WEEKEND DOUBLE-DOSE, PART I !
From the 1981 7" Release the Bats.
Easily the best of the Australian post-punk scene, and by far the most influential, The Birthday Barty's wild Stooges-meets-no-wave sound was a force to be reckoned with. Nick Cave certainly was a dark and powerful character later on with The Bad Seeds, but with The Birthday Party, he was a fucking animal. They definitely knew what they were doing, but that didn't stop everything from sounding like it was on the verge of totally falling apart. Utterly visceral stuff.
Part II coming later; as I'm barely awake right now...
