Songs from my first band Kitsch. In honor of Joe the Pope

These Many Hours B W Sifting Through The Garbage Cans by Kitsch

A track From The kitsch Band recorded in the mid 1980's

Frequency 49 (new upload) By Eraserhead

An epic tune from the nintendo days that correctly prophecizes the rise of video warfare.

Video Video (By Kitsch)

A song about a trip through the neighborhood.

Acid Rain On My Windowpane (By Kitsch)

Original Version by Young Lust. A band Bob Porter formed in the late 1970's.

Compulsion (Young Lust Version)

This song is from the Welfare Dub release and is one of the most balls out tunes we played. Fast, raw and ripping, it gets straight to the point and shreds until the end.

The Welfare Dub

Night Silence (Studio Version)

This is from our last sessions at the basement studio in Hazelwood. This has Toby Houser on bass, and Jeff Flaherty on guitar. It is on the Something Invincible release. I always think that apart from the beautiful metaphors, there is also the hidden pain of Bob's ongoing fight with The cancer that came from his service in Vietnam. As I look back now, I wonder what we fought for, something I'm afraid I people 40 years from now will wonder about our actions today. Peace    
Released on the 7th anniversary of Robert Porter's Death

Watch That Pain

This is a digitally polished version of a song from an earlier release now available as part of the Superman and That girl EP on Amazon and iTunes. It is the hottest track from the 90's and I would put it up against classics like Ace of Spades, Sonic Reducer or Anything by the New York Dolls. I love all those songs, but I think this is just as good. So pop on some headphones, buckle up and prepare for the 100 mile an hour propulsion of Thrilling Cities.

Superman and That Girl - EP

Thrilling Cities

This is Bob Porter's signature version of this Otis Redding tune. Many have tried, but few have made it their own the way Bob did. Wheteher ending the set, or ending the evening's performance, this song made it into almost every show's set list. I post this for the anniversary of his birth, to honor his memory and all the birthdays that we shared.

Live from Somewhere

Dock of the Bay

This was one of the first songs completely written by the version of the band I was in. I don't remember where it was recorded, Definitely done in a real studio. There is no complete version available on any CD or record. Just this from a cassette.

We're Not Animals

This features recordings from bands I've played in over the years. New material is in the future. Groups include Thin White Line, Eraserhead and Kitsch.
