A couple of things about SHUT THE FUCK UP!.....
*I'm pretty sure I only saw them once, and it was in Richmond, Virginia at a poorly attended but exceptionally fun warehouse show on the ARTIMUS PYLE tour in 2002, but that might have been BUCK BUCK. Actually, I think it was BUCK BUCK (also from Arkansas, and also criminally under appreciated), and maybe I never saw SHUT THE FUCK UP! play live....which is a shame.
*Loading out from a show at the Covered Wagon in SF, this wasted dude came up to me and told me (definitely didn't ask me) that I should drive his band on tour because they were punk as fukk and they were going to put out a record and they had a contact in New Orleans and all they needed to do was book a few shows there and a few shows back and that was it and it was going to be really good and I should drive them. I told him I wasn't interested (because honestly the dude was a complete punisher and his delusions of grandeur sounded like a fucking nightmare), but obliged him as he slurred about how great his band was. Eventually I asked what his band was called (probably so I could avoid them) and he said "SHIT THE FUCK UP" and without even taking a breath I was like "dude - change your fucking name, there's a band from Arkansas called SHUT THE FUCK UP! and I fukkn guarantee they are better than your band, so just save yourself the trouble and confusion and change your name before you put out that record. Seriously." And of course they didn't change their name, but I always avoided San Francisco's STFU based solely on that exchange - though I helped them get a show in Milwaukee when I lived there, and I would later come to know that Jeff Leppard was legit one of the best and most genuine dudes ever.
*I think there is only this demo and one EP for you to dig into, but one listen to the quirky driving basement pv/noise/crust that is SHUT THE FUCK UP! and I think you will feel the same way I do, and you will be happy to have whatever you have. Because this shit is great.
*Was Dave Dean in this band? Or am I confusing them with BUCK BUCK (again). Man...that Dave Dean dude is nice as shit, and has a wonderful way of making you feel like you totally matter, in a way that is difficult to describe.
