NRG - Aber Mein Liebchen 12'' 1986

This rare record is really amazing and I like it a lot. Very hard to find because it was pressed in a small editon. Here we have five strong punk tunes mixed in a catchy wavie sound plus the wild voice. Two 4 minute tunes, three short stirring tracks. Excellent!! Here's some info from their MySpace site: "Danish punk band NRG was formed in 1981 in the Copenhagen suburb Albertslund and existed until 1989. Their music evolved along the way from '76 punk and hardcore over free form avantgarde to a sort of paisley underground garage rock. They released the single Kulturel Forvaltning in 1984 and the mini-album 'Aber Mein Liebchen' (Hub Records) in 1986. Through all the years the band consisted of Kim Ingemann (guitar & vocals) and Claus Lindhardt (drums). Their line up was concluded with, in 1981-83: Erik Vosbein (bass) and Uffe Ejlerskov (guitar). In 1983-84: Uffe Ejlerskov (bass). In 1984-85: Soren Poulsen (bass) and Henning Malm (trumpet and garbagecans). In 1985-86: Uffe Ejlerskov (bass). In 1986: Emma Engberg (bass) and Lars Bjerr (guitar). In 1987-88: Henrik Geertz (bass). In 1988-89: Emma Engberg (bass) and Henrik Geertz (guitar). NRG moved base to Copenhagen in 1984 and performed regularly in the squatters' house Ungdomshuset and in the main rock club at the time, Barbue. NRG toured the main cities of Denmark and in Sweden, Russia and Uzbekistan. During 1990-1994 Kim and Claus rehearsed new material but performed only twice under the new moniker Shoom. In 1996 they had evolved into the project Shoom Unit". NRG can be found on Killed By Death #22 (coming soon) compilation. Don't hesitate to get this cool plate.
