Big Balls And The Great White Idiot

Postby newwavepopman » Wed Jun 09, 2004 2:15 pm

Now just by their funny name alone,would make me want to hear their music.I bet they were some sort of a New Wave novelty act? Am I right on this? I have never seen or heard any of their albums.Then again,they never showed up in any used record stores, or stores locally that would carry that stuff back when that album came out back in 1978.I like the title of one of their songs that I see is listed in my old Trouser Press guide from 1983 called Hang Yourself From An Apple Tree.

What a name for a band though.Whoever thought of and came up with the name was very clever for sure.It is bands like this and Sic F*cks that make you want to hear their music just by their name alone.Has anyone got a clue what "Big Balls And The Great White Idiot" sound like even? I wish I knew.Thanks.

Just looked these guys up over in Google groups,and could not help but crack up when some poster had their song titles listed from their album,when this song title came up.These guys must have really been Punk at a time when late 70's Punk was very good.T

Go here to read all about them,and their albums.They also give the song titles from their albums as well.They sort of look a little like The Fabulous Poodles in a way,but their song titles sure sound more like late 70's Punk.

I was able to get the first Big Balls lp off of usenet. Truly some great snotty '77 style punk rock. Just enough talent to make it interesting but not so much as to overextend their welcome. If anyone has ftp access I'd happily upload the album. I jus
