The Beach Bullies


The Beach Bullies were the brainchild of James A. Smith, aka The Great One, friend and sometime collaborator of Robyn Hitchcock. Along with vocalist Jill Fricke, he recorded just the one LP under the BB monicker, We Rule The Universe. As far as I know, it was also the last thing he released but it is an absolute lo-fi gem - witty, catchy songs with endearingly shambolic vocal harmonies and minimal instrumentation. For years I thought I had the only copy but it's now surfaced on the Blogosphere and you can judge for yourselves here:
