Angie Pepper – Frozen World / Why Tell Me

I’ve written about Angie Pepper before here. She’s one of my favourite Oz singers.

We stopped by Lenny’s on the way home from Ikea. It’s like an Ikea cleanse haha. Just as we finished talking I was about to leave when I spotted this on the shelf. Winning. I have wanted this for some time. It’s a shame that there isn’t more Angie Pepper / Passengers material nor the recognition.

Angie Pepper / The Passengers - It's Just That I Miss You 

One of my favourite Australian Punk / Garage singers / bands from the late 70s through to the early 80s. Think Patti Smith, Blondie and 60s girl group sounds.

Listened to this whilst eating a cookie monster cupcake my neighbour's son made us as a thank you for being good neighbours and returning their balls from over the fence. Day made honestly. 

This is a collection of tracks from the Gadigal /Sydney band The Passengers and later band The Angie Pepper Band formed with her husband and famed Radio Birdman co-founder Deniz Tek. Both bands were short lived and their material is limited. They are often overlooked in Australian music retrospectives from that era. When I think of record store day and the spirit of represses for the day, I think albums like this ought to be repressed. Not some shitty motorhead lost tapes volume 6 live in the 90s... 

I first discovered Angie Pepper on the cult Australian "Do the Pop" garage/punk compilation from 2002. It was my first year at uni and I was heavily into that stuff at the time. Angie's voice is incredible. The hooks on these tracks are chef's kiss. Face With No Name is one of my all-time favourite tracks. I found a 45 in the wild at a record fair couple of years ago. 

This album comp was only released on CD. I think you can stream it on YouTube. I realised how lazy my listening habits have been by putting streaming on when not spinning records. I had really missed this album.
