So shut, shut your mouth

The Primitives were an alternative band from Coventry, UK fronted by Australian vocalist Tracy Tracy. A little twee, a little punk, they fused 60's bands' melodic sensibilities with fast Ramones-style power chords. They gained popularity when Steven Patrick Morrissey himself named them one of his favorite bands. They were best known for their 1988 hit "Crash," but this one has always been my favorite:

Me Gusta Ser Una Zorra

Las Vulpess (The Foxes) formed in 1980 in Bilbao, Spain. They had many members come and go but the lineup solidified in 1982. This was their big hit, released in 1983, which translates to "I like being a fox." Note fox is also slang for slut in Spanish. Apparently this song is the bands own original lyrics over their rendition of Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog." I love nothing more than a Spanish-sung girl punk band. I'd like to cover this, or at least get one of those fox-tail accessories.

Revel in the Static

Named for an Adam Ant song, girl fronted art-punks Animals & Men formed in 1978 after they met at a Wire/Ants gig in Bristol. They apparently still play out. This song is about tribal violence at gigs a la Crass vs Ants fans and the way that promoting the next big thing created a physical battleground.

happy holidays, ghoulies.
