Apparently, I listen to strange music (judging by the looks on the faces of those close to me when I try to play it to them). Even by my standards...this is STRANGE!
In the early '80s, a good friend lent me his copy of the vinyl and it completely messed with my head. I had no idea that such ideas existed...obviously they did and it changed they way that I viewed the world. Alongside The Fall, The Birthday Party, Psychic TV and Crass...Lemon Kittens provided my soundtrack for quite a while.
Lemon Kittens were Karl Blake (who went on to record as the excellent Shock Headed Peters) and Danielle Dax (who made a more mainstream career from the mid-late '80s as a bit of a "Goth Sex Kitten" as I remember her repulsively described).
This was the second release on (founder member of Nurse With Wound) John Fothergill's visionary United Dairies label in 1980. This was re-released on Danielle's Biter Of Thorpe label in 1993. I own both formats. There is a sort-of review here so don't say I didn't warn you.

Great! Post more music from early 80s please!
ReplyDeleteDr BBall...don't understand you comment about Danielle. I didn't said anything negative about her and certainly not that her solo recorded work was "crap".
ReplyDeleteExcellent blog you have here.lots of great obscure music! The Lemon Kittens are fucking incredible and it's really bothering me that I can't find their Cake Beast ep.Do you have it or know where I might find it? any help would be much appreciated.
