MYSTERY GIRLS - Rock'N'Roll With Helen & Jenny EP 1983

Now a record I know absolutely nothing about and by the looks of things it was never released. They were at home in Switzerland and never released an official record. Fact is, two girls on the microphone, Helen & Jenny, and they were supported by Brian (guitars) and Zmotron (bass/drums) and I give you the valuable information, from unknown source, that was included: "Back in 1983, Mr. Ratboy was Brian Blade, the guitarist for The Mystery Girls, a Shangri-Las/Dolls/Modern Lovers-influenced combo whose only recorded legacy is a very rare acetate 33 RPM single, limited to only five copies with a xeroxed cover. The four tracks featured here are the far-superior demos recorded in Switzerland with a full band that included not only the future World Famous Mr Ratboy, but also the enigmatic Zmotron, who went on to play in an early incarnation of the Dogs D’Amour under the name Mark Draxx." - Why this fantastic EP didn't make it to the public is a mystery, because all the four goodies are a solid mix of Punk, PowerPop, Indie and so on, deliciously played and as tasty as my meatballs yesterday, a bit more melodic and spicy enough, and the vocals are absolutely delicate. Fantastic record in every way and one that captivated me from the start, love is so diverse and always a beautiful topic. Forget all the stupid artificial pop crap when you’ve heard this.

HUNGRY FOR WHAT - The Shattered Dream EP 1985

A nice, pleasant day is coming to an end and I still find time to do the second post that was announced for today, a big sorry again to everyone who is waiting for their emails to be answered, I want to do this at the weekend. Let's welcome this Swiss combo Hungry For What which released a few records and this is their 12Inch with five solid powerful goodies on Farmer Records and this domestic album introduces their PopPunk sound to American audiences. From Switzerland (originally in a 70’s Punk band Sozz), these guys combine power and great tunes into an early Clash-like sound. I particularly like the harmonica in the second song, which works brilliantly as a rhythm instrument and gives the sound even more drive. Don't hear that often! Overall a decent record and it's a miracle I managed to get a few more lines out. Good Night und auf bald!

THE SQUIRT - Men And Their Masters 1985

The only album by this fantastic combo was released via Weird System and the four were inspired by the sound of such great bands as the Dead Kennedys, D.O.A., Black Flag, etc.... the Squirt founded at the beginning of the Eighties in Zurich and consisted of Marc (vocals/guitars), Gertjan (bass/vocals), Ueli (drums/guitars/vocals) and their aim was to become the fastest and toughest Swiss band. They recorded a demotape in 1983 with fourteen Songs and somehow it fell into the hands of the Hamburgers and they were immediately enthusiastic and decided to make an album with them, and so Men & Their Masters was recorded, followed by a Germany tour. In terms of sound, the Squirt is fast and precise, a healthy portion of Hardcore that rarely comes from the Alpine country, and the potential is strong and the level is very high, they absolutely don't have to hide behind the aforementioned bands, the four can inspire with thier record. A real smasher!

V/A - Panx Vinyl Zine 11 EP 1992

French label Panx Productions created their small Panx Vinyl Zine series at the end of the Eighties and eleven parts were released. Pressed exclusively as 7Inch, initially hand-numbered and always provided with a small booklet, bands were given the opportunity to show what they could do. Mostly unknown combos, who were only a small part in their lifetime at vinyl on these series. So a very good innovation and anyone who owns all eleven records can certainly put them all together on a CD and have a really rare and surprisingly good Compilation with excellent material, in my opinion. I only have this one but it kicks well and is affordable for just a few euros, like all the others. Now start to an interesting little journey through the world and meet likeable people who can do it too. Cheers! 🍻

FRESH COLOR - s/t 12'' 1979

Fresh Color was a Swiss combo formed circa 1978 in Aarau by guitarist Gutze Gautschi. They started as a Punk band featuring Dieter Meier, however, Meier left after two 7Inche, Cry For Fame (released as 'Dieter Meier') and No Chance (released as 'Fresh Color'). Meier went on to form Yello. Fresh Color released further singles in Punk style. This five track 12Inch is the rare second record on Sticks-Records and starts very poppy and you think, "Oh No!, What A Shit!", but already with the next song the slab turns into a solid Punkrock pearl with female vocals and great tempo, not as aggressive as some other Swiss bands but very decent. Enough blog, in about two hours the ball will be rolling again.

