@sillygirl277 they never made one,. : ( so make some recordings of the videos,. he was more of a performance artist than a singer/band.. he was in my eyes. the ultimate punk,. more-so than even johnny rotten,. our LA scene is quite underrated.. i was there from very early on,.. i can tell you lots,. got to see thier last show at the whiskey,. wonderful..
Yeah - This is my favorite Screamers song - definitely influenced by Silver Apples and also Suicide, Ultravox - thank you for sharing this great musical relic/trasure
No question: THIS IS THE SCREAMERS. Sounds like a Maestro Rhythm Machine. That bompy bass drum is very familiar. However, the possibility of it being live drums isn't out of the question. Perhaps an overhead mic, heavily compressed, would get that sound too. There are certain points where the drums come through and sound like an acoustic set. I have been tearing this recording apart for years and there always remains uncertainty. I guess that's the magic. Awesome upload.

Surely this isn't the Screamers but the cover version by Flux Information Sciences put out on the tribute album to the Screamers called 'The Necessary Effect'.
Well, maybe I am. I guess I'll find out later. It's just it doesn't sound like the Screamers to me. The voice doesn't sound like Tomata Du Plenty, it doesn't even sound like an American accent, plus it sounds like they're using a drum machine, which the Screamers never did anywhere else that I know of, but maybe they did...
i know, we already talked about it. I'm not some idiot who doesn't understand that bands progress, that people might use a drum machine when they didn't before, etc. But I just wondered. It's just that I'd heard VERY MANY THINGS they recorded, including the 'pat garret sessions' and NOTHING sounded like this, plus the voice is different, even the accent is different, but i was open to the fact that it is them, just it seemed possible it wasn't. I accept it, but just questioned it.
Drum machine is also used on Matar Dolores from this session. You can download quickly version from flux inf. sciences on soulseek. It's completely different.
Yeah, OK, I believe everybody already. Just it sounded remarkably different and it's a remarkably clear recording compared to pretty much everything else you can find by the Screamers. I was surprised and you can surely understand why I was dubious.
Though, listening again, I still don't hear what sounds like Tomata, and the accent is like a German who learned a mix of American and British English. Americans, tell me, how American is that accent? Where are the 'r's at the end of and in the middle of words pronounced, like in 'deserved' or 'or'? And would someone born in NY, lived from 9 until recording with the Screamers on the west coast of the US, pronouce 'chance' like that? And does it sound like his voice? Maybe he's putting it on..
I'm not arguing or denying it's them. Just I think it's plain enough why people would doubt it. Sounds unlike anything else they did in more than one way, but in the context of careful recording it may well have come out like this. Doing the vocals in a different, careful way is natural in a studio, especially if you've got a one-off quality recording arranged. When he shouts as he goes on it sounds more like Tomata. Just sounds so different you can hardly blame people for being dubious.
yeah, putting it on. there was a lot of that back then. a lot of heckling for many of the punk singers who did it too. Tomata was in a class all his own though.
fuck yes.. the screamers!!! i got one of their shirts.. i remember.. when i was young.. like around 5.. so in 1995 i saw a punker wearing a screamers shirt.. and that immage of the shirt stuck with me.. till i discovered punk for myself.. such a unique band..
