Song Of the Day: June 8, 2006
Band Of Outsiders - Dutch Girl Concern
From the EP "Up the River,"
Flicknife Records (UK), 1984
I'm woefully ignorant of most of the output of the bands associated with Band of Outsiders. The reason I know this song is that the Dangtrippers used to cover it live. The enigmatic lyrics and cool guitar riff stuck with me for years until I was finally able to track down the record. I think...that there was another version of this recorded that was inferior to this Ivan Kraal-produced version, but I could be making that up.

Great song. Exactly the kind of record I would have bought in the mid 80's, except I totally missed this one.
There's a live album by these guys that has a great version of this song.
The live album was split with Certain General (I think it was called Far Away in America). One of the other Band of Outsider tracks on it was "Conviction" which starts slow, builds and eventually delivers the goods a la the Feelies. I haven't heard that in years, but remember it being brilliant - does anyone have it?
That song I was thinking of really is as good as I remembered...

I love the internet.
I was surfing along and came across your site and my eyes screetched to a halt at the mention of the Dangtrippers. Can't tell you how much I'd love to see Days Between Stations posted- hint, hint, hint.

This is a good site. Wonder if they ever post a mpg of the PLASTICS?... Curtis (Fan of Vic Varney of the Method Actors
