Rain - La Vache Qui Rit


After a long delay in posts (school and work are taking their toll), I figured I'd post a real (and mostly unheard of) treat. Everyone has a Dischord record they love. It is one of those labels that has released an unbelievable amount of brilliant records. One record that most people wouldn't say is their favorite Dischord record is La Vache Qui Rit. Released during one of my favorite eras of music, the Revolution Summer era in DC, La Vache Qui Rit is one of my personal favorites of the Dischord catalog. With Bert Queiroz (Untouchables, Youth Brigade, Double-O) on bass, and Scott McCloud (Lunchmeat, Soulside) adding some guitar, this band was destined to be of the highest quality. But, sadly, after only a year or two together, a handful of shows, and a couple of recording sessions, Rain disbanded. "Worlds At War" would be featured on Dischord's "State of the Union" compilation and La Vache Qui Rit would be released posthumously as a 12" on Peterbilt. While listening to this record, I can really hear how much bands in the 90's (Cap'n'Jazz, Jawbreaker, etc.) would be influenced by these Revolution Summer bands. Enjoy this gem.
