I Want A Watch Children Reunion!

Hey, Hey It's The Watch Children!
These paisley frocked weirdos were legendary in the 80s/90s Jersey Shore music scene. ( I must mention that "the scene" consisted of a couple of good bands floating on a toxic broth of irate hardcore boneheads and Bruce Springsteen teat lappers, so anything that was even slightly left of center was like manna from heaven for a jaded music lover like myself.) And like most fantabulous ideas, (Vanilla Coke, for one) they were around for too short of a time and then they were gone. Poof! Just like that. Check out one of my faves from their horribly/beautifully produced cassette. I humbly offer up the super genius candy psych monster, "Coconut Lifesaver". Listen as head Head Marc Saxton channels Space Oddity era Bowie and runs the whole sugary mess through Stacey Sutherland's Echoplex. These suburban punks were hot shit! Their lone "official" release, "How Does it Feel To Be So White?" is right up there with Easter Everywhere and Psychic Powerless Another Man's Sac in my own personal Drug Punk Valhalla. The Saxton tracks are creepy and out of whack, while the Martin Splichal songs are caveman-ish and troubling. Lennon & McWhatshisname aint got nothin' on these trouble makers!
Go ahead and Google the band name and cassette title, make a few illicit clicks here and there and dive into the poison lagoon.
Up next; The Laughing Soupdish, Ripping Corpse and Cold Beer!
