SURFERS ARE BACK! … IN A WAY.
The year is 1978, and in a London laden with
post-punk pap one band alone shows the way to a better life. Yes,
The Barracudas, whose lone hit "Summer Fun" soon graces
numerous compilations on a, uh, summer theme. The Barracudas,
garage punk prophets whose poaching of a genuine Flamin’
Groovie marks them as the voice of stylish Continental Sixties-fixated
anoraks on a broad and sweeping scale. Well, the year is now 2003,
apparently, and to celebrate their 25th anniversary The Barracudas
have reformed to play a few exclusive shows, commencing on November
19th with one at London’s Troubador. Now comes the crowning
glory! In two parts. Part one consisting on a brand new, limited-edition
seven-inch single for Munster Records, comprising The Barracudas
debut glam turn, "Don’t Ever Say It Can’t Be
So", and a classic ‘cudas B-side, "Not That Kind".
Part two, meanwhile, is none other than a collectors’ edition
re-release on genuine plastic of The Barracudas first release,
"I Want My Woody Back".
