BUSH TETRAS

TERRY MALTS + SWAHILI BLONDE

BUSH TETRAS returns to the stage in Los Angeles for the first time since 1981! (After having to postpone their appearance in November due to Hurricane Sandy...) One of the most important bands to surface from New York's Lower East Side music scene in the 1980s, the Bush Tetras were pioneers of the indie movement before the term existed. Their first single, “Too Many Creeps”, released on 99 Records, a label record store owner Ed Bahlman ran out of his Manhattan shop, sold 30,00 copies, putting it on Billboard's dance chart. A follow-up single, “Can't Be Funky”, charted as well. (“Can't Be Funky” was featured in the film Basquiat). The Bush Tetras' reputation also grew through legendary live performances highlighting their gritty blend of garage punk and African rhythms. FOR REAL THIS TIME!!!Listen to THE BUSH TETRAS:One of Slumberland's best-ever signings, TERRY MALTS, have been putting the finishing touches on what promises to be one of the best LPs of 2013. [Their debut LP on SLR making PTP's top 5 LPs of last year, btw.] Their recordings are The Ramones meets Psychocandy-era Jesus And Mary Chain. And if you caught the band when they played PTP last spring, you'll know they're even more blistering live. Fun night fun night fun night fun night!!! [NOTE: Terry Malts will be playing LAST tonite!]Listen to TERRY MALTS:SWAHILI BLONDE return to PTP after an all-too long absence with a lovely new record nearly done...many of the tracks you'll hear unveiled tonite! Just visualize The Slits, Maximum Joy, Antenna & Fela Kuti & The Africa 70 making love and war and you'd be halfway there.Listen to SWAHILI BLONDE:
