About Me

We have ze album in our hands. It's called "Return of the Magical Molerat" and you can hear a sample here in the tracks "Good Love(in the eye of a hurricane)" and "Feast of the Porcupines"................................................. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ......................................With members from such diverse bands as SNOUT, THE MEANIES, THE EGOS, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE, DUNG, ROSS MCLENNANS WISHBONE KNEES, DAN BRODIE AND THE BROKEN ARROWS, GOLDEN SHOWER, THE BREADMAKERS, SHUTDOWN 66 and THE CURLY WURLYS, you'd expect THE BAKELITE AGE to sound like a dogs breakfast...but NO....they don't........sound like a dogs breakfast. They sound like a chicken and champagne breakfast....that is..if you were to substitute Chorizo for chicken and Sangria for champagne.
