Hey Kids,
I'm back with a special treat. Whilst digging through my stacks o' vinyl, I came across this record. It had been sitting around for over a year, waiting to be digimatized for the Blog. I've been in a soul kind of mood for quite a while and after doing some maintenance on the blog I realized how long it's been since I posted anything with loud guitars and snotty vocals! Well my friends, I present to you a Garage Punk band who is trying VERY hard to be Psychedelic and one of the rarest records on the Mainstream label.
I had a very hard time listening to this when I first got it, however I think that was due to the immense assortment and variety of genres I picked up during a VERY successful dig. Listening to it all when you get home can make your mind play tricks like trying to eat an orange after brushing your teeth (this album was the orange....).
Upon further reflection this LP was worth a solid listen. Bohemian Vendetta (also known as the Bohemians) were together from '66 till '69 and this is the only full LP release. I noticed a single on United Artists which was also released on this LP, but I'm not able to get much more info regarding their earlier history. This album is raw. It has tonnes of wailing guitars and tries very hard to be Psyche but you can't help but hear that punk band underneath the marshmallows and lollipops. The first track (listenable above) is by far the most commercial and an instant punk classic really. The rest of the album offers up a couple covers (a tortuous rendition of the Stones Satisfaction and a slightly better version of House Of The Rising Sun) and a compliment of originals which screech and wail to finality.
I wanted to share the entire LP with you since it's better listened to as a whole. You can listen to the first track "Riddles & Fairytales" by clicking play above, or download the whole LP by clicking download!
