LOS MICROWAVES – COAST TO COAST

A special 7″ 45rpm single, limited edition in purple vinyl, pressed especially for their recent north eastern tour. This is a re-release of their 1980 hits not available on the recent remix compilation. Features David Javelosa (on synth and vocals) along with Meg Brazill (on bass and vocals) plus drummer Todd “Rosa” Rosencrans. Sonically the songs variously recall Blondie, Flying Lizards, Gang of Four and a far less dour Human League. Importantly, the band rocks, even when it’s employing a spare drum kit, solid but elemental bass, and monophonic analog synthesizers. The stripped down aesthetics of the group – necessitated by its minimalist instrumental approach – are nonetheless thrilling. Even if you weren’t there in 1980, this’ll take you back. Remastered by punk producer legend Geza X. credits released November 21, 2025
