The Mexican Spitfires - Lupe Velez (Mini-Album)
Their only release!! Jangly guitars with an acoustic twist. After this mini LP they went into the studio but ground to a halt. Enough tracks were collected for an EP which was to be titled 'Elephant' - but it's never been released. Now, that may not be correct (officially) - maybe it snuck out. Would love to hear from anyone who has this or any other output.
Hi Mr W & W, you seem to be putting all your efforts into the Weird & Whacky site but please don't forget the other two sites you've started, I love hearing/reading about old Australian acts and louder punk stuff too. Thanks!
I think I've over-extended here. All my problems are really about UP-LOADING!!! Still on ADSL1 here at my end of the line. Can you believe that. It'll all happen though. I've got enough stuff here for all 3 blogs to fill out the next 20 years. Scary.
I have got some great stuff from your blog, so thanks, some I've known of the artists and some I took your recommendations. I love the name 'The Books' & 'The Brains' (may have heard of them?). As for power pop. I love Pearl Harbo(u)r & Explosions, and an Aussie band called The Dukes, I have a single (they covered Lou Reed), but I think they may have had an LP? I am old fashioned and still like to buy CD's, (although I still have vinyl), so if I see any of the stuff on your blog I like, I will buy, it's fair to the artist too. So thanks again and I will keep checking out your site for stuff I may like or have never heard.
Really digging this too - I want more
ReplyDeletePretty sure there isn't anything else. The EP 'Elephant' was to be an album but it was all abandoned. But, I bet it's out there somewhere.
