tour de force

  •  tour de force

    The first vinyl LP release of a wild 1979 show by Aussie icons Lipstick Killers is almost here - but it won’t last long.

    “Tour De Force”, which was recorded for Adelaide radio station 5UV, captures the band as they were still emerging from the cocoon that was the Psycho Surgeons. The “Nuggets” influences are there, but its the Stooges hangover that dominates proceedings.

    Definitive readings of both sides of the Psycho Surgeons' classic 45 "Wild Weekend" b/w "Horizontal Action" are included, alongside early Killers killers like "Teen Police" and "Sockman" and later faves like "Hindu Gods of Love', "Shakedown USA" and "Dying Boy's Crawl".
