...as played by the DJ between sets at the recent Blurt/Lydia Lunch/Faust show in Southwark car park.

2 things I recall:

1. Some kind of oscillating electronics throughout

2. The song mentioned 'veneral disease' and towards the end, repeated the line 'Don't try to kill yourself'

They Must Be Russians...Don't Try To Cure Yourself

From Sheffield, friends with Cabaret Voltaire, connections to Clock DVA. One other 7" I know of, then some later stuff, like a 12" I have that I think is the same band.

totally. I love the b-side, the Truth about Kanga Pants. This one was produced by the Cabs, the earlier single which is cool, but pretty dour, I think was recorded at Western Works.

I wonder how they licensed that.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 5 November 2008 17:45 (seventeen years ago)

they didn't.
