electro-LUXE - Lined With Fur - 1994from Madame Records 45
Another preview of things to come. Charlotte combo electro-LUXE would eventually evolve into Come on Thunderchild, who made a much bigger splash.
This may have been electro-LUXE's only release, but hard to say. I just remember an enjoyable gig where I picked up the 45 -- there's little trace left of them on the Web and the cover doesn't even say who played what, so what follows is my guess
Come on Thunderchild included three of the four electro-LUXE members, omitting Michael Glaser. John Morris current band is TyreFyre. Rainy Day Lewis leads Les Dirt Clods. Ben Towle still gigs around a bit, but is mostly cartooning. Coming up empty on Michael Glaser.
Band members:
John Morris - vocals
Randolph "Rainy Day" Lewis - guitar
Michael Glaser - drums
Ben Towle - bass

Damnnnnn - I haven't heard this recording in a long time. I actually didn't play bass on this record--I'm guessing that Frank Guzek was on the thunderbroom here. FYI: John Morris, in addition to being in Tyre Fyre, is also currently in Charlotte's Alternative Champs.

You're credited though as playing on it (though not by instrument), with no mention of Guzek....
Here's the skinny on this recording...
Randolph Lewis sang lead on the Lined w/ Fur track,
John Morris on the flip, Superstar. Both shared guitar duties. Frank Guzek played bass, and Michael Glaser drums. The track was recorded with Steve Haigler (of much Alt Rock fame, including several of the Pixies records) at Reflection Studios in Charlotte.
Michael Glaser is a performing drummer in Birmingham, Ala., and Frank Guzek makes Charlotte his home. Your right about John and Randolph, though John is also in Snagglepuss with Hope and Aaron of Fetchin' Bones fame.
correction... I sang on this track, which i'm realizing just now, as i listen to the mp3... my mind is going fast...
I went to college with these guys. John was my next door neighbor on Fourth Belk and I heard some of your songs in their larval stages.
I enjoyed listening to Electroluxe in Charlotte after graduation. Thanks for this post.
By the way, I could swear that the "New Balance Store" song contains a riff from one of your songs. Something about a planet. Am I wrong?
