As promised, Henry Rollins played a Bellmer Dolls track last night on his Harmony in My Head show on indie 103.1 in California (I suppose it might have something to do with not being in California). I must say, I wasn't terribly familiar with his show before and was quite into it. Besides the Bellmers, the Fall, Hendrix, the Rondelles (anyone know the Hungry Eye relation there?), Beefheart, and William Bell found their way into the same episode's playlist.
And Y Pants, the Poison Girls, Eddie Cochran, the Minutemen, Eno, the Need, the Pop Group, and Kraftwerk all found their way onto recent shows. I think your friends at Hungry Eye will be checking back to this show often!
He also includes little liner notes-style blurbs on each band in the playlist. Very cool. The Bellmers managed to gleam this one:
"Bellmer Dolls - There Is No Oblivion: From The Big Cats Will Throw Themselves Over EP. I saw this band open for Grinderman the other night and I liked them a lot so after the show I went to the merch booth and bought their CD, that’s what you do! They were cool. I talked to them after the show and they were cool. They told me they will be working with Jim Sclavunos of The Bad Seeds / Grinderman on their album. Looking forward to that. They play some dark stuff and the EP has some interesting twists and turns on it. We will be getting back to this one for sure."
And, yes, we're quite happy as well that "they were cool" appeared twice in the blurb...
