The Child Molesters - Hillside Strangler 7″
July 1st, 2006 at 2:29 am
Too bad one of the coolest song titles of 1978 “Don’t Worry Kyoko(mummy’s only looking for her hand in the snow)” have to be 5:24 and totaly pointless. What a waste! But the a-side is a rather decent classic. My copy is from the 20th anniversary release from 1998 and includes a nice booklet with hilarious photos of the band posing with young girls, Farren the guitarist fully dressed up in a nazi uniform and more tastelesness. Everything to shock and to be as punk as possible. Love it or hate it. I’m in the middle. Here’s madman Farren Forceps webiste: A child molester.

Great song, easily the best thing they ever done. Yeah the b-side (a Yoko Ono cover) is pretty lame.

Their other singles are better. “I Wanna See Some Wholesale Murder”, “13 is my lucky number” and “I Wanna Punch You in the Face” are awesome.

these guys are great. members still play in the L.A. area under the name “mystery band” although i think they stopped playing “13 is my lucky number” a long time ago…

B-Side is a Yoko Ono tune. Was the B-side to John Lennon’s ‘Cold Turkey’, released in 1969. Even cooler title for that time period!!!

Drew Steele gave me a couple of your singles years ago and I dig your music.

Well, you’ll hear alot of stories and speculation
about this less than thrilling teen combo, but here at Ace & Duce Records we can answer any and all questions about this ill fated rock and roll ensemble. We also still have some copies left of the 20th Anniversary Bootleg Edition of the Hillside Strangler available for sale. All our records are long out of print now (the Sympathy For The Record Industry titles were deleted in 2002). We may reissue the catalog at some later date, but no such plans are underway at present. You can write to Ace & Duce Records (P.O. Box 691, South Pasadena, CA 91031-0691) or through the website http://www.acefarrenford.com. Thanks for keeping our sordid past alive.

This band was never more than a footnote to the 1977 L.A. scene and I was amazed when the original single became the most sought after California single in the late 1980’s.