LILIPUT - s/t LP 1982

"Liliput, initially known as Kleenex, were a female Swiss band formed 1978 in Zurich. The band experienced numerous line-up changes throughout their existence, with bassist Klaudia Schiff being the only constant member of the band over their entire history. Guitarist Marlene Marder joined the group shortly after their formation, and remained a member until their 1983 split. LILIPUT's final line-up consisted of Schiff, Marder, and lead vocalist Astrid Spirit, and it was in this incarnation that the band recorded their only full-length studio albums, Liliput (1982) and Some Songs (1983). According to AllMusic, Liliput made some of the best, most adventurous, most exhilarating, and most critically derided music" of the Punkrock era." 

Difficult for me to describe this album, a professional review can do it better: "You can bet that a karaoke version of LiLiPUT's first full-length will never see the light of day. It's an exciting and ultimately accessible amalgam of crazy rhythms and impossible-to-replicate vocalisms. The recording found the band as a trio, having lost a drummer and a saxophonist. Only Astrid Spirit, Klaudia Schiff, and Marlene Marder remained, sharing all of the duties. Aside from the airy "Might Is Right" and the relatively forceful "Like Or Lump It," there's hardly any prominent guitar. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't hear guitar unless you were specifically hunting for it in the mix, because it makes for just as much of a percussive element as the drums. Generally, they pound out a loping rhythm and chant unintelligible phrases, adding the occasional violin shriek or unidentifiable nuance. This method strikes gold with each attempt. "Do You Mind My Dream" snarls & swoops; the guitar is just as effectively plucky and trebly as the one found on Liquid Liquid's "Optimo" and Talking Heads' "I Zimbra." Spirit's squeaky vocals highlight "In A Mess" and "Tong-Tong," both of which could be mistaken for New York funksters ESG. "Outburst" could be the best example of LiLiPUT's greatness, with a jumpy bassline and the most animalistic of vocal gestures. Spirit "ugh"s in time with the one-two bass punch as if she were being karate chopped in the gut. At other points during the song, she alternates between "proper" singing and helium ingestion, breaking that up with hyena-like noises. LiLiPUT actually gets more experimental than that. "Birdy" is a nails-on-chalkboard violin instrumental, gradually gathering steam until hitting overload. "Umamm," another instrumental, offers little more than tribal drums. Thx to the similarly titled Compilation, the album is available in its entirety." (Andy Kellman)

DIETER MEIER - Cry For Fame 7'' 1978

Before founding Yello in 1979, Dieter Meier from Zurich was in various Punk bands active and released some decent Singles. This two Killer track goodie is one of them and came out via Periphery Perfume and the line-up consisted of Dieter (vocals), Kurt (guitars), Bruno (bass), Dieter (drums). Two fast & furious bullets shoot straight in your pretty face and the smoke clears slowly over your head and you Cry For Fame!, definitely one of the best Swiss records ever pressed on vinyl, really a blast I would say. Another 7inch Jim For Tango followed but it's just dust compared to this explosive one. With that, the long Pentecost weekend is opened and check the four on some essential Compilations if you haven't enough, Cheers!

BASTARDS - Schizo Terrorist 1978

A fucking cool record and one I posted already in my former Blog is the next one by the Bastards, a five piece from Geneva and consisted of by Marie-Pierre & Sando (vocals), Jean-Francois (bass), Ralph (guitars), Didier (guitar/drums). The band emerged from the Slam, one of the first Swiss glam rock bands that formed in 1976 and changed its name and sound in 1977, and in their short existence one 7Inch was released through Zaki Records (the original record is available for a cheap € 350,-) and in 2006 Feathered Apple Records reissued this in two versions, first pressing of 500 numbered and the second pressing 1000 regular copies. This combo is pure Punkrock and belongs to the best bands from this country, that is confirmed also by numerous Compilation contributions. They play in the top league of SwissPunk with their snotty songs and are always welcome in my domicile, nine blasts will convince even those who don't know them, definitely! Brilliant Stuff!

