VOM – „In Love with Your Mom“ Triple X Records / White Noise Records

Artist city, country: Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

Artist Biography: VOM was conceived in 1976 as a self-described beat combo featuring the renowned writer and critic Richard Meltzer on vocals, with Gregg Turner on second vocals and „Metal“ Mike Saunders (under the pseudonym „Ted Klusewski“) on drums. The band also featured Dave Guzman on „tuneless rhythm guitar“, Lisa Brenneis („Gurl“) on bass guitar, and Phil Koehn on lead guitar. The name VOM was an abbreviation for „vomit“, as their early live act was said by Meltzer and Turner to have included throwing various viscera, cow parts and food substances at the audience to provoke a reaction.

Besides „I’m in Love With Your Mom“ and „Too Animalistic“ (both later incorporated into the Angry Samoans catalog), VOM were notorious for a song called „Electrocute Your Cock“, which began with Saunders’ Ramones-like tom tom beat and Meltzer’s cries of „Electrocute your cock, electrocute your cock / Looking for a handjob? Stick it in a clock!“. Despite its profane audacity, it had enough pop catchiness and wit to become a minor hit for the band. Other VOM material included „Broads Are Equal“ and „I Am (The Son of Sam)“.

The band released the posthumous Live at Surf City EP in 1978 on White Noise Records; „I’m in Love With Your Mom“ also appeared on the punk and new wave compilation Saturday Night Pogo, one of the earliest releases by Rhino Records.

Videos were produced for three of the EP’s tracks, „I’m in Love With Your Mom“, „Too Animalistic“ and „Electrocute Your Cock“, directed by Richard Casey (who went on to create videos for Blue Öyster Cult, Buck Dharma and Romeo Void). „I’m in Love With Your Mom“ was shot as the band performed on the beach, with Meltzer wearing briefs on his head. The more humorous and visually interesting „Electrocute Your Cock“ video included footage of Meltzer sprawling backwards in a chair while screaming the lyrics and sitting in a bathtub being electrocuted. Both videos (and interviews with Meltzer, Saunders and Turner) were later included in the Angry Samoans True Documentary 1995 home video.

According to Turner, Meltzer „threw in the VOM towel“ in 1977, which paved the way for Turner and Saunders to form Angry Samoans in August 1978.

In 2002, Meltzer released all five of the EP’s tracks, plus the previously unissued „I Live With the Roaches“, on the compilation The Completed Soundtrack for the Tropic of Nipples.

Director Name: Richard Casey

About the Video: Shot in August, 1978.
