THE PERSIAN RUGS 7"
"St.Peters Infirmary/
What's a girl supposed to do?"
SCAP 074
The year ends with a big BANG!!! We're more than proud to announce the first european release by the incredible PERSIAN RUGS from Australia!
What is it you might ask, that makes the whole Screaming Apple staff
go bananas about this record?
The answer is easy. It takes us back to the glory days of rock'n'roll in
the early eighties when one of the most important australian bands of all time
was formed, the HOODOO GURUS. And these guys (Dave Faulkner, Brad Shepherd and
Mark Kingsmill, this time assisted by ex CRUSADERS and THRUSTON HOWLERS
bassplayer Kendall James to be precise) are sailing the seven seas of r'n'r
during the past few years under 'false colors' by the name of the PERSIAN RUGS
to unashamedly live out their predilection for the puristic teen-beat of the
swingin' sixties.
Both songs on this 7" single are documents of this mania and belong without
any doubt to the very best the international garagepunk guild was able to offer
in 2008.
Get invited to a real fuzz-o-rama where swirlin' farfisa sounds dominating
the scene.
This record is a true must-have for all fans of the GURUS and of course for
all friends of the prehistoric caveman-stomp of bands like the early FUZZTONES,
GRUESOMES, CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND and MUSIC MACHINE. Be a guru and listen to the stoneage romeos!
