A 5 song 7” ep packaged with a small booklet. Released jointly in 1992 by Tulpa and Charlie Krich’s Vandal Children record label. dawn sang and played the guitars and bass. Joe played drums. Paul Vondra wrote the words used in the song “Tompkins Square,” and the lyrics for the title track were taken from a Curbstone Press collection. Teresa de Jesús is the pseudonym of an anonymous Chilean poet whose poems were smuggled out of the country and testify to the aftermath of the 1973 coup. The poet’s chosen name refers to the first Chilean Saint. The lyrics to Me da una Rabia were sung in Spanish. An English translation was printed in the booklet.
Judging from the accompanying booklet to this 7”, it appears that Bimbo Shrineheads is one poet, with a drummer, setting her thoughts to music. This does not appear to be a good idea. These poems do hit a realistic response down the spine, I just wish Bimbo Shrineheads wouldn’t play music behind them because, well, it’s just plain bad. Remember, sometimes words do speak louder than actions. - Review of the Bimbo Shrineheads’ Me da una Rabia! record in The Noise Magazine
Nice ragged noise-control (like an older 3D’s), unfortunately the inane lyrics place the whole thing under serious fluke suspicion. It’s hard to imagine the burning guitar in “Roadkill” could be a mistake, but it’s also hard to imagine someone taking seriously lines like “While the poor wait/In hunger and pain/The life of the rich goes by/and it makes me furious.” Gosh, I feel awful too, but that doesn’t make me an artist; too bad these dorks couldn’t respect their pretty amazingly non-cliched music enough to keep it miles away from the drivel on top. Errors in judgment are the worst kind, and these guys couldn’t pay to be my friends. - Review of the Bimbo Shrineheads’ Me da una Rabia! record in Crank.
