Dadamah

It's going to be a long bleak day. This is what it sounds like.


1. Nicotine
2. High Time




1. Scratch Sun
2. Radio Brain

Dadamah were from New Zealand. They only played out a few times but concentrated their brief efforts with laying down some long droning bleak tracks onto tape. If you follow the lineage of the names you come up with some of the usual suspects in and around the Terminals universe and the really fertile early 90's period for Roy Montgomery. All the recordings were eventually released as This is Not a Dream on lp by Majora and cd by Kranky. My brain isn't functioning too well this morning without any coffee, so words are kind of beyond my current grasp. If you're interested Google is your friend, though I suspect that if you're downloading this you may already have a certain idea of what it is.

The Girls

Whilst I have a spot of time, a full cup of Java and a bit of gumption I'll add something to this pile that needs adding. Things may be a bit sporadic, but I haven't abandoned this ship.


1. Jeffrey I Hear U
2. The Elephant Man

The Girls were from Boston. Theirs was the only non-Ubu related single released on Hearpen records. They existed from mid-70's to some time in the early 80's and if the bass player in a former band is to be believed (and he knew all the principles) actively hated each other which translated into some fierce shows and stage fights. At least as I remember him telling it. This was their only official offering. And it's an amazing corker of synth noises and chaos and in the case of "Jeffrey I Hear U" a single chord.
Shortly after their demise an Lp called "Reunion" appeared out of nowhere and promptly flicked out of existence. (It's on my list of things I need to digitize, but the good folks at Mutant Sounds already took care of it as well.)

Do you need this? Yes. Yes you do. And very loudly.
