Today, March 24th, Matador Records releases Fuckbook, a new album of cover songs from “legendary New London, CT trio” Condo Fucks. A press release from Matador says that the Condo Fucks have “returned to the stage after a long absence from the tri-state area’s concert circuit…”
Bullshit.
We dispatched a pair of Savage Detectives to the Whaling City this past weekend in search of information regarding these elusive Condo Fucks. Not only does there appear to be no-such-Condo-Fucks, it appears that this elaborate ruse was nothing more than an opportunistic attempt by a desperate band from Hoboken, NJ to tap into New London’s true-blue cred. Shame on you, Yo La Tengo!
We’ve thought long and hard about how to solve this problem. And the simple answer is: throwdown.
We, Conversion Party (and most of the rest of New London) would like to challenge The Condo Fucks, or Yo La Tengo, or anybody else on Matador to a BATTLE OF THE BANDS. We’ve got stages. We’ve got fans.
You may have heard of a little band called The Condo Fucks… There’s been a lot of speculation as to who’s who in this little outfit. Well, we can assure you: we know who you are and we do not approve.
So, Condo Fucks, considered yourselves warned. Beware of the Whaling City.