REDNECKS - Blitzkrieg Bop 2007

"We called ourself the Rednecks because we hated boring sloppy hippies! We played Kick-Ass Rock'N'Roll. The New York Dolls and the Ramones inspired us. The second concert saw us open for our idols, the Troggs. They watched our show and dug us too! We're in heaven! Listen!!!!.... and Kick!!!" All tracks were recorded live on October 18th, 1978 @ Salle Du Faubourg in Geneva, Switzerland (opening for the Troggs). The Rednecks were a Punk band from Geneva and consisted of Francis Seilern (vocals/guitar), Babine (bass), both from Jack & The Rippers, Sandro Sursock (vocals/guitars) from the Bastards and Paul Zouridis (drums) from the Scelerates. The band was specializes in cover versions of their favorite crunchy Punk and Rock & Roll songs by the Ramones, Heartbreakers, Pirates, Chuck Berry, etc.... and these recordings shows the band in absolute top form and all tracks are present here in a consistently recording quality. Hit after Hit and I can imagine how incredible this show was. I think, these songs are the only releases by them, so relax and listen to this limited to 300 copies CD-only!

ABGAS - 2x7'' 1981

Welcome to 2023, you came over safe and sound and a new year is ahead of us. The first post is a self-released double 7Inch by Abgas, a three piece from Switzerland and consisted of Gary Sinnlos (vocals/guitars), Bobo Ramoene (bass), Tomy Abschreck (drums) and whoever has this record is rich, haha... - Here we go with some basics: Abgas was founded in Kreuzlingen at the end of 1980 by Gary and Thommy. Thomas Leuch was the band's first bassist until spring 1981. All three members played musical instruments for the first time on the founding day. After seven days, the debut concert took place on New Year's Eve 1980 @ the Jägerkaserne in Konstanz with seven self-composed songs. In early 1981 their first demotape Greatest Hits was released. There were ten songs on it plus a live recording from a gig @ the youth center in Kreuzlingen on February 21st, 1981 on the b-side. The distribution was made by their own label Gefahrenzone Records. Abgas also appeared on the Kampf + Unrecht tape compilation, which was mainly distributed in Germany. In the spring of 1981, Bobo Ramoene joined the band as new bassist. Then the rare s/t double EP with songs such as 'Münsterlinge', 'Die Welt Ist Tot' and 'Kleines Mädchen' came out and is the bands first vinyl output with fourteen great low-fi goodies. Dozens of concerts in Switzerland and southern Germany followed. Stefan Tatendurst served as a temporary help at concerts when Bobo was absent. He replaced him shortly thereafter. The following year further concerts in Switzerland and a tour through Italy. Various live recordings were released on the label Schizoid Disaster (Bern) and on August 1st, the national holiday of Switzerland, Abgas produced and distributed the Anti-Sampler with seventeen bands from the Swiss underground scene.

As of 1983, the band stopped playing earlier songs. A new sound emerged with nameless and strange songs. Stage sets were created and from then on the band played naked and only painted with finger paints. Dozens of concerts were played in some larger halls such as the Rote Fabrik. The stage show became more and more spectacular. A June 1 live recording of two shows was self-released on cassette. In the next two years, the music repertoire was enlarged again. The cassette And I Wait (self-published) made it into the LP charts of the Tagesanzeiger, which was created by Musicland, shortly after it was released. A few more concerts on Swiss soil followed before the band members fully engaged in their own art. Twenty-four years later, Abgas were back in the rehearsal room and working on new songs, which were presented live in August 2011... gehen wir es ruhig an und auf ein neues!

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!

PLATZA - s/t 12'' 1982

Little to be learned about the following five from Zurich. Founded in the early Eighties by Ilia (vocals), Jörg (guitars), Wietn (bass), Urs (drums), Christoph (sax), the five individualists described their group Platza (1981-1982) as "a kind of bio-rhythm" and released in 1982 on R.F. Records their only record. Musically more towards PostPunk, the six songs are somewhere in the difficult catchy area and I can only listen to the slab at certain moments and presumably the Swisspunk scene at that time, which had excellent bands around, didn't have much access to this type of sound, especially the use of a saxophone creates goosebumps. And with the departure of the Düsseldorf bassist Wietn, there was no ground to continue. But for the great Definitiv Zürich compilation they got honored with a song.

