TRASTE & SUPERSTARARNA - Pengar 7'' 1979 + Space Race EP 1980

Weekend and let's welcome it with a two record file and five classics therein. Traste & Superstararna was a Swedish punk band from Bollnäs with six or seven members, formed as The Calefactorys in 1970. They later changed their name to Sally & The Crackers before settling on Traste & Superstararna (Trush & The Superstarlings) in 1975. Their first 7inch 'Pengar' came out on Mesrock and is a brilliant Swedish KBD cracker, the a-side pretty '77 and the b-side a kind of punky rock'n'blues ballade, slow and I think the lyrics must be funny because the song is called 'Traktor' and I think it's about a farmer who loves to drive his tractor, spitze! Space Race follows one year later on Mamma Records with three cuts. Equally worth listening to. 'En Liten Rebell' is here my favourite song. After this release Mamma put out their full length album and that's it. The band split up in 1982. They featuring on various compilations. Massproduktion released in 2007 a collection CD called 'Du Din Jävla Sopa' with all their classics and many prevously unreleased tracks. Overall two good records by another interesting band from Sweden and I'm pleasantly surprised. Both Thumps Up Baby!
