Lipstick Killers- Tour De Force Live In Adelaide 1979
Sydney's Lipstick Killers released just one single in their lifetime-the perfect '79 pairing of "Hindu Gods of Love" and "Shakedown USA", released on both their own Lost in Space Records and Greg Shaw's Voxx Records and produced by Deniz Tek of the band's heroes Radio Birdman-but a posthumous live album and a couple of archival releases followed. It was all incredible. And it was all put together a few years ago on Grown Up Wrong!'s 2xCD set Strange Flash! And while the 2xLP version of that release included all the studio stuff and the live in LA 1981 set, there was no room for this brain-burning, chaotic live set from '79. Tour de Force, which was recorded for local radio station 5UV, captures the band as they were still emerging from the cocoon that was the Psycho Surgeons. The Nuggets influences are there, but it's a Stooges influences which dominate proceedings, and definitive readings of both sides of the Psycho Surgeons classic 45 "Wild Weekend"/"Horizontal Action" are included alongside early Killers killers like "Teen Police" and "Sockman" and later faves like "Hindu Gods of Love', "Shakedown USA" and "Dying Boy's Crawl". The band's hot take on the Thirteenth Floor Elevators' "I've Got Levitation" is also featured. There's also plenty of tunes that were only ever captured on tape on this wild night, including "Human Crash", "Crush On You", "Head Off" and "Bully"!
