And now they're back again with a brand new single. It's a yearning to be let go from a shitty job, a feeling I think we've all had when we need work to pay the bills but we'd really rather be doing something better instead.
They're from Belgium, they've been together since 2003 and I always pronounce their name wrong when I play them on the show (apologies for that). I even made the same mistake on this week's show even though they pronounced it themselves at the end of the song I was playing!
To demonstrate how strong the album is, I'm highlighting one of the non singles. This is Water Balloons To A Knife Fight...
Brought a water balloon to a knife fight Guess I showed up the wrong night The atmosphere was cooler when I was here in daylight The wrong place at the wrong time The story of my dumb life Might be better to stay home to make sure that I survive Brought a laser pen to a mud-catch How long before they get mad And throw me out of this place So I miss out the big match Why can’t I behave like I should Fuck it, I wouldn’t if I could I’m kind of a wannabe bad boy Too good to be up to no good There’s this difference between what I do and I say It’s something I can’t help, happens every other day But if I say tomorrow I will fuck things up You bet I’ll fuck shit up Brought my new girlfriend to the punk show Good idea? I don’t think so Shoved her in the pogo pit And now her ribs are so sore She said that I’m abnormal I thought she meant adorable Either way, it’s fine, she’s probably right but I don’t mind And in the morning I feel quite alright Start to think about what I did last night Should I feel sorry, should I be ashamed Forget it, I won’t have it I’m feeling great today Too good to be up to no good Too bad, I’m better than all that
"It’s raining shit and I’m not wearing rubber boots today. Nothing ever goes my way....."
The Priceduifkes are a hard hitting pop punk band from Belgium (Nijlen/Herenthout/Grobbendonk) who's name translates roughly into English as small prize pigeons and who've been releasing music for over a decade. The current line up features Cowboy Mambo (guitar), Ricky D (vocals/bass), V.S. (drums) and Tony Crackup (guitar).
Last month they released their new album, Goathorse. You can pick it up from Monster Zero (Europe), Rad Girlfriend Records (US) and Bearded Punk Records Belgium. If you want the digital version, you can find it here : https://thepriceduifkes.bandcamp.com/
There was once a Spice Girl (Shitty Spice or something) who recorded a goddamn terrible cover of a pretty awful 80's smash hit. You may recognise her in the video that's posted below. At least this time around her crap dancing has a decent backing track!
