Bat Thing - Castration Squad

Words and music Pedro Flores 
I first heard this song while watching the Netflix series, Celia. I became obsessed with it and decided that I had to record it. If Castration Squad performed a bolero, it might sound something like this.

Obsesion

My version of a traditional Spanish Christmas carol, Los Peces en el Rio. The song is quite old and shows some Arabic influence in the structure, which we chose to really emphasize in this version. Lyrics below so you can sing along!  

La Virgen se esta peinando
Entre cortina y cortina
Sus cabellos son de oro
Y el peine de plata fina

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver a Dios nacido
Beben y beben
Y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver a Dios nacer

La Virgen se esta peinando
Entre cortina y cortina
Sus cabellos son de oro
Y el peine de plata fina

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver a Dios nacido
Beben y beben
Y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver a Dios nacer

La Virgen lava pañales 
Y los tiende en el romero
Los pajarillos cantando
Y el romero floreciendo

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver a Dios nacido
Beben y beben
Y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver a Dios nacer

(instrumental break)

La Virgen está lavando
Con un poco de jabon
Se le han picado las manos
Manos de mi corazón

Pero mira como beben
Los peces en el rio
Pero mira como beben
Por ver a Dios nacido
Beben y beben
Y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el rio
Por ver a Dios nacer

Hour Of Truth, a demo recording circa 1983/84 by Cambridge Apostles. Alice Bag, lead vocals and keyboard; Barbara James, backing vocals, (possibly) Margo Reyes on bass and backing vocals, Mike Atta on guitar, Bruce Atta on drums. Cambridge Apostles was a band I joined after Castration Squad splintered.

Hour of Truth

A song with no title that I co-wrote with Gerardo Velasquez and Mikey Ochoa of Nervous Gender for a spin-off group that never materialized, The Imports. This was more of a joke/concept band than anything but this track somehow found its way onto the Nervous Gender/Beelzebub Youth split LP. Thanks to Danny Gromfin and the LAFMS tape traders for digging this up after 30 years.

Free Pussy Riot! Words and music by Alice Bag
 
Balaclavas
Bright colors
These pussies don't purr
They scratch eyes and ruffle fur

A punk prayer
Caused a scare
They're incarcerated
But they're underestimated

Cause all around the world
There are women and girls
Ready to shout
We're tired of being quiet!

All around the world
Women and girls
We want them out!
We stand with Pussy Riot!

Set them free!
Set them free!
Set them free!

Balaclavas
Bright colors
These pussies don't purr
They scratch eyes and ruffle fur.

He said he had to leave
I said "the door's wide open."
I smiled and kept my head up
Left the truth unspoken

There's nothing more to hide
It's bottled up inside
And I'm glad to say
That my pride's unscathed

No sad songs for this Amazon

You'll never hear me cry
"Please stay, I need you"
Cause even if I tried
The words just wouldn't ring true

Its too late, anyway
Cause he's gone far away
And I'm glad to say
That my pride's unscathed

No sad songs for this Amazon

Cause underneath it all
I've got a warrior spirit
When heartache comes around
I'd rather fight than fear it

I come on hard as nails
The armor never fails
And I'm glad to say
That my pride's unscathed

No sad songs for this Amazon.

lyrics and music: Alice Bag
Musicians: Stay at Home Bomb
