Babysitters on Acid is the first album by the American punk rock band the Lunachicks. [3] [4] It was released in 1990 by Blast First Records. [5] It was re-released in 2001 by Go-Kart Records.
AllMusic wrote that the album "didn't have much to say, but said it with enough base humor and zealous punk antics to keep the spirit of comic anti-revolution alive." [2] Exclaim! , reviewing the reissue, called it "a dopey and young record that basically defies serious criticism." [6] Louder Sound deemed the album "a day-glo classic of ramshackle excess and high-concept absurdity." [7]
