New Wave Outpost Forum

Well since my last attempt garnered some interest, and I got to learn a lot from you vets, let's try "B" For those just joining us these are bands reviewed in one of the two Trouser Press Record Guides I recently rediscovered. Again, all information (good, bad and ugly) is appreciated:

Baby Flies
Biff Bang Pow!
Peter Blegvad (or Slapp Happy)
Brilliant Corners
Big Drill Car

And some extra trivia (though probably not news to the vets here): Penn Jillette was in a band called Bongos, Bass, and Bob which released an LP in 1988 called, "Never Mind the Sex Pistols, Here's Bongos, Bass, and Bob"???!!!

Love to here that.....

sounds like brilliant corners is my cuppa---have to search for that comp you mention

Other opinions?

I've uploaded a song from each band so you could get a little taste:

Biff Bang Pow! - "There Must Be a Better Life"

Brilliant Corners - "Friday Saturday Sunday Monday"

Ah, Brilliant Corners. Love that band so much I wrote about them:

Many New Wave fans in the Philippines know them for "Brian Rix," their radio hit over there, but there are actually even better tracks such as "Never a Young Girl."
