A veritable samplitude of sounds recorded here at First Avenue Studios by Dave Curle over the years.  Something for everyone - how very strange!

An unusual band active in London between 1992 and 1997.

An important note on the recordings: please play on headphones or hi-fi stereo speakers at a significant volume to approximate the initial intention, never through tiny tinny computer speakers or similar built-in audio of a mobile device.

Initial postings will be to cover all put put compilation pieces.

EST's ten favourite live gigs of 1994 ...

The Blue Humans / Put Put (Disobey, London, July) The Blue Humans are much as expected: all-out free jazz twin-drum-one-guitar assault (although they prove to be considerably better two days later in the tiny, cramped Rough Trade Shop). Put Put, however, steal the show with their relentless trance-rock, a rawer, more stripped down version of everything Faust, Can and This Heat ever attempted.

VITAL, The Netherlands...

"Put Put's unabashed hi-octane jets of air stress the gaskets, slice like invisible knives".



The Lysergics are a British-Italian psychedelic rock band, based around the London duo Fabio Mongelli (guitar and vocals) & Sarah Gonputh (organ and vocals).

The Lysergics' debut album, recorded at Sausage Studio and produced by Sebastian Kellig is available from Clostridium Records, vinyl version or for digital download at https://thelysergics.bandcamp.com/releases.
