    • Yes, and it's unbelieavable how this post comes after I bought their CD two days ago.
      I was so happy because I couldn't find it in Italy, even though I've been looking for it a lot.
      Great band. Indeed.

    • I know this is going to sound dumb, but I just discovered this band thanks to the Yum Yums. I saw the Yum Yums at Gooski's here in Pittsburgh last year in March, and I bought a copy of their latest CD. The last track on the CD is a song called "Earthquake Song," and it's a live track in which the Little Girls join the Yum Yums on stage. This song was released in 1983, but somehow I missed it. I guess I was too busy listening to Quiet Riot's cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize" at the time to take notice.

      BTW, I know it was over a year ago when I first heard this song, and I meant to look up this band sooner, but I just kept forgetting about it. I get easily sidetracked. Now I'm friends with them on myspace.

      Additionally, I have Little Steven to thank for this, in a very long, roundabout way. Little Steven got me into Vibeke Saugestad, which in turn got me into the Yum Yums, and now the Yum Yums helped me to discover the Little Girls.

    • hey boss! How u today! Yeah i was down in South Queensferry, dont know why, but i actually miss it, all my older friends left for Cali, and surrounding areas, some went to Michigan, so i guess i had to leave too.. These people gave me my first taste of music, i mean like 25 years back, a real mountain of sounds, and most of the usual stuff u all talk about, but as diverse as lefty frizzell, some pre 65 avant garde, lots of acid sounds, mod of course, and the beat thing.. We have a great scene out here now though, the Mummies played a wee while back.. And the scene here is hot anyway..

    • Again, agreed. Too "hard rock" for my tastes... reminds me of Pat Benatar or Heart. Gimme the early Pandoras any day over this. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

    • hi, i will try! thanks so much!! whatwave dave said:

      Probably The Slickee Boys out of Washington DC area.....think that was on one of the Midnight Christmess LP's (on Midnight Records outta NYC) that came out in the late 80's/early 90's. Might also have been on one of their LP's.

    • Think The Ding Dongs have been around for a little while...but with BBQ and Bloodshot Bill on the road most of the time they probably rarely cross paths. Check Mongrel Zine 8 for more info... Rinjo Njori said:

      Doubtful... I think BBQ saw this coming and enlisted Bloodshot Bill as his new wingman. Notice how the Ding Dongs is a full album but Tandoori Knights is two songs? JK

      perhaps this will mean a Les Sexareenos return???

      Yes! "Big Bird" by Eddie Floyd is pretty much perfection.

    • "Makin' Deals" by The Satans or "So What" by The Lyrics both come to mind pretty quick. Oh, "Go On Leave" by Red Beard and the Pirates is another one.
