The Saints
The Most Primitive Band In The World (Live From The Twilight Zone, Brisbane 1974)1 x LP Vinyl 44,90 €
Text on back sleeve: These tracks were recorded early-to-mid `74, almost a year after the band had formed and almost 2 1/2 years before the release of the first Saints` single in 1976. The recording was made in Ed Kuepper`s parents` garage, except for „Misunderstood“ which was recorded at Queensland University, direct onto a mono cassette-deck and features the second line-up of the band. Before this the Saints were a 3-piece, with Ivor Hay on piano and no drummer.
In a different universe this would have been the first Saints LP. It captures the band near the beginning of its first phase, as opposed to the EMI release which was at the end, and without getting into a debate about aesthetics, this one`s probably better.
Possibly due to the 3 million line-up changes and years of rejection that followed, a bit of spontaneity may have been knocked out of the Saints. Whatever, compared to these recordings, the EMI album sounds, ironically, almost a bit formularized. Certainly, Chris Bailey`s singing doesn’t get much better than the rather spiffing performance contained herein and Ivor Hay`s playing has a panache that maybe wasn’t matched by later bass-players. Laurie`s Deonardo Coleman-style drumming also had a lot going for it.
Anyway, if you like the early Saints, have a listen to to this, lots of love,
Edmund Kuepper

From back cover:
„Minneapolis’ Slow Death are a veritable punk rock super group. Comprised of ex-members of such luminaries as Pretty Boy Thorson and the Falling Angels, the Ergs, and the Rest of Us, these gentleman play a familiar style of melancholly, country-tinged midwestern punk of the exceptional quality you’d expect delivered from such seasoned veterans.
And deliver they do! This 7″ features four brand new Slow Death songs so goddamn good it’ll make your parents get back together!
Meanwhile, cartoonist Mitch Clem (Nothing Nice to Say, My Stupid Life) and his watercoloring cohert Nation of Amanda present an original, 40-page comic book illustrating some of Slow Death/Falling Angels frontman Jesse “Swan” Thorson’s craziest road stories!
It’s a team-up for the ages as punk rock band and punk rock cartoonist join forces to try and stop the evil goat-faced demon known as you being bored!“
