Release Notes:
The Bon Bon Club are Sushi Quatro (bass, vox), Thirsty
Moore (drums, vox) and Chapatti Smith (perc, vox),
although Sushi and Thirsty are better known under
different names for their day job as the rhythm section of
Sheffield glam-popsters The Long Blondes and Chapatti also
plays in Slow Down Tallahassee. On this single The Bon Bon
Club hit us with a Hulk-fist sized triple whammy (plus!)
of cover versions. Rather than slow the songs down on
acoustic guitar to æshow the great songwritingÆ like every
Jo Wiley Live Lounge indie plodder, the Bon Bons strip æem
down and rip æem up to the real essentialsùthe bass and
drums. This is how you do it.
Reviews:
"Single Of The Week"
Piccadilly Records
"Absolutely no dip in quality from this now legendary and
highly collectable Sheffield label. This is
brilliant...All rumbling bass, sassy sultry riven female
vocals and it all has that Sheffield Pazazz about it. It's
got a little Long Blondes & Life Without Buildings to it
but also a little rock and roll and added funk punk.
Excellent stuff and i will be watching this lot VERY
closely. More please!!!"
Jumbo Records
"The Bon Bon Club are full of contemporary musical
references, from their moniker (similar to Tom Tom Club),
to their pseudonyms of Sushi Quatro, Thirsty Moore and
Chapatti Smith. And if this isn't enough to endear you,
then one listen to their grimey, stripped-back cover
versions will do, whether its their aping of DFA 1979's
'Death From Above' in the style of Mudhoney or their
removal of the mystic, woozy quality from The Cure's
'Lullaby', which thus becomes altogether more menacing in
the process."
