BEATFOR96 - August Singles Weekender III


James Gascoigne, Kip Phillips, Tom Oconnell and Kip Phillips grew up together in Bellevue – Washington, formed The Queen Annes in 1980 dissatisfied with punk rock. But this single oozes punk and rock, great drums beat, harmonicas and guitars and guitars. Their only vinyl release recorded at Triangle Studios -Seattle- under the watchful eye of engineer Peter Barnes. They also released one other track on vinyl on Green Money's "Monkey Business" compilation in 1985. The band disappear, to reform in 1994 and release two albums for his own reformed independent label, Q. and A. Records.

The Queen Annes - I Thought Of You / This Is That [7" Queen Annes Records 1983]

Xdreamysts, Northern Irish band, with great musicians, mixing flanger guitars with Costello gimmicks and so much adrenalin, and as result of that everybody love them : powerpopers, punks, nwobhm’s. I love the b side, 1.58 minutes of fuel for the fire. Released three eps and a recommend album in 1980.

Xdreamysts - Right Away Home / Dance Away Love [7" Good Vibrations Records 1978].
