I'm going to a work related conference in a couple of days. I should be doing laundry. But I'd rather not to be honest. I am posting Godstar instead.
Well, two of their seven inches anyway.
Godstar. One of the many bands featuring Nic Dalton who was also in the Lemonheads which some older folks and maybe an occasional "Classic Rock" station or two may remember from the 90's. It's only a matter of time before State Fairs and casino gigs become Evan Dando's future. But this isn't about him.
Godstar took their name from a 1985 song by Psychic TV about Brian Jones from before Psychic TV got all disco ravey and Genesis P-Orridge transitioned into the person they are today. (I saw them a couple years after this came out. I was appalled.)
This single is pretty straightforward jangly mid-fi pop. It's on the Bus Stop label (in the US anyway)
"Kitchen" would be covered by the Lemonheads on the same Lp that gave them their hit, but I can't honestly say it was an improvement over the original.
The other one on Bus Stop is more of the same. Not quite lo-fi recordings of pop songs with a distinct antipodean vibe about them.
I quite like it.
You should like it too.
That's not a suggestion.
