Exotic sound from Hungary by Bikini with their debut 7inch on Start. A bit info from discogs: The band was formed in 1982 by singer Feró Nagy and guitarist József Vedres after the disband of Beatrice. Bassist Alajos Németh, his brother, drummer Gábor Németh and guitarist Gábor Szűcs Antal joined them and formed Bikini. In the first years Bikini played punk music very similar to Beatrice. Frontman and songwriter Feró Nagy saw the band as a Beatrice-afterband, even covering some of their old songs. Most of their fans were the same as of Beatrice, going to concert not because of the band but because of the "Feró Nagy Phenomenon". This formation released two albums "Hova Lett..." in 1983 and "XX. Századi Híradó" in 1984 (without Gábor). Despite all similarities, Bikini and Rice were quite different, at least, seeing them retrospectively. The "ancient" Bikini members decided to strengthen the funny, rebel, "idiotic" side of Beatrice and the new band played a much more alternative and extraordinary, dadaistic hard rock-like or new wavist music with simple, nonsense lyrics, sometimes went into clear huey, assembled from interjection expressions, child poetry, blurred distopic visions about human mind control by engineering/education, or parodistic dance music quotes. Two solid tracks, in which the title track is the better one.
