This is a re-release of a conversation between the members of Bicycle Face and Tamara Federici.

Join Mitchell McGirt, Brian Huskey, Chris Longworth, and host Tamara Federici as they take a look back at Bicycle Face.

Bicycle Face was a North Carolina band hailing from Greensboro and a staple of the fertile music scene from 1988-1994, performing w Polvo, Archers of Loaf, Zen Frisbee, Geezer Lake and countless other bands. Mitchell McGirt (guitar, vocals), Brian Huskey (bass, vocals) and Chris Longworth (drums) had a unique sound for the scene with nods to Camper Van Beethoven, Meat Puppets, Buck Owens and classic garage rock. An initial four song 7 inch record and their full length album, “Trust and Obey” were released on the now defunct Moist Records and were followed up by the “Christafari” 7 inch on Squealer Records and “The Red Hat Man” on Greensboro’s D-Tox Records. Their favorite audience review was “These guys suck, but they are trip between songs."

Hunch, conjecture, instinct…a blind allegiance to anything can get you killed, and always remember…sing as though no one can hear you; live as though heaven is here on Earth. Here I want to say something deep and meaningless, like “To thine own self be true,” but in truth, the first thing we have to do is KILL ALL THE LAWYERS.

-From Steven Tyler’s memoir “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?”
