Yet another Flying Nun band from Dunedin on this blog... and I won't apologise about that at all. 'Look Blue Go Purple' were together between 1983 and 1987. They released three EPs and all three were compiled on the album 'Compilation' in 1991. A lot of those tracks may now be distant memories but two of them were up there with the very best the 'Dunedin Sound' had to offer... and that is saying something. The two songs are "I Don't Want You Anyway" and "Cactus Cat." They bring out all their 60's influences on "Cactus Cat" and at the same time, epitomize the 'Flying Nun' label.
So funny Bryan - we've been playing this song on the ukes for a couple of years now! Never managed to hear the original, thanks for that! : )
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know the ukulele groups are playing such cool songs. I hope the original lived up to your expectations?
