"Dark Entries again shines a spotlight on bathhouse disco don
Patrick Cowley
with a newly remastered release of
Kickin' In
. Although Cowley tragically passed from AIDS-related illness in 1982, he left an extensive archive of unreleased tapes, many of which Dark Entries has had the honor of releasing. While working as a lighting technician at The City, SF's disco cabaret, Cowley saw rising star
Frank Loverde
perform. Cowley asked Loverde to contribute vocals to some material in progress, and Frank,
Linda Imperial
, and
Peggy Gibbons
joined Cowley in the studio. The resulting songs included 'Kickin' In,' a nine-minute cybernetic disco stormer that taps into the essence of Cowley's hi-NRG sound: equal parts spaced out and zoned in on the dancefloor. In May 1978 Cowley joined Loverde on stage at The City to perform 'Kickin' In' as they opened for disco diva
Sylvester
. 'Kickin' In' was initially released in 2015 via Honey Soundsystem who found the tapes in the basement of Megatone Records owner
John Hedges
. This newly remastered version was made possible due to the discovery of the original multi-track recordings of 'Kickin' In,' allowing for a fresh mixdown by
Jim Hopkins
as well as the creation of a new instrumental version. Also included are two impeccably sleazy Cowley jams recorded in 1980, 'Thief of Love' and 'Make It Come Loose.' Cowley narrates excerpts from his erotic journals on these raunchy slow-burners, capturing the vibe of SF's leather bars and backrooms. 'Thief of Love' features frequent Cowley collaborator
Paul Parker
on background vocals. This reissue of
Kickin' In
includes features an illustration by
Gwenaël Rattke
that originally appeared Cowley's erotic journal,
Mechanical Fantasy Box
, as well as a postcard with lyrics."
