Beats me why I haven’t posted the Nuns debut until now. The site is called Killed By Death Records and this is included on the first vol of the KBD series. The Nuns released a couple of good 7inches but to me the highlight is their LP. It was literally every where in the beginning of the 80s. Every decent cut out bin had a Nuns LP for a dollar or two. The 2 song a-side is stellar but the b-side makes me want to carve my arms and jump of a roof. Nuns is familiar to most of you and there’s loads of info to be found. I leave it up to you to google it you lazy jews.

The Nuns – ST E.P. 7″.
One of my faves man.
Hahaha, this was next in my line too! Killer record, though I’d like to know the lyrics of “Decadent Jew” ……
Hey…its the Nuns!!!
There are a coupla live boots floating around and one of them has the full show from the same gig as this 45.
I’m all confused on the other 45, is it Los Nuns? Is that the one that has the killer studio versions of Media Control & Walkin’ the Beat? I never quite figured that out.
I love the LP, one of the best productions that Posh Boy pulled off. And that was recorded after they broke up!
The LP is great and I plan to post it soon as I can rip it.
Cheers!
One more thing, there is at least one more good Nuns lp, the other Posh Boy lp, Four Days in a Hotel Room which has some great stuff like “Elvis Said” and even better “Do You Want Me On Your Knees?”. One of the Nuns was brothers with one of the Zeros, but you all know that, right?
Alejandro Escovedo played with them and then Rank and File with those Dils brothers…
Looking forward to the LP rip hdvns!
I think that officially their 2nd album was called “Rumania” from 1986.
Wihtout digging it out to look, I think it’s on PVC?
It’s brilliant!!
If you like their first LP, you’ll love this!!!
The first LP is ripped and ready for your listening pleasure, cheers!
the nazis
gassed me
burnt me too
stared at me

’cause i’m a
DECADENT JEW!!
great song
[...] lead singer of the band was a guy named Javier Escovedo. His brother Alejandro was in The Nuns up in San Francisco so there was a lot of musical cross-pollination with these guys all up and down [...]
lead GUITARIST was Javier Escovedo. Singers were Detrick and Oleaner, if I remember correctly
HEY U FUKR! i already did, over at the 7inchpunk.com! i don’t mind, i’m too lazy. thanks for posting again, the best west-coast record i think. also i didn’t know the JEW lyrics, thanks Panek, now i can be one.
OH FUCKYEAH I LOVE THE NUNS!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH
This 7″ rules. The first Nuns LP (especially side B) is the best shit ever. Don’t be afraid of the Blondie-esque cover.
