Shimmy Disc

Shimmy Disc is a New York City neo-psychedelic label founded in 1987 by Kramer. After years of hiatus, the label was reborn as Second Shimmy. Known for its unique and experimental sound, Shimmy Disc has been a pioneer in the music industry, showcasing talented artists and performers who push boundaries and defy genres.

With an impressive roster of *artists*, Shimmy Disc has consistently delivered groundbreaking music that challenges conventional norms. From alternative rock to avant-garde pop, the label's diverse range of releases have captivated audiences worldwide.

As a leading force in the underground music scene, Shimmy Disc continues to be at the forefront of innovation and creativity. With their commitment to supporting emerging talent and nurturing artistic freedom, they have established themselves as a trusted platform for musicians looking to make their mark on the industry.

No, it doesn't sound like the Butthole Surfers. It was never going to sound like Butthole Surfers. Get over it !!! 

It's time to revisit Paul Leary's 1992 debut solo LP - the avalanche of sound he titled The History Of Dogs, Revisited here with two additional tracks that did not appear on the original LP, including one that will soon appear as the first video from the LP, "Speedo Man".

You won't believe your eyes. Believe me. This 1992 LP was way ahead of its time.

Originally released on Rough Trade Records during the glory days of Butthole Surfers' crash course across the stages of every music festival criss-crossing the globe, this is zany, complex, unhinged, and sometimes just gloriously weird music, but it also features some of the most catchy indie pop music anthems you'll ever hear, and certainly far catchier than anything you'd ever hear from the Butthole Surfers catalog of psychedelic hysteria. 

Kramer, who played bass guitar in the band in 1985, says, "It was the year of the dog, and i was the bassist in the greatest band in the world. Life was good." Last year, Shimmy-Disc released Paul's second solo LP, Born Stupid to rave reviews. It was his first solo LP in nearly 30 years.

Now it's 2022 and Shimmy-Disc is reissuing Paul's first solo LP, remastered for vinyl, with a vengeance. Like Kramer said... Life is Good.
