Matador Alumni Corner : The Wild World Of Kustomized

February 17th, 2009 at 3:50 pm by Gerard



Not to be outdone by Merge's recent Volcano Suns reissues, former Kustomized bassist Bob Moses has done an impressive job tying his old band's history together with a new, posthumous site.  Perhaps the lesser known of Peter Prescott's post-Mission Of Burma projects, Kustomized was once described by Rolling Stone's Matt Diehl as "maintaining an almost savage drive...unafraid to wander into the bizarre areas outside rock convention."   Though the same could be said of Bob Gamere jogging thru the Fenway, Mr. Diehl hit the nail on the head.  Kustomized were awesome and if you didn't fully absorb their Matador titles at the time, you are a bad, bad person.
