Hey there everybody. Got back last night from a week at the beach, during which I apparently forgot about the internet. It was great. Here's a record that I put on during one late-night porch hang. Skunk is a puzzlingly great fusion of old-school ska and new wave, straight outta the Netherlands. Taps so effectively into the nervous energy at the core of both genres that you often can't really tell where one ends and the next begins. Then they throw in a lil' dub for good measure.
Track listing:
1. Sinds 1 Dag of 2
2. Te Laat
3. Bella Donna
4. Smoorverliefd
5. Nederweit
6. Nix voor Jou
7. Mis
8. Ruma Saja
9. De Laatse X
10. Dansen met Alice
Some girls

ReplyDeleteThey were hugely popular in Holland and Belgium in the 80s (even teen-idols, I would say). Several reunions until few years ago. Great musicians with lots of experience. Lots of lyrics related to weed (Nederwiet = extra strong Dutch weed). Smoke'm if you got'm.
ReplyDeleteYeah, girls from my high school passed out during their show. I hated them, being a metalhead and all.....Still do actually
