about

MTS@@3 - The Baby 'First Steps' Tape

+

"You gotta hear THE BABY! Comparisons to Urinals and early releases by The Fall don't really capture their wonky approach to post-punk, but this live tape might. Members of BB & the Blips, Bed Wettin' Bad Boys, V.I.P.P. and Photogenic pick up instruments they're unfamiliar with to record straight to a microphone or telephone. Featuring Lucy, Sabina, Max, Ben and fronted by everyone's friend Ravi, the live tape captures the Sydney band's strange early stages."
- Meatspin Records, January 2019

The 'First Steps' cassette features six songs per side from two recordings, with five variant covers hand drawn and coloured by members of the band.
