Kirt Cig-O-Via [Wallace Hammond] (guitar, vocals), Dr. No Moniker [Craig Squires] (drums, saxophone, vocals), Pasquali Neutron [Terry Carter] (drums, vocals), Goohaw Groon [George Smith] (bass, vocals), Dead Beat [Justin Hall] (drums), Pig Filthy (vocals, congas), Snotty Slyme (vocals, cowbell, tambourine), Magilla Buzz Saw (guitar), Stig Stilletto (guitar, vocals), Roscoe Santiago [Tony Richards] (drums, harmonica, vocals).
These were the goons who started as Tooloose and Da Slyme, at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada in 1977. They played around the city of St. John's until about 1984, when work and travel commitments spread them across North America.
In 1979, they released their first (only?) release. The first double-album by a band from Newfoundland...the first double album by a Canadian punk rock band...and likely the first double album by ANY punk rock band....Da Slyme took the DIY ethos to the extreme: they didn't press their own album covers...they simply took other albums and spray painted over them (an example of which you'll find above). Various songs are recorded live, others were done in the studio.
In 1999, they reunited and released The 20 Year Scam.

yess. i've been wanting this for a long while now! thanks!
Dude, this is awesome, I have Da Slyme on my Ipod, thanks to you. Never again will I wonder what Tanya is doing with that seal.
You've got to be fucking kidding me!
I found your site looking for The Ugly, and I found the Fucking Slyme! I love You!
I will KILL for a vinyl copy of this sickfukk masturpiece!!!!!!!!!! this makes bands like the spits seem positively intellectual.
I recently located my copy of the 1979 album among a bunch of other albums in my parents' attic. The original cover was XTC- Drums and Wires. The lyrics insert is in great shape and the lp's are not too bad. One is a little warped but I was able to get both transferred to cd's.
I can make a copy of the cd's and the lyric sheets for a nominal fee. david_hancock@nlh.nl.ca
Hey, wondering if anyone who managed to get these songs before they were removed still has them?
If so I'd appreciate an e-mail and possibly working out a way to get some copies.. e-mail cassandra.s.arnold at gmail.com, thanks!
Hi Cassandra,
Give me a few minutes.
I'll see if I can upload them again. :o)
Re-Upped!
This is awesome, my uncle was actually a member of Da Slyme! My dad and his friends were at the infamous first show, and he has a couple of copies of the original album!
