Asylum Street Spankers - Spanker Madness (2000)

The magnificently indefinable Asylum Street Spankers stand as one of America's most distinctive groups. Defiantly acoustic, fiercely independent and absurdly good, one reviewer aptly described them as "a roots-rock riddle, nestled in a satirical Vaudeville enigma, packaged in an old-timey radio-show puzzle and slathered with hippie-fried mystery sauce."

Inspired by a trip to Amsterdam, this was recorded in 1999 in two sessions with entirely different line-ups. Includes contributions from Christina, Wammo, Stanley, Guy, Korey, Salty, Pops and John. Featuring several all-time Spankers' classics, it was released in March 2000.
