HOUSEHUNTERS "Cuticles" (12'') & "Warp Factor 13" (7'')

For most the name of Jowe Head recalls bands as Swell Maps, Television Personalities, or even The Palookas. Disguised here as Stefan Vogel, Jowe Head led the indie weirdos HOUSEHUNTERS to something like an amusing parody or rather a funny recycling of the past.
HOUSEHUNTERS got inspiration from mythic side of rock'n'roll, from trash-pop culture, punk, psychobilly, the 60's he-&-she duets, the sudden innocence of early indie heartbeats and a lot more...
They fed the frenzy of their time with three singles, an LP... and the small indie Hollow Planet label they ran...

HOUSEHUNTERS: Stefan Vogel (Jowe Head) guitar-vocals / Mercedes Mole vocals / Trudi Holt keyboards / Lucy Cameron sax / Stark Zoomer (Jeff Bloom) drums / Lindsey bass

Discography:
Cuticles (12'') / Cooler Than Thou (12'') / Warp Factor 13 (7'') / Feeding The Frenzy (LP)

Hi! Any chance of uploading again the link to "Warp Factor 13"? These guys were great, I used to listen to them back in the 80s, together with Membranes, Christianhound, Philip Boa and the Voodooo Club, or Palookas. If not possible, don't worry, thanks anyway! All the best, Joao

Hi Paramo! THANKS A LOT FOR THIS!!! You're great! And you're right, the link worked, it was the file that wasn't there (or at least I could not find it). I should have said "uploading again the file"... This is great stuff, I love it. A big hug, Joao
