about

Isaac Brutal and The Barbershop Quartet

This project started earlier this year essentially when me and Barry started jamming in the back room of his shop. When Graham decided he wanted to learn drums we decided to try and get a gig ready band together - which also meant I kinda needed to try and learn some lead guitar. Fortunately Barry was relatively adept and didn’t really need to learn anything. The project ultimately came to an end when Barry was subsumed into The Trailer Trash Express as a full time band member.

In the time we were active we recorded 5 songs - originally intended for my Dead Folks Songs album (a bunch of cover versions of artists I like - the qualifying proviso being they have to have shuffled off this mortal coil - or at least one band member at any rate). These songs were The Cramps Goo Goo Muck, Joy Division’s Atmosphere, Psychic TV’s Godstar, Motörhead’s Ace of Spades and Alan Vega’s Viet Vet which have subsequently been sitting gathering dust on the PC.

And there it may have ended if I hadn’t watched Wednesday on Netflix and in particular the scene where the title character dances to the Cramps Goo Goo Muck. So not one to miss a trick I asked Graham to remix our version and to Goth it up a bit which he did with some aplomb, and release it as an impromptu Christmas single just because we can. We’ve backed it with Atmosphere and Godstar.

Ace of Spades didn’t really fit the vibe and frankly Graham refused to go near Viet Vet 😂

Isaac Brutal and the Barber Shop Quartet was obviously a joke band name. The joke of course being there is only three of us. There really is a barber in our midst though.
