OUT THIS
WEEK! It's the NEW live LP by The Snivelling
Shits!
It's out
on Friday 15th April, a bank holiday no less. We'll be shipping to UK
customers to hopefully arrive on Thursday.
You can pre-order from us
now or you can also get it direct from all good record shops and mail
orders.
**Please
note - this LP is pressed on random coloured
vinyl, every copy may be different, we've opened a few and got six different
colours.
The albums
are sealed so we have no idea what colour
each one is. If ordering multiple copies drop us a line and if you're OK
with us breaking the seal we can try and make sure you get different colours.**
Also we have
some fake banknote flyers leftover from these actual Snivelling Shits gigs and
some really old stickers from the original release of 'I Can't Come'
back in 1989.
We'll be
putting these in with pre-orders while they last.
A limited-edition colour vinyl LP put together by
original founding member Pete Makowski and us at Damaged Goods to celebrate the
reunion gigs by The Snivelling Shits in late 2018 and 2019.
The original Snivelling Shits album I
Can’t Come was released on Damaged Goods back in 1989 with original
frontman Giovanni Dadamo supplying the tapes and helping with the artwork.
Pete Makowski & Dave Fudger - Pelton Arms
2019
We started to get to know the other two original
Shits, Pete Makowski and Dave Fudger in the 2010’s and Pete was very keen
to “get the old band back together” as they say…so they
commandeered Tom Crossley on vocals, he was in Giovanni’s second band,
Famous Monsters after the original Shits imploded so he was a perfect
replacement, another good friend of Pete’s was James Sherry (of Done Lying
Down / Toast / Desperate Measures) who took over the drums, and firstly Richard
Leeds from Du Bellows and later Moyni from Tom’s current band The Phobics
on bass duties.
After a few rehearsals they did a low-key warm-up
gig billed as Arthur Comix, then their first proper gig at the Damaged Goods
30th anniversary gigs at The Lexington on the 15th December 2018 supporting
Johnny Moped, swiftly followed by another gig at The Pelton Arms in Greenwich on
the 16th February 2019. Both gigs were recorded by Lee McFadden and sounded
great, so Pete suggested making a live album up to “celebrate” the
events.
The Shits went on to play a gloriously unhinged
and chaotic set in front of a huge crowd at the Opera House at the Rebellion
Punk Festival in Blackpool in August 2019. That was the last gig as soon after
the pandemic hit and very sadly and tragically, Pete Makowski died in late
2021.
We’re really proud to have this coming out,
albeit a lot later than planned due to the vinyl shortages. It’s a fitting
tribute to Pete (who oversaw the artwork and tapes) and the band’s amazing
comeback gigs. It also includes two demos from the original line-up that
appeared as a very limited 7" (DAMGOOD520) for sale at the Rebellion Festival show in
2019, which sold out and is already a sought-after collector’s item!
Pete would only let us release it if it was on
brown vinyl…However due to vinyl shortages, brown vinyl was scarce so it
ended up on a rainbow of colours!
When the shits hit the fans, one could say. We
think Pete would approve.
Dedicated to Pete Makowsi 1956-2021 and
very much missed by us all. R.I.P.
