*sigh* Fond memories of a great Kiwi band.
What an awesome find! Years after losing my second copy of Hole I googled the name of one of my favourite bands from my misspent yoof, and turn up this gem. I caught one live performance of FJS, waaay back in '92. It was when they supported Babes In Toyland at the Power Station I think? What an incredible band. I'd hitchhiked from ChCh at the age of 17 to see the Babes and was blown away by Frankie and Fatal Jelly Space. An intense, brooding, raw and brutally dark act infused with a real vulnerability in their sound, which I was stoked to hear carried over on to the Hole EP which I went out and bought the next day. Really happy to find this acoustic track. I only wish they'd put out more recordings/posters/t-shirts/anything!
