Roy Garrett born Roy Sambar in Colonia, New Jersey arrived in New York
City hungry to explore the sex and porn scenes he'd seen advertised in
the Village Voice's classified section. He danced in Times Square
theaters The Gaiety, Ramrod, and Big Top before moving into adult film.
From 1979 through 1983 Garret starred in ten films, five of them for Joe
Gage, including his lead role in 'Heatstroke'. Throughout this period
of self-discovery, he wrote the suite of poems that became 'Hot Rod to
Hell'. In 1982 he recorded 48 of the poems with haunting, atmospheric
score by Man Parrish, who also did several soundtracks for Gage. The
project was produced for the stage and for cassette by Manhattan
illustrator Robert W. Richards. Richards calls 'Hot Rod', "a searing
voyage through the labyrinths of modern male sexuality; it's geography
ranging from porn theaters to back room bars to the intimacy of shared
beds. Only a man born at exactly the moment in gay history that Garrett
was could have lived through and conceived this work." Roy Garrett tells
his stories of sex, violence, truth, and illusion, a visceral and
personal a record as any of that moment in gay history pre-AIDS. Joe
Gage, describes 'Hot Rod' as, "...sweet danger. This is a perceptive
look at the underside of love. It is funny, scary, surprisingly moving
and best of all, extremely acute in observing the specifics of the human
condition." All poems have been carefully remastered for vinyl by
George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The records come housed in a
jacket designed by Gwenael Rattke and includes an 44-page full color
magazine with all 48 'Hot Rod' poems plus 44 previously unpublished
poems from Garrett's archive. All proceeds from 'Hot Rod' will be
donated to Housing Works, a New York City based non-profit fighting the
twin crises of AIDS and homelessness.
