The Modern-ettes
Gone…but Not Forgotten
Genre: Garage
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Suicide Club
This is a terrible sounding record. The mix is off on everything. It sounds like it was transferred to cassette and that cassettes was run over by a Caterpillar tractor in Omaha, buried in the field, unearthed after a frosty winter, dried off and then put in a cassette-to-cassette recorder and became the source for what the ultimate product was that ended up on Spotify.
Or it was recorded badly and live.
Okay. I just looked up this record.
It was recorded live and only 300 were pressed.
Good for these guys (and good on the Listening Post crack research team for finding it!).
I really wish it was better but the songs aren’t catchy or interesting. They would fit on a double bill with The Rats. Did they go into an actual studio to record “Suicide Club” & “Barbra”? Those give a bit of a picture of what they might have sounded like if they had a record deal.
