(Photos above by Tony Zimnoch)



Duet of 'No No No' by Clea Rose and Gu Yinji.
Go here & here to see the extraordinary mask changing.
Got to be seen to be believed!

Reviews here.
I suspect that this will be in my top 3 CD's of the year come December.
Always been a Wobble fan but this is just superb.

Happy Birthday Mum

The worst thing is that I have absolutely no idea how old my Mum would have been.
Going to have to get in touch with Births, Deaths & Marriages in the UK I think.

You can get the 'Rosa Yemen' (L.M.D. - vocals & guitar and JD Barnes - guitar) EP which came out on ZE Records in 1979 here.
This was one of my favourite releases in the first wave of ZE 12" which included James Chance, Mars and DNA.
