"Formed in 1982, Stukas Over Bedrock was one of the pioneering bands in the Los Angeles underground music scene. They made their first musical mark with the 'Life Like Yogi' ep, which received airplay on the "Rodney on the ROQ" show on the influential Los Angeles radio station KROQ. The song quickly rocketed to Number 5 on the Rodney Bingenheimer (KROQ)/Flipside radio chart. The ep is now unavailable, as a disgruntled former guitarist reused the masters after leaving the band.

Eschewing the traditional club circuit, the Stukas staged their own shows with local legends Uh and Hated Principles. The Stukas were soon proclaimed "The beer and cereal lovers" punk band and the foremost purveyors of Pre-Cambrian rock. Their distinctive live shows combined stop-and-go thrash mayhem, political calumny, heavy-metal satire, questionable tuning techniques, impersonations of Fred Flinstone and Bob Halford, one instance of simulated on-stage sex (thanks, Traci) and a small but respectable riot in the bowels of the Cathay deGrande.

Three members of the band lived in a Melrose area house which became a crash-pad known as Stuka House, where friends from Santa Monica and elsewhere would take drugs and fight with their girlfriends before going to shows in Hollywood.

Eventually embracing the traditional club circuit, they played with bands such as Theolonius Monster, Toy Dolls, The Beatles, Radwaste, Angry Samoans, Wasted Youth, Peter Frampton, MIA, Led Zeppelin, The Nip Drivers, and D.R.I. They played venues such as Perkins Palace, The Olympic Auditorium, Club Lingerie, The Anti-Club, The Music Machine, Mabuhey Gardens in San Francisco, The Rose Bowl, and the former Soviet Union.

The Stukas made contributions to Mystic Records' "Party Or Go Home" and "Covers" compilations as well as to various independent cassette compilations. They made a music video on illicitly borrowed UCLA Art Department video equipment of the song "Life Like Yogi" which is included on a Flipside video compilation.

The Stukas launched their 2nd assault in the form of the full-length album 'The Age of Aquariums', released on the Happy Squid label. Critics praised the record with comments such as:
"Stupid, corny, rude, crude boorish punk garbage" WNMC Radio
"If they practice real hard they might be the next Dead Milkmen" SickTeen ..15 1/2
"Happy Squid has released some mighty fine records but this one is a real dud" Buzz ..34
"With what they do to hardcore, they'd better stay out of dark alleys with skinheads around" FactSheet ..28
"Not inventive, funny, original, inspired, or particularly enjoyable in any way" Option ..23
"They used to be a punk band" Flipside


You get the idea. It is rumored that most of the original run of 1000 lps remains unsold.

"Invaders From Planet Xemu" is the last flowering of the final Stukas lineup; Ken Clean-Air System (vocals, tambourine), Pete Grella (guitar) Greg Wheeler (bass) and Kurt Mize (drums). It was recorded live by Mike Monsalve (singer/bass player of the Users) on an 8-track tape recorder in the basement of Stuka House II in the early 90's.

While holding one foot in the prehistoric past, several of these songs have proven to be prescient. Although "Wheels" was originally written as a Road Warrior-type story of turbo-charged violence, with subtle references to Central American civil wars, it now functions as an apt allegory for the various inter-ethnic conflicts of the 1990s. "Invaders From Planet Xemu" warned of the dangers of Scientology long before Time Magazine's "Cult of Greed" cover story.

The notes are painful. The words are irritating. The message is clear. You have been warned. The invaders are here."
