Supa Chief – Red Brained Woman - Animal Woman US 1969 Garage Psych proto-Punk rock
Today the term Heavy psychedelic is used and ambused by many for many rare albums and singles that should be rather called ”Heavy rock” or just plain old ”hard rock”. This band is a rare exception though, specially flipside cut Red Brained Woman. This single has grabbed the stoner rock crowds attention in a major way and rightly so because this single delivers the goods to speak. It’s heavy, it’s raw, it’s Loud and it’s just damn good.
Supachief was an Orange County CA band with Bob De Malignon on Vocals, Dan Shattuck on guitar and his brother James Shattuck on drums along with Mike Carousal on guitar and Dennis Koker on bass.
The band was sponsored by Fender which enabled them to use and abuse Fender amps. As an example they experimented by taking out tubes from the amplifiers to get more distortion...
Musically they were a rough and tough combination of Cream, Hendrix and Blue Cheer with a ferociously loud musical delivery. They cut this heavy single in 1969. One can can only hope a live tape surfaces so that they get a whole album released.

The term Heavy Bonehead was coined for this one! It’s loud, sleazy and dumb, but oh so good. Supa Chief was an Orange County band with Bob DeMalignon on Vocals, the Shattuck brothers (Dan and James) on guitar and drums respectively) along with Mike Carousal (guitar) and Dennis Koker on bass. The lead guitar is masterful and the thudding drums are further nailed to the beat by a gleaming cowbell. The B side Animal Woman sounds exactly as you expect it to –Neanderthal and sublime. Coincidence... or could The Muffs’ Kim Shattuck be a younger sister to the Shattuck Bros?
