Description

Alpaca Brothers, The ?– Legless The first 12" record by these New Zealanders is a great 5 song EP - one of the real gems of the Flying Nun "also-rans" who didn't make it big. From Little Hits:

"Perhaps the best of the Flying Nun records by bands who never saw any sort of US release were the Bird Nest Roys LP and the "Legless" EP by the Alpaca Brothers. The latter is notable not only for a great bass sound (lots of strings slapping against the fretboard in a distinctly non-thumb-popping kind of way) but also a strum-velocity that reminds me of the Feelies, and great quirky songs. The Alpacas included Steve Courname, who would later drum for the Verlaines, and featured guest musicians Peter Gutteridge (Snapper, The Clean) and Norma O'Malley (Look Blue Go Purple). Another of FN's releases funded by the QEII Arts Council, wherin the New Zealand Government gave grants to make punk records (usually 12" EPs, which is why Flying Nun seemed to like the format so much)."

Tracks include Hey Man, It's No Joke, The Lie, Zither, and Wilderness.
