Mr. Quintron is an American musician and leader of the eponymous one-man-band, Mr. Quintron. He is a celebrated nightclub organist and inventor, who has patented a number of his own inventions and often performs at his own private club, the Spellcaster Lodge, located on St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans9th Ward. He frequently performs with his wife, fellow musician and puppeteer, Panacea Pussycat (also known as Miss Pussycat), co-founder of the 9th Ward's now defunct Pussycat Caverns. Quintron’s most notable invention to date is the Drum Buddy, a mechanically-rotating, five-oscillator, light-activated drum machine.



SATAN IS DEAD is the first Quintron venture into drum machines. Recorded in the dead heat of New Orleans August by a mysterious local engineer named Clint Montz, this record is notable also for the very first appearance of the DRUM BUDDY! You can see in the picture on the back that it was still in its crazy prototype form here with the ladies hairdryer thing over the top and the flexible gas line hoses holding the light sensors. This album is equal parts noise and rock and roll with great songs that are still in the live show like "Do the Stomp", and "9th WD. Breakdown" - an ode to crazy girls in the 9th ward neighborhood. The title "SATAN IS DEAD" is probably a reaction to the uber serious noise / no wave scene that Quintron fled when he left Chicago and returned to the southern states. Good luck finding this one. This was originally released on BULB and was the last of Quintron's "letterpress" covers. This has been out of print forever and there are no plans to re-issue although the title is technically owned by the Rhinestone label now....maybe someday.
