Wingtip Sloat is a group from Virginia that concocts eccentric pop and
wraps it in eccentric arrangements, like Syd Barrett produced by a drunk
Brian Wilson.
Their pre-history is documented by the
4-song cassette As Though I Was Waiting For That (Sweet Portable You, 1990),
the 4-song EP Wingtip Sloat (Sweet Portable You, 1991),
the 8-song cassette User-Friendly Bowl-Wrapper (Sweet Portable You, 1991),
the 13-song EP Half Past I've Got (VHF, 1992),
the 4-song EP Return of the Night of the Ardent Straggler (VHF, 1994),
the 21-song cassette Santa On The Crappa (Sweet Portable You, 1995).
Their debut album was Chewyfoot (VHF, 1994), played by a trio of
guitarist and vocalist Pat Foster, drummer David Bishop, bassist Andy Dubuc.
Three Minutemen covers revealed their idols.
