Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Ceci Moss <ceci_moss AT yahoo.com>]

Holy shit. This is the most exciting thing I've heard about for awhile. AND a blackouts reissue. Fuck. I'm going to run into the streets with glee now.

We at K recently released an album (on both LP and CD) by the
Beakers
called
Four Steps Toward a Cultural Revolution (KLP163).

The Beakers were a Seattle band that existed from Jan. 1980 to Jan.
1981.
They played a few shows with Gang of Four and were hailed as one of
their
favorite American bands; The Beakers also played shows with DNA,
Delta
5 and
other NW bands like Blackouts. The Beakers released one single and
had
songs
on two NW compilations. Most of Four Steps Toward a Cultural
Revolution
had
not been previously available, plus live recordings.

The liner notes include testamonials from Jon King of Gang of Four,
Roz
Allen of Delta 5, Kim from Soundgarden and others.
They were one of my fave bands of the time and really of forever.

There is a section of the K website devoted to all the writings about
Beakers, Blackouts and Mr. Brown records from the Sub/Pop fanzine,
1980-83:

We also released an album by another band from that time, Blackouts,
History
in Reverse (KLP164).
