Satanic Togas - Tits On The Beach



  Well, I've a couple of things to say today.

 Firstly, it seems as though peaches aren't the only things you might happen upon whilst strolling on the beaches. 

  And secondly, WOW! What a great compilation of cover versions GTRRRC 3 is. The previous comp (https://geeteeband.bandcamp.com/album/g-t-r-r-c-ii) knocked it out of the park with 20 killer lo-fi reinterpretations of classic (and not so classic) songs. This latest instalment takes things to the next level with a mammoth 46 songs. The tracklist is pretty damn awesome. Haven't you always wanted to hear Buck Biloxi covering Joy Division? How about Nick Normal doing Poison Idea? Aussie rock giants C.O.F.F.I.N. blitzing their way through Funkadelic's Super Stupid? The songs are scrappy as hell and all the better for it, the cast list is a who's who of the lo-fi/garage punk scene, the album is essential listening. What's more, you can find it as a name your price download here :  https://geeteeband.bandcamp.com/album/g-t-r-r-c-iii


  
  If you want the double 12" vinyl (slime green or white) then check out either Legless Records (https://leglessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/gtrrc3) or if you're in the US or Europe/UK keep an eye on Under The Gun and Erste Theke Tontraeger as they'll be getting it in a couple of months. 

  It seems a bit lazy choosing the opening track to highlight but boy, it's a brilliantly trashy take on a song I was previously unfamiliar with. Originally recorded by early 80's Canadian band Rude Norton (who weren't around for long but who's line up included members of The Subhumans, The Pointed Sticks and D.O.A.), this version is by Satanic Togas (https://www.facebook.com/thesatanictogas666). It's titled Tits On The Beach...
