i can't compete with your tiger beat!
the screamers are my new obsession.
a million reasons these 1970's LA techno punk rockers rule: the frontman is named tomata du plenty, they refused to record an album, they also refused to use guitars, they used to sell out the whiskey-a-go-go and the roxy without any official releases, the lyrics are ridiculous and i just can't stop listening to them.
since there are only bootlegs, i'll make it easy and post up a myspace page with some songs on it and here are a few lyrics for good measure:
There's sixteen reasons why I'm not in vogue,
I can't compete with your tiger beat,
Why don't you jet me to your precious family circle
You don't love me
You love magazines
Is this Apartment House Wrestling?
Another Mad Saga
My Fate has been sealed to a Modern Bride
Was it Fact or Fantasy, Simplicity Patterns?
and here's video of "i'm going steady with twiggy":

also he kinda looks like billy PRASTON.
I remember this guy, He eventually died of an overdose didn't he?
Makes me laugh to watch this as it reminds me of my nights at the Ratskeller Kenmore Sq
he died of AIDS actually. pretty sad. he sounds like he was amazing.
Tomata Du Plenty: You know people always ask us "How come you got no record" I'll tell you why, because we don't give a shit, to tell you the truth Tomata would rather go vertigo.
