So, in '97 whilst doin' a Media Studies degree in the 'Naki , we went to see Loves Ugly Children in the Cotton Club. I thought the SUCK e.p. was the most amazing thing.With Floss in pvc on the cover it helped paint a picture of some super cool scene I wanted to hear more of. From memory it was a downstairs big open room with a bar, and below ya average NZ city pub, complete with pub cover bands etc.. The turn out I think was piss poor, (but not as poor as Superette at the Mill.. Taranaki=useless!) but I had a recording walkman at the time and so grabbing a Skinny Puppy tape I recorded this....

It's all one track, with a bit of normalising and noise reduction, but I think it's alright. I recently met Simon and gave a copy to him, The first track "LILO " was apparently written after "Showered in Gold" and thus not recorded before they split, score, and it rips!
Loves Ugly .. well.. Simon is working on a double cd retrospective/live/outakes/demo,s etc at the moment, so totally looking forward to that. \m/
Yes - my recording Walkman, if I recall........
