The Pterodactyl Hunters

Terror in Demoland

(Crazy Love Records)



Country legend Cliff Stone observed "You gotta be bad, before you can be good." That may generally be so, but primitivism can have peculiar charm. And potency waves in these embryonic renderings. Pterodactyl Hunters were a French damage force that assembled, dare-deviltry in hearts and musical armaments at hand, back in Psycho's germinal period. Some acounts hold they ultimately lunged in somewhat sterner manner. The band's life spanned a brief 1989 - 1992 term) But their initial energies were of have-a-go animation, rollicking tunery (that sometimes skirted waggish madcapism), heaved by lads without cares, save for fun. Nothing wrong in that.

50 copies, in black, green, and orange vinyl, have thusfar been crafted.

Recommended: "Pterodactyl Airways," "Don't You Let Me Down,"  "Bitch Omaha Beach," "shout baby!," "Space Cowboy,"  "George Hamilton's Back," "It's Moving Inside," "Lonesome Train (on a Lonesome Train"

Videos: "Pterodactyl Airways"   "Bitch Omaha Beach"   "Space Cowboy" (live 1989)   "Don't You Let Me Down"   "Lonesome Train (on a Lonesome Track)"
