Another lp in the ue archival series, ze barbies didnt release anything during their very short excistance. They only played for about 6 months in 1981. the band was formed in and around legendary punk bars/basements in Antwerp/Belgium such as Cinderella's ballroom, De Clown's etc. in a time where punx played tom and jerry with the local police almost non stop!
While most bands from around here played straight forward punk, Ze Barbies played in a sloppier non music/no wave style, mainly thanx to the wasp synth blasts that interrupt the double delayed female vocals, most probably influenced by their friends " DE BRASSERS" from hamont! The (unfindable) drummer for Ze Barbies also played in NOISE BOYS 906 and Marleen (one of the singers) was very active at the time with her fanzine "de ontgoochelde frigo",and as a dj at radio centraal and at cinderella's ballroom, Antwerp's most legendary glam/punk/transvestite heaven. i'm way too young for all this crap and you are probably too!
This lp comes in a full colour silkscreened sleeve full of insane photos from the members' archive + an insert! it's limited to 200 copies.
