Ramases Montage

South African Indie melodic grunge-rockers Black Eyed Susan recorded the album ‘Back Stabbers & Money Grabbers’ in January 1998 and released it in May 1998. Included on their album is an uptempo remake of this classic ‘Cold Fact’ song. Not actually written by Rodriguez, this song of urban decay and loneliness fits perfectly on Black Eyed Susan’s album of otherwise original material. A great version on an even greater album. If you like your rock modern-but-retro, grungy-yet-tuneful, this album is for you.

The son of a church organist father and pianist mother, South African born Brian Currin grew up surrounded by music. In his pre-teen years he realised that he had no real talent for playing music and he couldn’t sing, so he immersed himself in the world of music by listening, exploring and researching. Which he still does today.

He served in the military from 1977 to 1981 and then spent many years in corporate sales and marketing until his involvement in the re-discovery of Rodriguez, opened up a whole new world for him.

He was the Content Editor for Rhythm Online, South Africa’s first online music store, from 2006 to 2012.

He ran Mabu Vinyl, the iconic music store seen in the Oscar-winning “Searching For Sugar Man” film from 2013 to 2019.

His voice could be heard on the streaming radio station All Jazz Radio where he hosted the Vagabond Show from 2012 to 2019.

He is very involved in promoting South African music, and is the co-owner of a number of music-related websites including The South African Rock Encyclopedia which he founded in 1999.

He has two sons with whom he is well-pleased.
