Cheap ‘n’ Nasty’s song Covergirl, at #15 of this week’s Uncle Pete radio show in Binghamton, New York state, USA. Thanks!
This podcast from Los Angeles in the USA includes I Am a Photo Model, by Cheap ‘n’ Nasty from the Netherlands at 42:50.
The podcast makers write:
‘You got the gist—punk and punk-adjacent songs featuring horns that one of us three dumdums has to like. …
Regarding Cheap’n’Nasty and their neighbor being unhappy with their sound, I misspoke when I said World War I. It was World War II.
I should have said the neighbor said, “During the war I was a forced laborer in Dresden during the bombing, this noise is worse!”
Dresden wasn’t firebombed in WWI. The WWII firebombing of Dresden was the genesis of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five.’

This live video is Siouxsie and the Banshees playing their song Regal Zone. It is from the LP Join Hands.
A music podcast from Norwood, Ohio in the USA wants to do a review of a Siouxsie and the Banshees album together with ‘a hardcore Banshees fan’.
They chose the vocalist/toy saxophonist of Cheap ‘n’Nasty, who chose the album Join Hands. They sent the code to Zoom with them on Saturday 27 May, which is Siouxsie‘s birthday.

‘I swear I played [Cheap ‘n’ Nasty EP title track] Covergirl at some point in the past’, their DJ Commie Francis writes.
There are plans to play more Cheap ‘n’ Nasty, probably Covergirl, on WFMU radio in Jersey City in October.

Adele Bertei of The Bloods at Toys, the Hague
Here Adele Bertei, 40 years ago singer of the Bloods from the USA, put photos of her. These photos were made in 1981/82 in The Hague by Annelies, band photographer of Cheap ‘n’ Nasty and the Miami Beach Girls. For decades, these photos had just been negatives because of lack of money. Maarten of Cheap ‘n’ Nasty scanned them recently. I sent them to Adele.
5 August is the birthday of Jennifer Finch, bass player of United States punk band L7, ever since the 1980s. They had not been together for a long time, though the hiatus was not as long as for Cheap ‘n’ Nasty, but they reunited a few years ago.
Jennifer Finch is also a photographer. She often photographs audiences after L7 concerts.
Unfortunately, in June 2021 an L7 concert in the Melkweg in Amsterdam had to be cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This 21 July 2021 music video from Epitaph Records in the USA is the new song by the Linda Lindas, called Oh!
