Locked In the Dressing Room
“The “LOCKED IN THE DRESSING ROOM” benefit compilations are entirely produced by musicians for selected venues that were forced to shut down during the pandemic. These venues regularly open their stages to various Punk and unsigned independent bands. The project is entirely DIY, without any sponsors or revenue from advertising. All tracks have been generously donated by the artists. Presales of the limited edition pressings only cover our manufacturing and factory shipping costs. All remaining records are donated to the venues to help them raise some funds and show our appreciation for their efforts in keeping the scene alive. This release consists of 2 separate LPs with a total of 42 bands from 8 countries. The LPs are on translucent vinyl.
Locked In the Dressing Room (Rotator Vinyl, 2022)et (LITD007) and translucent lime (LITD008) vinyl. Supported venues are the Ivy Room and Bottom of the Hill in the San Francisco Bay Area.

HugeCorp was (is?) a payroll company where Ron and Jerry from the Office Party worked in the mailroom. They had big plans for The Office Party and somehow convinced one of their managers to fund a 7”. It was supposed to be part of some sort of trilogy called the Mexico Trilogy. “Mexican Kickflip” seems to be the only tune they ever finished so they asked the frenzy of tongs and a garage act called Los Muchados for tunes. The tongs supplied one- Nursing Home”.

Back in the days of being a four piece! Oly had just quit his band so the tongs asked him to join. Jenkins moved from bass and… singing to guitar and… singing. NOTLD also serves as a harbinger of sorts, as it not only features a cover of The F.I.D.s punk slot car racing classic “Rock & Roll Slot CAR PARTY”, but the first known utterance of “Hail Nason!”. The tongs were trying to lure Nason away from his old band under the mistaken impression that he was a really good guitar player. Turns out, he’s just an okay guitar player, but he is a complete superstar!

Vague Records was founded by RI punk rock legend Brian Rotgut Luiz and his band Vague Perception. Brian was one of the tongs’s biggest fans and even considered joining for a bit. Jenkins actually played on-and-off guitar in Vague Perception for about a year during a lull in tongs activity - when Nason left to pursue a solo career. The first time.

Only 75 of these were ever pressed as a giveaway to the first 75 folks to sign up for the tongs troopers. There are probably a few kicking around somewhere and getting moldy in one of our basements. The first 5 were actually printed blue accidentally and are super rare! It also features a crazy rare vocal from tongs guitar player, justin tongs!
