Snakefinger's Vestal Virgins Night Of Desirable Objects 1987 Residents NM

Description: Snakefinger's Vestal Virgins Night Of Desirable Objects 1987 Residents NM Archival Sleeve Saw Snakefinger & the Vestal Virgins on the tour for this album opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Spring 1986. One of the tightest live bands I've ever seen still to this day. Fun note: Snakefinger's first band in the 70s were named Chili Willie & the Red Hot Peppers. I remember talking to the roadie for RHCP and him telling me that Snakefinger was the best band that had ever opened for them. Of course, RHCP would go on to headline Lollapalooza among other things, but in 1986 it was quite a compliment Philip Charles Lithman (17 June 1949 – 1 July 1987), who performed under the stage name Snakefinger, was an English musician, singer and songwriter. A multi-instrumentalist, he was best known for his guitar and violin work and his collaborations with The Residents.Lithman moved to San Francisco, reconnected with The Residents, and performed and recorded with them. Lithman's solo records, recorded under the name Snakefinger, were released by their record label Ralph Records.His first album on Ralph was Chewing Hides the Sound in 1979, featuring original material co-written with The Residents as well as esoteric covers like Kraftwerk's "The Model". The songs showcased Lithman's distinctive slide guitar playing and often surreal imagery. This album was followed by Greener Postures in 1980, which included his first solo compositions as Snakefinger.While on tour in Australia in 1980, Lithman had a heart attack that left him hospitalised for six months.In 1982, Lithman formed his backing band The Vestal Virgins with former Captain Beefheart sideman Eric Drew Feldman. Snakefinger and The Vestal Virgins released Manual of Errors on Ralph in 1982. This was followed by the blues cover album Snakefinger's History of the Blues: Live in Europe in 1984. Lithman released his fourth and final and best album, Night of Desirable Objects in 1986, which consisted of largely original material.Lithman performed with The Residents on their 13th Anniversary Tour in 1986.
