CHAOTIK TH & TIP-EX - Split EP 1983

Now an early Swiss-Punk record on Gülden-Broduggt and this is all both bands ever released. First Chaotik TH from Schaffhausen and they are a garagy Punk band with crude instrumentation, inept drumming, and satirical themes. Founded 1980 as Der Pein and this formation breaks up in winter of 1981. After that, the former members found these two bands with new comrades-in-arms. The new line-up consisted of Hägi (vocals), Nert (guitars), Galle (bass), Seppi (drums) and they played the first concert at the AJZ Basel four weeks later as the opening act for Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle and on the same evening in Wetzikon at the Monster Festival with other Punk bands from the time who were well-known. 

Tip-Ex were Lenz (vocals/bass), Stefan R. (guitars), Stefan Winiger (keys), Maurus (sax) and played an experimental Punk-Pop outfit and were a short-lived project and became later the Der Böse Bub Eugen in 1983. Shortly before that in the same year they released this extremely rare split-7Inch together and everything unraveled... meaning, everything just started to make sense now! Both bands are not represented anywhere on Compilations and the original single can be purchased for cheap €180. You can analyze for yourself whether it's worth it. Now a little personal opinion, tomorrow the World Cup starts in Qatar and I have to say I'm not in World Cup fever and I never thought I'd see a World Cup game on my birthday, which is soon. It's all kinda weird. Of course I look at what I can see and maybe the spirit will come along, but the alignment there remains doubtful. Well, may it be an interesting and exciting four weeks. Enjoy this rare oddity!
