or spread the word around about it. I guess when it all comes down to it, i was thinking about buying the 7″ from you a couple weeks back along with a White Pigs ep but since i’ve seen what a cocksucker you’re being to a dude who just wants to spread tunes around for enjoyment, i’ll pass. Seriously, fuck off and take your shitty JFA reissues with you. If you don’t get it now, you’re not going to. Erich, keep up the great work.

Dave Brown – Are you the same Dave Brown who frequents the daghouse?
I’m sorry you don’t agree with my dislike of someone giving away something I put money into re-releasing without permission. I guess I’m a dick for not wanting to have the ENTIRE record posted for a free download. And my response to the asshat suggesting they post my GI record on here was entirely justified. Try posting entire Dischord records on here and see how they like it and if they don’t have a similar response. Just because they weren’t released on Sony, doesn’t mean they are up for grabs for anyone who decides they should be made free to the public.
“i was thinking about buying the 7″ from you a couple weeks back along with a White Pigs ep but since i’ve seen what a cocksucker you’re being to a dude who just wants to spread tunes around for enjoyment, i’ll pass” – shouldn’t that really state you were thinking about ordering that stuff but you figured there was no need since you downloaded the entire thing for free off some website? So you mean to say that since you don’t agree with my opinion on this topic then you are entitled to just download the record for free instead?
And I wasn’t slamming this precious resource of free music per se. I simply was stating it was shitty that they were offereing the entire record for free of something that is readily available for purchase from two different labels, one of them mine. And instead of having the “mission statement” honored, the response was hostility and personal attacks on my character. To Erich’s credit at least he took higher ground than many of the people posting comments here and removed one song, though I’d have preferred he only posted one track seeing as how there is only 3 on the record.
It’s not some right you have to be able to download entire records for free that someone owns or paid to release. Like I said before its one thing to post something you can’t get anywhere without buying old expensive records on ebay, but its another thing to do it when the music is available for purchase legally and people have invested money into reissuing it. The former is doing a service to music fans, the latter is stealing. Yr hostility and misguided sense of entitlement is makes about as much sense as if I went into a best buy and started pocketing DVDs and then get pissed off at the cops for arresting me for it.
And exactly what part of all this am i “not getting”?

If you scroll up about 100 posts you’ll see where I clearly stated the band retain their copyrights and that myself and doctor strange were given license to release those recordings but nice try in yr attempt to put words in my mouth. I didn’t speak on their behalf nor did I claim to. I spoke on behalf of being one of the two labels who put money into legally reissuing their songs and found it shitty my entire release was put on this site for free when one track would have done more of an actual service of being a tool of promotion and not of detriment. I don’t understand why that is so hard for some of you to comprehend other than the fact that many people think they are entilted to get something for absolutely nothing.
By the logic of one of the above comments, I guess there should be NO record labels. I mean why should a label like Dischord, Touch and Go, Frontier or SST continue to operate selling the old punk records and giving the bands money when these songs need to be free on the internet? No one should get paid for their work ever because its the punk rock way! Musicians owe the rest of us free music because we are entitled to it. OK, maybe in the case of SST the bands aren’t seeing a dime of the money, I mean there must be a reason so many bands on that label are suing or have sued to reclaim their back catalog, but the rest of my examples are legit. That logic is ridiculous, just because you think shit should be up for grabs doesn’t mean that others woudln’t like to have an actual record or a CD made of their old music and maybe even see a couple bucks in the process to buy themselves a meal or a pair of pants for their hard work. Or maybe the guy who spent his hard earned money that he made at his “real job” releasing a record that meant a lot to him would like to see his investment returned so he doesnt’ lose money on it. I don’t do a label for the money obviously or I’d be putting out shitty emo records like Victory, I do it for the love of the music but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to recoup my investment (my only “goal” in my label is breaking even). Who wants to lose money even when its on something you love? I don’t make a lot to begin with so its not like I have some trust fund I’m using and can afford to give the records away fro free. You can aruge about how it “helps promote” until you breathe yr last breath but the reality is most people fail to see the need to purchase something they already got for free just in an effort to support the label or the band that made the thing possible. I made 500 of those records, if 1000 people downloaded the entire thing and loved it, how many of those 1000 people do you think will realisticly buy the record as an effort to support a label or a band when they already have all the songs and heard the whole record. I can assure you it isn’t even 10 percent, which would equate to 100 records being sold and 900 people having the entire thing on their computer. Now if they heard one song and liked it, I’d bet that number of people who would buy the record because they want to hear more would increase dramaticaly.
In the case of an old record that you can’t get on any format anywhere (for kicks lets just say the Sand in the Face album), then posting an entire record is actually a nice thing and seems more acceptable because you are making the music available to people who can’t legally obtain it no matter how much they want to unless they find a used vinyl somewhere. No one currently has anything invested in releasing it since a release hasn’t existed in 20 some years. Yr not taking anything away from anyone by posting it and in fact you could drum up interest in the band who may want to pursue reissuing the material when they may not have before because they see there is an interest there.
In the end the people who think all things should be free will never understand the other side unless they are in a band or a label and find themselves in a similar situation and even then you can only speak on the matter on how you personaly feel about it. You can’t make such blanket statements like “music should have no value and there should be no reissues because we have a site to download stuff for free” because not everyone is going to adopt that same stance. I love records and I love music and I’d love it if they were free and I could save the money I spent on them to do other things with but in the real world, sadly things are not free no matter how much we want them to be or think they should be.

i know i’m a little late but first of all i’m in a band jackass. i will put all my shit up for free until i don’t want to do it anymore and even if i found out someone was sharing my complete recordings know what i’d say? hey thanks for sharing. oh and guys don’t forget the record is in print and you can get it at bla bla bla. no bullshit remove mp3s stuff just hey buy a coppy. and wile we’re on the subject i downloaded the first germs single a while ago. i went to amoeba and was looking through the 7inches and i found the first grms single. okay so i have it already. so what? now i have a physical coppy of forming. i even ripped it cause i needed to see if my turntable works. i like getting physical coppys of things. so when my computer breaks i can still listen to my favorite records. so no mxv you are dead wrong on this one. back on topic. i love this record. one of these bands that i’d heard the name but probably wouldn’t have checked out because well i just didn’t care. but now that i have the ep i will buy that cd. same goes for kleenex/liliput. erich pretty much posted everything by kleenex and if i were to dig i could probably find the whole thing for free. even then i would buy the cd which i did. a lot of bands are like that. what else is on that comp?
