Bambi Molesters - Live at Radio 101 03.04.2004

Here's a live set the Bambi Molesters did for the Croatian Radio 101 back in 2004, with great quality sound. Hope you enjoy it!

What were the odds of finding a Croatian band's rare debut single at a Rezillos show in Los Angeles? And why didn't I buy it for $3, since it normally sells for close to $20?

Track listing:

1. Wanganui (2:19)
2. Point Break (4:35)
3. Last Ride (3:25)
4. Corazon del loco Jorge (4:59)
5. High Wall (3:28)
6. Bombora (2:28)
7. Invasion of the Reverb Snatchers (4:35)

The Loudmouths & Hot Rod Honeys - Split 7"

Here's a fun lo-fi garage punk split single by the Hot Rod Honeys from Belgium, and the Loudmouths from some place or other. The Honeys' side features a cover by the wonderful Johnny Moped, and the Loudmouths' side another one by the Dayglo Abortions. It won't change your life but it's a nice enough single, and I happen to have two more LP's by the HRH's so if anyone out there is a fan, maybe you'll be happy to see them featured here in the next few days.

Track listing:

1. The Loudmouths - Cum'n'Go (1:47)
2. The Loudmouths - Feelin' Alright (1:28)
3. The Loudmouths - Argh Fuck Kill (1:18)
4. Hot Rod Honeys - Hard Lovin' Man (1:50)
5. Hot Rod Honeys - Naked'n'High (1:05)
6. Hot Rod Honeys - Ain't Got Luck (1:39)

Bambi Molesters - Coastal Disturbance EP

The Bambi Molesters are today probably the most critically-acclaimed surf band in the world, having such outspoken fans/collaborators as Peter Buck or Chris Eckman; quite a feat for a small band from a small Croatian town like Sisak. This 7" EP, released back in 1997 by the Plastic Bomb fanzine from Germany, is their second release (there was a tape called "Bambi Molesters Play Out of Tune" before, released by Slusaj najglasnije/Listen Loudest, which might be still available on a CD-R reissue from the same label), and features two instrumentals and two tracks which feature singing; after hearing them, it's really no wonder they gave up on singing completely, haha. Anyway, the recordings are charming and the single is currently not available anywhere, either in physical or virtual form, so here is a rip from my vinyl.

Track listing:

1. Coastal Disturbance (2:07)
2. She's So Soft Inside (2:21)
3. Wanganui (1:41)
4. 1000 Songs (2:43)

The Steve McQueens - Complete Discography

I have a bit of an obsession about this band - perhaps it's because I got their debut LP at a time when I only owned 15 or 20 punk rock tapes, or because they never had any success and I have a soft spot for unloved bands (I want to give them all the love I think they deserve, but do not get), or just maybe they really were great? Their sound is ramshackle, anti-fi garage punk, recorded so badly that I frequently have trouble differing between the bass and the drums, or the lead guitar and the vocals, and I don't think I ever understood a single word that was not part of a song title (OK, I think the chorus of "I've Got BSE" goes "I've got BSE, oh yeah!" but that's about it). I love them all the more for it. They came from Germany in the mid-nineties, released an album on Incognito Records in 1996 and another one on Radio Blast Recordings in 1999, along with a few singles, a split single and a couple of compilation appearances; by the turn of the century they were no more. Here then is their complete recorded legacy, 42 songs ripped from vinyl, in the hope someone beside my friend Josip will finally agree with me and say "Man, this is some of the best punk rock ever!" Give them a chance!
