Missile Command
I finally got the chance to see Ludicra on the first night of their tour. It was right down the street from my house and it was on my birthday. It couldn't have been timed better. They're one of my favorites these days, and in my opinion, one of the better Metal bands out there today.
Missile Command was the band that Christy Cather(Vocals and guitar) was in before Ludicra. They were from Davis, CA and put out a self released cassette called "Prepare To Be Attacked". They were one of the first Metal bands that I saw after moving to this town. They played at a place that is not known to be a big supporter of the local Metal scene. So that made it even better. Every once in a while a band comes along and renews my faith in Metal (that's cuz I'm pretty picky about the genre as a whole). That night Missile Command did it for me. I'm a sucker for angular guitars, head banging and someone who understands all that is good about Metal, plus they had two people on vocals and some keyboard in there too. I'm not suprised at all that she went on to form a band as great as Ludicra. Here's a couple from the tape.
Missile Command - Fire
Missile Command - Electric Funeral
Get the whole tape here
I talked to their drummer once and I guess he was the one who was crazy about old school Atari and everything. I asked him if he ever heard of the porno games that they made for Atari, but he had never heard of them. Sometimes I think people might think I'm making it up, but it's real. Check it out here.

Holy crap, that Missile Command was AWESOME. I looked them up, but I was unsure - is the dude still taking orders for the tape? I MUST HAVE IT...
Yup, they weren't too shabby. I haven't seen the tape around for a while. You can try asking Christy from Ludicra and see if she still has any left. Cheers
Hey man, it is very interesting, could u put all musics from this demo here? Thanxxx!
Pleeeeeeease post the whole tape, I have bugged Christy for one, but alas no tape. Just so y'all know, Christy has a cool new band called Beercraft that does kind of beer hall folk songs via metal. They only play at breweries and parties where good beer (no swill!) is served. Death to False Beer. Ludicra is currently working on what will be our 4th album and it will have absolutely no Missle Command songs on it.
Alrighty folks, the whole tape is now up. Rock it!!!
I remember in the summer of 1995,I was at a party in West Sacramento where Missile Command was playing,and they played "Electric Funeral". I remember just thinking that how great it was that they captured the power and the eternal majesty of that masterpiece of the beast we know as heavy metal- it just felt right! Thank you..Thank you.
