Bureaucrats LP

I know the cover kind of looks like Nazareth's "Razamanaz", but they were an awesome punk band from Ottawa that started up in 1978. They had at least one ep out. This LP was released posthumously and collected studio recordings with 3 live tracks. The band featured the Sidwell brothers who were from Scotland so the British accent is not a fake. The band broke up in 1981 but did a reunion show in 2001. The release doesn't seem to have a label behind it, so this could have been self-released. Below are the liner notes.

The songs on here are:

1. Grown Up Age

2. The Game

3. Bureaucracy

4. Today & Everyday

5. Frustration

6. Girl of your Dreams

7. Now and Then

8. Feel the Pain

9. She's an American

10. A Question of Sport

11. Passion Bastards

12. You Never Wanted Me

13. as If We Didn't Know

14. Vaccination

15. Killing Ground

Flyer - Saturday April 3, 1999

Flyer - Friday April 2, 1999

Bill Corbett did this show. It was awesome especially given that the show was on good Friday and the title of the show calls into question the myth of christiniaty. Bill would come to do artwork for our ep on Deranged. Chris was able to get Teen Crud on the bill and we driove up together. I remember rocking out to Slayer and realizing that's where Katie ripped the riffs for "I'll Do Anything" from.
