COPY CATS - Fuck You If You Don't Like It! EP 1998

Debut record by Frankfurt's Copy Cats and I'm too lazy to write but I found two reviews which brings it to the point: "Took a long time until the thing was done but the result can be seen and heard above all. Three snotty Punk'n'Roll numbers (two covers by Chesterfield Kings and Nomads plus a separate song that I like the best by far), which occur well ass and apparently some people also stimulate other body regions. Swen by Plastic Bomb has chosen this drive to his favorite masturbate. This is very commendable, and we support such a thing only too happy to print especially for him by a pin-up photo of the singer Silke. Who does not own this music, which was hastily send ten dollars to the address above, because it certainly does not take long to get this thing can only buy at exorbitant prices in sleazy sex shops". (Köing Chauki, Gerda No.2 1998, Frankfurt) - "This is one of my favorite bands right now. Great garage rock with sleezy girl group vocal action. ShangriLa/Runaways fans, this is gonna get ya shakin’ Hot Nomads cover!" (Jeff Dahl, Sonic Iguana, 1999) - Their second 7Inch (Better Be Good) is with it and should you love their sound you need the Vampirella 10'' as well.

COPY CATS - Vampirella 10'' 2000

Mainhatten strikes back. For years, the Copy Cats from Frankfurt inspire the whole fuckin' republic again and again with great concerts. Their glam punkrock '77 style creates always an excellent atmosphere and a terrific evening is guaranteed. After two singles they have with 'Vampirella' their first mini-LP released in the form of a 10'' on Sick Wreckords and offers nine snappy masterpieces of solid punk rock'n'roll which burns the sky and awakens all present prisoners. Full speed playin', sometimes baladesk, sometimes trendy and Silke is still hot, puhhhhhh... - A pure party album with damn good covers, worth mentioning Car Crash from the Avengers and the legendary Vampirella by Cocks In Stained Satin, great garage rock with sleezy girl group vocal action and if this doesn't kick your ass then I don't know.

COPY CATS - Living In A Pumpkin 2003

One more pumpkin post with Frankfurt's Copy Cats at last with their first proper full-length album from 2003 and this 33 RPM kick all records of the Garage/Punk'N'Roll section and this sound brings you pretty close to a heart attack. They have two 7inches and a 10'' out and they keep the level very high. With their mix of powerful Rock'N'Roll and snotty catchy guitar sound they are live an absolute burner. I know what I'm talkin' about. The fun the four have on stage spills from the first note over and goes immediately into your veins, you can't help yourself and the pogo goes on. Of course, here again are some covers (Emergency, Who's That Girl?) and a few ballads, Silke is as always hot and the boys as well. To my knowledge, the band is still active, playing here and there a few gigs but unfortunately everyday life takes much time so that rehearse obviously is difficult for the four. Well, let's see what else follows. And now.... DFB cup!

COCKS IN STAINED SATIN - Vollsuff EP 1984

Debut EP on Clorex Records by this great Frankfurt rockers. A clutch of punk and thrash songs, raw, speedy and funny. Brilliant KBD stuff!! Bernd Hasenfus, drummer, and later DER DURSTIGE MANN died sadly in 2009. Therefore on 24/07/2009 was a "bernd memorial evening" in the Elfer Club here in Frankfurt, where well-known local heroes (COPY CATS, BORNHEIM BOMBS, DER DURSTIGE MANN and COCKS IN STAINED SATIN) gave honor to him, my ever beloved girl and I enjoyed this unforgetten charming evening. - Six songs, all cool!

JESTERS - Hillbilly Bop 7'' 1981

From Newcastle to Berlin with another rare record by Rockabilly's Jesters, a five piece combo; in detail: Richie (vox), Detlef (bass), Mickey (lead guitar), Sheeby (guitars) and Leroy (drums) and this little two-sided cracker was released on Blue Moon Records and offers hearty 50's sound pleasure, rough and unpolished from the cellars of the Führerbunker. They recorded an album but was never released, maybe financial reasons or because the band broke up in 1981. Unfortunately, there is no further information available about this band in the net and so this remains to be their secret. But luckily Rotten Totten Records released a 10'' in a limited edition of 200 copies with all their recordings '79-'82 and it's nowadays fuckin' rare. If anyone could send a copy this would be great. Now let the wild cats out and turn the knobs to maximum.
