SHINJUKU THIEF: Bloody Tourist; CD (Extreme) 1992
$25.00
Experimental, World Music, Ambient, Industrial, Australia, Extreme; CD – Ex Used condition
Formed in Australia, 1992 – the (then) three members, Darrin Verhagen, Charles and François Tétaz seeing the band as a vehicle for pursuing their musical interests. Their debut CD Bloody Tourist reflected this range, traversing ambient, ethnic, rock, funk and industrial styles. Seen by some critics as a swipe against the tasteful world music fad gripping the chill out rooms and tofu burger bars, Bloody Tourist set the blueprint for the band’s lack of preciousness regarding genre “swing and mesh”. Released on legendary “Extreme’ Label, this release also features David Brown (Candlesnuffer).
