Warlock Pinchers Tribute:
Imposters

The Warlock Pinchers is arguably the best, most innovative band ever to come out of Denver and is one of Mr. Pacman's favorite bands of all time. In late 2002, former Pincher KC K-SUM petitioned the public for covers of its favorite Pinchers songs, for which Mr. Pacman submitted the slightly gay version of "Electric Hoedown."

With all the hype and nostalgia surrounding this release, one detail may have been overlooked: The CD stands alone as a kickass album. Disaffected Colorado youth will undoubtedly still be buying hooded Warlock Pinchers sweatshirts well into the 22nd century, and the band itself has already cemented its position as a true Denver legend. These cover versions of Pinchers' classics -- performed by everyone from the Melvins to Nerdtallica and Scott Baio Army -- operate on two levels, as cultlike worship and schizoid deconstruction. Which is kind of what the Pinchers were all about in the first place.
