Vinyl Finds: Boojwah Kids - Med Beat! e.p., 1980

My vinyl-rip posts of late have been—to say the least—leaning esoteric, so here's something with a backbeat for all you rockers in the room...sort of.

Boojwah Kids were a Captain Beefheart-influenced band from Stockholm, with a scrappy post-punk sound falling somewhere near the intersection of Rustic Hinge and early Scritti Politti.  This e.p. represents perhaps their most well-known release outside of Sweden, though the full-length LP that followed it, Till Skydd För Minnet (1981), is also excellent.

Nowadays, Boojwah Kids' bandleader Ralf Nygård plays with Michael Maksymenko of Kräldjursanstalten (the other Beefheart-obsessed band from 1980s Sweden) in a new project called The Reference Group.  Boojwah Kid Olle Stockman is still rocking postmodern in the band Tow Truck Two.
