Get Fucked By Fabulous CD UK Punk Glam Rock Manic Street Preachers Supermegabot

Description: 15 TRACKS OF LOST HIGH OCTANE UK GLAM-PUNK-ROCK KILLERS! Born of the same punk revival that launched Manic Street Preachers (their friendly rivals at the time), Fabulous' debut 7" 45, the incendiary "Destined To Be Free" was a 1991 NME single of the week. The press went wld: “Fabulous play the search-and-destroy card like they were reared for the job... Time, dear readers, to get very ugly.” – NME “A little attitude goes several hundred miles these days and you don’t need an Atlas to see where Fabulous are heading.” - London Times “They piss on their mentors with sexy carelessness. Ripcord culture for beautiful people.” – ELLE They were off to the races. Over the next 18 months the band cavorted with superstars, had close encounters with all the record labels, recorded a ton of great songs, got banned from venues all over Britain after causing riots, had the best-selling t-shirt in London (featuring a pornographic image), appeared on TV and eventually burned every bridge and broke up. Fabulous only released three singles in their lifetime, but Supermegabot MC has carefully curated a collection of their official releases, plus 8 more unreleased classics. The press goes wild again! Contemporary reviews of this collection: "Burly, catchy and rocking, would-be anthems “Dead Friends,” “Contribution” and the riotous “Personality Recession” (an early single wisely chosen to lead off the LP) deliver the goods, all fetching power chord progressions, shoutalong choruses and audible sneers." - Big Takeover "...a love letter to an era when punk was actually dangerous and music was exciting." V13 Media "..Get F***ed… carries all the unbridled swagger and unchecked danger that was absent from the post-shoegazer/ecstasy-laced rave trash that dominated the music scene of that time." - Exclusive magazine Brief Two Year History (1991-1993) Involves Kylie Minogue, Pete Wakeman, Oasis, Beastie Boys and Keanu Reeves (stuffed in the trunk of a car!)Few bands' reputations precede them as much as 1990s British band FABULOUS. Much like the Sex Pistols a dozen years before them, Fabulous’ media headlines back then often included the words “Vandals”, “Banned”, and “Riots.” Banned by nearly every venue of their debut UK tour, the band was featured heavily in NME, i-D, The Face, The Wire, Select, and Melody Maker even though they only officially released a mere handful of singles. But before they could release their debut album, the band imploded… and their history became the stuff of UK legend. Boston-based Supermegabot Records is unearthing their 15-track never-before-released album GET F***ED BY FABULOUS to deliver what exactly has been missing in the rock world for the last three decades.Including the original seven single A and B-sides, coupled with loads of unreleased instant-classic anthems by a wildly-overlooked band from an unsung era of rock history, Get F***ed… carries all the unbridled swagger and unchecked danger that was absent from the post-shoegazer/ecstacy-laced rave trash that dominated the music scene of that time. With all the attitude and unrestrained infamy of punk bands before them, Fabulous bearhugged Kylie Minogue, Keanu Reeves, Radiohead and Beastie Boys among many others in their den of iniquity and shook up the sleepy music world. The band’s first lineup featured NME journalist Simon "Spence" Dudfield (singer) and NMEphotographers Martyn Goodacre (guitar) and Russell Underwood (guitar), rounded out by Kieron "Ronnie Fabulous" Flynn (bass) and Robert "Hodge" Hodges (drums). Equally key was the presence of manager Brown who was also NME editor (and future founder of Loaded Magazine) in the role of not exactly a manager, more a sixth member / agent provocateur. Produced by Jon Langford (Mekons), their first single on the iconic Heavenly Records “Destined To Be Free” b/w “There’s A Riot Going On”, was released in November 1991 and it burned up the charts. They were consumed with NME "Single of the Week," television, tours (opening for the Beastie Boys, having a fledgling Radiohead open for them, riots, chaos, and loads of coverage. A seemingly endless party had begun. For the next year, Fabulous went full-on, keeping the rumor mill churning, which in turn drove everyone in the business to chase the band. The following May, KROQ in Los Angeles played the B-side “There’s A Riot Going On” as LA burned after the Rodney King verdict. This attracted the attention of Malcolm McLaren (Sex Pistols’ manager), Keanu Reeves (Neo, John Wick), EMI Records, Hall Or Nothing Management, Andrew Loog-Oldham (Rolling Stones manager, who reactivated his Immediate Records for them), the Beastie Boys (who personally requested the Fabs open their London show), and many others. The stranger-than-fiction stories continued. Pete Waterman (of the massive pop hitmaking production team Stock Aitken Waterman - think Kylie Minogue, Bananarama & Rick Astley) signed the band to his PWL label and promised to release their debut album, titled Produced By Kylie. It was supposed to be “a cross between the Sex Pistols and Kylie Minogue.” The relationship fizzled in a drunken altercation soon after and those recordings remain unreleased. A year and a half after the release of “Destined To Be Free,” they finally got around to releasing new music. Produced by Miles Hunt (The Wonderstuff), “Personality Recession” created a nice boost for the band but did little to return them to their rightful spot at the top of the charts. Their following single “Dead Friends” fizzled too. But it wasn’t because the songs sucked… Their mates Manic Street Preachers debut Generation Terrorists had failed to live up to the band's promises and Nirvana and grunge killed the burgeoning punk revival, sucking all the air out of the room. “We had a lot of attention early on, but deservedly so, because we were probably the most exciting band in the country,” says Simon. “We were the only band saying anything, the only band that had any intelligence, and we just put people’s backs up. Someone said Fabulous were like the KLF with guitars, and we’ve always just wanted to be terrorists; to stick it up the establishment, to stick it up the music industry.”Fabulous broke up with little fanfare merely a year later in 1993. What remained of UK rock was mushed together under the far more mannered Britpop genre.What had Fabulous been about? Were they a brilliant band, a revolt against tedium, an attempt to get rich off media manipulation, the luckiest or unluckiest bastards on the planet?The answer is in the dictionary:fabulous (adj.) fab·u·lous | \ ˈfa-byə-ləs1. fabulous wealth tremendous, stupendous, prodigious, phenomenal, remarkable, exceptional; astounding, amazing, fantastic, breathtaking, staggering, unthinkable, unimaginable, incredible, unbelievable, unheard of, untold, undreamed of, beyond one's wildest dreams; informal mind-boggling, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping.2. informal : we had a fabulous time.
