The Life and Times of Bitsy Ramone

I want to tell you a story. I want to tell you about my life or at least the soundtrack to it. Music is the largest part of my life. It's all about discovering and re-discovering music and perhaps a little bit of myself on the way. This will be done through words and videos and reminisces from the past and present. Along with the usual gig reviews and pictures, we shall be interviewing people about their influences too.

Championing... The Bastard Fairies


Take a couple of English guys and have them hook up with a fetish model in LA and you have The Bastard Fairies.
They caused uproar with conservatives in America recently when they posted a video on their website, through YouTube of an eight year old girl, waxing lyrically about war and religion and got themselves some airtime courtesy of Bill O'Reilly, AKA that that bloke who makes me want to wretch. Aside from whether it was right or wrong, their music is great and they got a foot on the ladder and created themselves some exposure.
The difference with this band is (like Mick Jones and Carbon/Silicon) they don't want you to buy their album, they want to give it to you and with a singer that looks like the above, who wouldn't not want to take it from them. They look and sound cute but if you look closely at their lyrics, who sometimes take a Tiger Lillies approach to their songwriting, there are deeper darker climbs hidden away to be discovered.
Visit their MySpace for videos and stuff but more importantly, go to their webbosite and download their album for FREE!
This is their video for their song, Apple Pie:
