Hog Molly
Kung-Fu Cocktail Grip (Koolarrow)
by Paul Lee
Remember the mighty Seattle group Tad? They were fronted by a large, bellowing guitarist named Tad Doyle and were contemporaries of such grunge luminaries as Nirvana and Soundgarden but sounded more like Melvins without the experimentation. Hog Molly (which is Angler slang for a specific fish found along North American coasts) is the reincarnation of Tad with the same dirty, rock’n’roll thunder, and an ex-member of underrated ‘Frisco thrashers Panic (Marty Chandler) and some bad-ass Afro wigs.
