Amidst all of the Robyn Hitchcock madness you could ask for, here’s the Cheepskates’ Confessional, courtesy of TWILIGHT ZONE!.
From what I’ve been led to understand, Confessional is gone… all of the copies that were manufactured are out of the hands of Music Maniac, so if you ultimately want to buy it you might not want to wait a whole lot longer.
Now if someone could just post the Perry Como and Residents eps… I haven’t heard them in a while!
Wow! Ask and ye shall receive… the ever-reliable folks over at Power Pop Criminals have posted the above-mentioned eps. I’ve got a real soft spot in my heart for these recordings. They’re kinda odd and very fun. The Cheepskates may have played one of the Residents songs live a time or two, but we played “Catch A Falling Star” and “Round And Round” all the time at our shows and I still have them ready to play now, I just don’t perform often enough to dig that deep into the songs I know.
At any rate, get ‘em and take them for what they are – fun recordings by a band that loved any excuse to get into the studio.
When it rains… The Garage Punk Hideout has a live Cheepskates clip with go-go dancers. Probably in cha-cha heels, but I can’t say for sure.
