A few notes of housekeeping before today’s post— I’ve re-ripped and reuploaded a few things, mainly upgrading bitrates of Epitaphe, De Press, Boytronic, and Bushido from a while back. I’ve also re-ripped a few more things that I’m slowly working through, so there should be a few more of these upgrades to come, as well as a lot of new, unheard stuff that I can’t wait to share with you…
Here we have Asmodi Bizarr’s classic Sunsierra LP, a landmark in female fronted post-punk in the veins of Xmal Deutschland, Stimmen Der Stille, Cry of the Innocent, etc. The band hailed from Düsseldorf, Germany and released three albums and one demo 7” (would love to hear this!) before calling it a day in the early 90s. Members of the band also recorded a 7” compilation track under the name Aspirin. Fortunately, the band can be found on Facebook, and has since reunited to play shows in 2011 and 2014, respectively. They’re playing this year’s Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival, so I hope those headed out that way can check them out and report back!
This is their first LP, released in 1986 as an LP+12” package, featuring two of the band’s best songs as the bonus LP cuts. Some of you may have seen this posted elsewhere, but this particular copy is freshly ripped and cleaned up for maximum listening enjoyment. To those who haven’t heard it yet, it’s one of my all time favorites. Either way, hope you enjoy it!
