Live Bait - Musk Melon
previously unreleased - 1989

With songs about why God hates "Trailer Parks", "Flounder Giggin" and "Exterminators to the Stars"; Winston-Salem's Live Bait was one of the oddest bands around. Oh and let's not forget their manequin "Electra" (see photo). Their shows always included copious amounts of mayonaise, pimento loaf sandwiches and rubber worms. Most folks will remember Live Bait from their opening slot at the final Let's Active show at Baity's that nearly caused a riot. Call it Southern Living vs. Poetic Justice.

Band Members:
Ken Prichard - Voice
Henry Heidtmann - Bass
John French - Guitars
Jay Johnson - Drums
Sam Moss - 100 Lead Guitars
