The one and only 7″ by Californias Sudden Fun deserves to be posted for one reason and one reason only: the first track. What the fuck happened after that???? Sudden Fun is totally mind blowing but the other tracks makes me believe they had studio musicians and hired a deaf guy to do the rest of the mix. Dada Revolution IS a good song you can almost here it through the bad mix. Ok, the mix gives you a laugh or two. Sounds like the drums are BEHIND you! It’s true! Listen for yourself. How did they do that and WHY(war, famine and corporate crime)????? You can easily tell I was highly disappointed. Someone needs to reissue this as a one track 7″.
Still having vacation so expect some laziness when it comes to regular posting for another week.

You are right…whoever mixed this was high on LSD. What could have been a great record, otherwise.
Kind of fun tho’, ha, ha!
This was a Berkeley band, originally known as the Liars. I went to their shows and pogoed like crazy in ‘78, like everybody else. Sudden Fun was their best song certainly, but there were others as well. For some unknown reason they changed their name to Sudden Fun in ‘79 when they released this disappointing 7″ and promptly disappeared never to be heard from again.
this EP is great from start to the end…are you sure with your statement?
Thanks for posting this 7″! i did know the first track but not others.
Cheers,
Roger
Thanks “takeovtheenight” for some input.
Yeah, stinky82 it’s only the first track that moves me. The rest is just too bad.
I don’t know why you don’t like the other songs too, Peter. To me, all the tracks are very good (well, the Dada track sucks). And the production is great – totally trippy when you play it with your headphones on.
Hey! I just had a great idea. I was thinking, maybe someone could post a new record?? I think that would be fucking fantastic…what do you think???
I don’t know why, but I’d love it when the next post would be the PANICS mommy 7″.

Thx 4 all the music :) This blog is amazing!!
Haha, another great blog from mongolia.
Dude, “Writing On the Wall” sent shivers down my spine… I have to use it in a movie or some shit. Oh and does anyone know the lyrics to any of these?
What movie? “Squirting on the Wall”?
Ahh, Teenage Public Enemies is great. Love the little guitar solo in the middle.
sure their title-song is the keeper but the 2 out of 3 from the rest are nice in their own way
member John H. lives in Netherlands nowadays, btw
that’s what you get when the band is allowed to mix those three songs. doh!
also, Dan Alexander (who recorded the songs but mixed the first one only) is a very talented pro audio guy.

Teenage Public Enemies definitely has the greatest guitar wank ever! Infuckingcredible!
I am the guitarist on these tracks. I know how to find Derek the drummer, but, can’t find Dennis Kernahan the singer or Mark the bassist…
