The Slickee Boys came out of the Washington, D.C. area with a sound that sat right where punk, psychedelia and garage rock meet, and a name with a story behind it: GI slang for the rockabilly-styled street hustlers in Korea who ran black-market goods to American troops.
Their best-remembered lineup had Mark Noone singing, Kim Kane on guitar and Dan Palenski on drums, with John Chumbris on bass at one point too, and they played like a band raised on vintage garage nuggets that then learned to spit. "This Party Sucks", from 1989's Live at Last, is them in a nutshell: loud, snotty, fast and funny, the sound of a band having more fun than the crowd at a bad party.
