THE PIN-UPS - Take One 1981

Ahhhhhh, so pleasant to have a day off and the weekend already started with five Weizenbier, I am now delighting you with a combo, probably from Copenhagen, with their only album which came out via Harlekin Records. We're talking about the Pin-Ups and they were Katrine (vocals), Kim (vocals/guitars), Carsten (bass/lead guitar), Niels (drums/keys). The band debuted at Saltlageret in September 1980, where they played a warm-up for the Warm Guns. They were also guets on the Generational event JETZT!! gig '80 in Huset in Magstræde and a selection of concerts in Rockmaskinen, including along with No Knox and Before. The band's last performance was on October 26, 1983 for a concert in the Radio House, which was recorded and broadcast on DR P3 in November 1983 (which I unfortunately don't have). But Oh, I can promise you, this is top material, a healthy mix of new wave and punk, with female vocals and great mid-tempo goodies, completely unknown to me until now and grateful to rediscover them and I know, you fuckers will like the album.
