Bayou Pigs - "Rehab Messiah" LP

Bayou Pigs were a Houston psychedelic rock/grunge/punk band who were a staple of the Houston scene in the late 80's and early 90's.  These guys were the opening band on many, many shows that I attended at the Axiom in the early 90's - I saw them countless times.  This LP and the track on the "Houston Loud" compilation (both released on the label run by Pain Teens members, Anomie Records) would be the only output released by the band (to my knowledge).  Members from the Bayou Pigs can also be heard doing their thing in/on many other iconic records of the time, including releases by Noodle, Ed Hall, The Paranoids, Pong, Sixteen Deluxe, Academy Black, Toxic Karma, and many others.  

My copy of this record, likely from playing it so often when I was younger, skips a few times throughout the songs on the b-side.  This can be heard when listening to the mp3's included below (notably on tracks 6 and 8).

v/a: "Houston Loud" compilation LP

This comp was a "who's who" of the late 80's Houston weirdo punk music scene, as well as a look into the future of Houston music to come. Released on the Pain Teens own Anomie Records, the LP not only (of course) has tracks by the Pain Teens, but also two other bands featuring various Pain Teens members (Non Dairy Creamers, Ms Carriage And The Casual Tease). In addition, you have the vinyl debut by the mighty Sugar Shack as well as tracks by Grindin' Teeth (featuring future members of Rusted Shut), Bayou Pigs (future members of Academy Black, Noodle, and The Paranoids), Dresden 45 (featuring renown poster artist Uncle Charlie), Blind Ignorents (of which one member would later form Spunk), and da Plug Uglies.

I went to the record release show for this comp at the Axiom and remember it quite fondly.
