A trio from Gulcher Records

Like a drunken bat out of Bloomington Indiana, Gulcher Records was hanging ten at the leading edge of the cresting do it yourself wave, releasing the Gizmo’s rookie EP (GULCH 001) in 1976. Along with Terry Ork’s release of Television’s “Littler Johnny Jewel” (Ork 81975) from ’75 and Patti Smith’s Robert Maplethorpe financed “Piss Factory” (Mer 601) in 1974, Glucher helped usher in punk’s do it yourself era. Greg Shaw of Bomp Records issued the Flamin’ Groovies “You Tore Me Dawn” somewhere in this same time frame and let’s not forget Ralph Records’ “Meet the Residents” from ‘74. All contributed to the grassroots DIY ethos that is still going strong today with self released, home burned CD-Rs. Another Gulcher related band from the early bubblings of punk DIY was MX-80 Sound. Their debut waxing “Big Hits” saw the sun break the dawn in 1976.