GLUEAMS - Discography 2010

"One of the holy grails of femme Punk underground gets a much-deserved reissue" and this straightforward ’77 masterpiece was brought to us by Static Age in an edition of 500 copies. This little label from Berlin has already revived some real Nuggets and I think, this one's is the first release at all. Egal, the Glueams were a short-lived combo which released back in the day (1979-1980) only three EP's which are all on this sucker plus seven unpolished live tracks from the "Swiss Punk Now" Festival which took place in November 1979. On this record are involved: Dorette (vocals), Huri & Martin E. & Martin P. (guitars), G.T. (bass), Marco (drums). I'll leave you with a suitable review so I don't have to write much:

"Absolutly beautifully packaged collection of the 7Inche of this essential Swiss Punx, plus a remastered but still raw live set. Fierce female vocals over artfully constructed yet raging punk that's somewhere between Jack & The Rippers, Lost Kids and TNT! Dorette's vocals are less schreechy than Poly Syrene and less arch than Kleenex, but have this raucous sexy quality them that brings to mind Lost Kids. The music is basic, sorta brutish in places but anthemic and catchier than scabies. It's hard not do dance to this shit. "365" is a dance party floor filler, "Mental" is a triumphant anthem; perfect for soundtracking another crappy day in the real world. The lead guitar part sounds weirdly intricate and repetitive. "Strassen" has this swagger to it, the vocals less exubertant than on the first Singles, then a paint-by-numbers guitar solo comes in and dislodges your brain cells. The live stuff were recorded at the is cool, but after listening to the Punk perfection of the first two seven inches it's not quite as compeling. Though it does add to the rest of the package.The cover has this crazy picture of Dorette under a weird foil covered burning cross, it gives it a dark paganlook rahter than anything else though. Releasesd in part by the people who did the amazing Hot Love book on SwissPunk that you gotta check out if you haven't already, it's the size of a phone book and probably on of the coolest documents of the early Punk scene I have seen." (Layla Gibbon, MRR May 2011)

THE BUCKS - The Fun Out Of Depression 1983

Third album by the energetic Zurich three piece Bucks on Polygram and yes, the songs are longer and more playful/melodic than on their predecessors. But still interesting and, in my opinion, a completely unfairly underestimated band. Otherwise there's not much to tell today, I'm tired and listless. They've made six more albums and gigging live here & there, and I'll cheer myself up a little, forty degrees today.

NEON - s/t 7'' 2016

Hui, it was a beautiful hot summer day at the lake today and now freshly showered I fill wdthtc with an all-girl band from Switzerland who unfortunately didn't put anything on vinyl when they were active, but some recordings survived the Gau and the essential Berlin label Static Age put out this classic 7Inch (some in pink vinyl) with two goodies back in 2016. A little insight about them from the insert: "We, Astrid (vocals), Dagmar (guitars), Loredana (bass), Gitta (drums) met in May 1978 in Zurich and formed Neon. None of us had ever played an instrument before! But, we were all animated by the spontaneous, creative, and rebellious spirit of Punk. Then ,we practiced for four months and got four songs together. We were surprised that we also managed to build a small fan base with our small numbers of tracks. Our first show was on 1. November 1978 at the Hey Club in Zurich, followed by the gig with Hertz on 17. November at the Spex in Bern. To fill the respective evening's programme we simply played or entire repertoire several times over.

In the beginning, we planned to shoot a Super-8 movie about holidays in a subway station: Neon sun and Neon fun. It shoud then have been shown at our concerts, while we played live. In addition, neon art objects strewn across the stage. Yet, everything went so fast that, eventually, we only could make a light installation with regular neon tubes.

Then in December, a performance on Swiss television took place for a programm about "Woman In Show Business." The TV appearance did not make us happy at all. The recordings of our songs were done in a music studio and we had to fight hard for them. Then, this stage direction voice gave commands from out of nowhere and did not suit us at all. After this wretched story we decided on playing no further gigs for a while. During this time-out, we also rehearsed with other musicians, leading to a temporary replacement on bass. Then, in 1979 two gigs at POCH (Progressive Organisations Of Switzerland, a leftwing political party) events in Zurich; on 17. March at the Limmathaus and on 14. July at Helvetiaplatz, together with TNT. The latter was an Open Air Festival and, at the same time, our farewell show since Neon disbanded thererafter."

There's still a bit more infos, but I don't want to write more, read the rest on the insert while you hear the two classics from this short-lived band. I now have to equalize my Backgammon losses from this afternoon.

