PENELOPE HOUSTON AND THE BIRD BOYS

 


Another recording that (likely) came before the 1988 release of Birdboys. Like the session posted last year, this features songs that would appear on that game changing LP and is a brilliant early glimpse into a group led by one of the most iconic figures in early SF punk. It's a beautiful and grounding collection of songs...and remember that this was recorded less than a decade after AVENGERS played the final SEX PISTOLS gig. Also worth noting that the opener "Harry Dean" rips the lead from "Knife's Edge" off of AVENGERS guitarist Greg Ingraham's never-really-released solo demo from 1984.
