Leave My Kitten Alone by The Gruesomes


Song #10
The Gruesomes are one of the most influential, most respected and loved underground garage 'revival' bands of the early 80's in. They started in their mid-teens with no experience whatsoever, in Montreal Canada, they took their name from the next door neighbours on the television show The Flintstones. Their biggest musical influence were The Beatles, and the way they dressed was inspired from them aswell. They became a big hit in small underground clubs and on universities, they became known for their rowdy high energy shows. The Gruesomes have influenced many modern bands around the world and their legacy here in Canada still lives on, they have just released a book, and are re-releasing Tyrants of Teen Trash on cd. These boys (now men) still have it and are my top (along with Dandi Wind) favorite Canadian bands.

I love my little kitten just like your hound dog loves his bone
