Gumball were a New York alternative band led by scene vet Don Fleming. Prior to Gumball Don led the bands B.A.L.L. and The Velvet Monkeys and was also an in-demand record producer, working with Sonic Youth, Hole and Teenage Fanclub to name a few. He was also briefly a member of Dinosaur Jr appearing on the recording of "The Wagon" that Sub-Pop released as a single in 1990 as well as a couple tracks on Green Mind. This is the European version of Super Tasty that included the Wisconsin Hayride EP (an EP of covers). I know that at this point it must be getting pretty old, but yes, J Mascis does play on this album as well as a couple tracks on the EP (the Damned and Black Flag covers). Super Tasty is a rad album that references 70's punk and power pop, eighties indie rock and even grunge music without sounding derivative. Both Super Tasty and the Wisonsin Hayride EP sound super thick and fuzzy thanks to the Butch Vig production, and are definitely lost 90's classics that should have been all the rage.
