The Cheap Nasties...found!

This news is 6 months old, but I just discovered it! Late last year a tape has surfaced of often name checked Perth punk band The Cheap Nasties. The Cheap Nasties had Kim Salmon before he formed the Scientists with James Baker as well as two other members who formed the Manikins. The Cheap Nasties existed for about 18 months in 1976 and 1977. Until now any recordings were though to be lost. Typical 77 punk sounding and at least it's not Radio Birdman!

Kim has posted 3 tracks on his myspace.

The tracks are Cheap And Nasty, You Rip Me Up & Vegetation.

Further information on The Cheap Nasties and the Perth scene at the time can be found in the blog part of Kim's Myspace blog
and also www.perthpunk.com

Kim mentions on his blog that they may try and officially release the tape soon.
