Big Wheel - Curly Girl (Metronome) 1970
If the Jook gets you off then this should really take your head off. What am I saying - it'll take anybody's head off. Starting out with a crazy siren-slash-pickslide that bounces left and right in stereo. It's brutal glam in the Hammersmith Gorillas vein with some tremendous Keith Moon frantic drumming. It wouldn't sound out of place on Bowie's Pin-ups because the basic track has this 60's Troggs/Kinks brutality to it but the spacey effects, blistering Ronson lead guitar and Bowiesque singing are undeniably 70's. This group has nothing to do with the Big Wheel that ended being comp'ed on the Velvet Tinmine CD. This one is Dutch is related to the band Unit Gloria.