CHIN CHIN - We Don't Wanna Be Prisoners EP 1984

Since I've just re-upped the records of the Swiss all-female Chin Chin from Biel, now their debut EP from 1984 on Farmer Records. And "We Don't Wanna Be Prisoners" has everything a top Punk record needs and since I'm a bit drunk at an advanced stage, I'll leave it at that... nobody cares anyway... right?... Right! 🎸 Re-issued 2010 on Mississippi Records in a limited edition. Fantastic sound between Punk and twee pop, catchy melodies with sing along choruses, upbeat tempos, thumping bass lines and noisy guitars, there is nothing to complain about here and Seville is in two weeks.

here

MISCAST - s/t EP 1990

Miscast were Lothar (vocals), Thomas (guitars), Didi (bass), Stefan (drums) and formed around September 1983 by people in and around Olten, at a time when American hardcore swept into Switzerland. Back then I was working with Felix Fischer at Jamming Distribution and we were probably the first in Switzerland who were trying to sell stuff like This Is Boston Not L.A. & Flex Your Head comps, 7Inches and 12Inches by SS Decontrol, Negative Approach, Minutemen, White Cross, Minor Threat and the like. Miscast played somewhere around thirteen shows in Switzerland, among them one supporting Toxic Reasons and another playing after Die Toten Hosen. There were several smaller gigs too, one of them we did along with Haine Brigade at an anarchist meeting in Lamastre (France) on July 13th, 1984. It was a time bereft of enthusiasm (the "Youth Movements" had been crushed), various gangs of fascist scums kept attacking gigs, Punks beat up on each other, and so forth. There wasn't very much happening in the way of bands either, most of them were musically and ideologically still rooted in '77, except for a few... GKH for example, from Baden, who were very young (average age: 15) and therefore had quite a devil-may-care approach (meaning guitars with strings missing etc.). Still, they managed to get one song on the second Flipside compilation.

One of them also published the first Swiss hardcore fanzine before he changed sides and became a nazi-skin (with all but the drummer and their later bassplayer doing likewise... The drummer is now in Jaywalker). Brutal Menekken, Decontrol, Attax and Kosili too were early, moderate (and tame!) attempts at hardcore. None of them, however, were quite as fast, original and hard as Miscast. But sometime in Autumn 1984 the story had already come to an end, about half a year after the Miscast demotape was released on Stechapfel-Vertrieb. (words by Simon and translated from the liner notes.) - Cool Eighties Stuff!

V/A - Von Uns Für Uns 1982

Grüezi Mitenand and welcome to the eleventh weekend of 2022 dear friends! Let's see what I have for you today. Let's start with an interesting rarity, that fully deserve the predicate D.I.Y. and I give you a little basics: "The joy of being open or being able to be with each other, conversing, the feeling of doing something for each other. The emotion against time, the inertia." That was the intuition in September 1981 for the concert in the Roti Fabrik on January 30, 1982 with six bands (Zurich area), crowds people big event with music by Punks for Punks, and this record is the result of that. Everything was self-produced/financed in collaboration with the involved bands and released on green vinyl with a 16-pages stapled booklet and a folded poster. "We were tired of events where everything and everyone went under. We wanted to make music, by us for us!" - Wild, Rough, Raw, Authentic. TOP!

YTTERBIUM 70 - Futur Soldat Suisse EP 1983

Mega rare stuff from Lausanne and the story about this band goes like this: "a certain "CAM" (nickname) formed Ytterbium 70 in the 70's. In 1983, the band released this provocative and subversive EP "Futur Soldat Suisse" on Super Nova, openly promoting antimilitarism. All the songs were composed in 1979 by CAM. Pressed in France, the records got blocked for some time at Thônex's customs post because a swiss customs officer didn't want to take responsibility for letting subversive stuff into the country! It led to the temporary seizure of 2000 copies and created some buzz in the papers because cases of censorship are rather seldom in Switzerland. It finally went very smoothly as the authorities decided there weren't any reason to destroy the whole stock, fortunately for us! The single began to sell from April 1st, 1983. Nevertheless, the single was unexpectedly removed from sale only ten days after! Was the Confederation in the know? We'll probably never find out. Anyway, it explains why the record is now mega rare and can reach $300 a copy!" (source: williamtellsguitar) - Three superb killers!
