The Screamers - Eva Braun

[@blazingsstar]

Uggggg I don't wanna b one of those "I was born in the wrong generation" people, but I would give anything to have seen these dudes live

[@82GROZERIAX]

i born in the better era, thas beacause i can hear the oldies and the new (a little bit) good things

[@juanruiz-ej2wy]

sorry to tell, but you missed a great band

[@multiplesifl]

Screamers and DEVO understood the importance of video in music before most other bands. Truly innovative!

[@dalden710]

Too bad they didn’t know the importance of recording 😂

[@ginoabeyta311]

The Residents too!

[@juanruiz-ej2wy]

I saw the screamers live many times and 50 years later I still have their sound in my ears, absolutely fantastic

[@twofistedmarkmonti9352]

Saw them at the Mabuhay in SF, once in '77 and once in '78....they WERE that good-amazing live

[@AlexRadeffandDonkey]

I saw them in Toronto on Halloween 1978 and have never forgotten them. Incredible experience.

[@cftvdata]

Was that at the Edge? I used to have a tape of the set they played in Montreal, I think a few days after the Toronto set, and it was a great one. You could tell from the recording that most of those in the crowd didn't really know what to make of those guys. They must have seemed like they were from outer space or something at the time.

[@AlexRadeffandDonkey]

@@cftvdata It was put on by Gary Topp & Gary Cormier (The Garys) at The Horseshoe a few months before they moved to the Edge which opened in 1979. There was bouncers walking up and down the aisles because there was a lot of hostility in the air.

[@cftvdata]

@@AlexRadeffandDonkey Thanks for sharing those details!

[@mightyturkeyneck3498]

​@@AlexRadeffandDonkey🦃🦃🦃 Uhhh, do you mean AISLES at The HORSESHOE? Unless it's been radically renovated since 1978, ain't no aisles ever been in The Horseshoe. Just sayin.

[@AlexRadeffandDonkey]

@@mightyturkeyneck3498 It has been renovated. it's a lot smaller than it was.

[@kulde]

1978/79.... ahead of their time yes. Amazing!!

[@donkeywent]

Tomata gave us Plenty

[@das81]

I played two songs of them in the local comunity radio here in my hometown. They deserved it!

[@juankenon]

I am always floored by the mind numbing genius of this

[@daviddavis3155]

Lucky I was around to see Tamata, Darby, and, Black Randy, funny enough I can still remember 50% of the good stuff...Screamers were in on the ground floor, Tamata was the coolest

[@earache_barker]

Much respect.

[@Crash.7434]

Did you know Darby crash? I like the germs a lot and Darby is interesting, from what I seen he was goofy but intelligent at the same time. Edit: some of his live shows in 77 is funny, you can hear him antagonizing the crowd between songs 😂

[@dubhdavidblack2094]

Huge influence on me from the first time I heard them way back in '81 or '82. My first band were so much like them. Fender Rhodes through fuzz, life changing :)

[@fernandopinzasramos3181]

what was the name of your band?

[@c-c-c-carlos]

comepletely underrated band.

[@CortoArmitage]

Today it is hard to understand how how dangerous and subversive this was in 1978. Ten years of laid back attitude were shattered by punk in an instant. "....A potential H bomb" Too bad that the idea of mixing synths and punk did not became more widespread. Maybe it was too powerful, the world could not handle that much energy,

[@jorgetapia7804]

CortoArmitage look into the band the locust

[@niclawson1520]

Factrix, Nervous Gender, Pink Section, TuxedoMoon, Chrome, all part of that sound and scene.

[@cftvdata]

NON, too. And a handful of others who were inspired by the Screamers' do-it-different ethos, if not their use of synths specifically, like Gobschite and Fat & Fucked Up.

[@timnordberg7204]

hey hey let's not forget P-Model, early DAF (later DAF is great too but not really very "punk"), Metal Urbain, and the Beatnigs

[@theok04]

The theatricality of this band is ace. Awesome biting synths--just great stuff.

[@marcfedak]

Thanks miodlipowy for posting this excellent and pioneering song. I actually think the low fi quality adds to the creepiness of the subject matter.

[@valkiefalkmann2617]

still have a glass television, no pxelshit, philips and works all the time, like this music....

[@bzanit]

These rare videos man its mindblowing! Thank u so much for posting this, u guys are heroes

glad to see ya got this back on soz didnt reply couldnt do the file share but thanx

amazing video from a legendary band! I need to do some synthpunk now and get a 70s video camera!

[@miodlipowy]

I've found on my hard drive video of "Eva" with better sound, gonna try merging good audio with good quality of image.

I just found Cathode recently and saw this for the first time the other night when they played it. Any way you could point me to a link with that version?

[@marcfedak]

For the second time today, awesome!

[@onebluenineTV]

I think I was at that show. I was a big fan of the Screamers and I went to most punk/no wave shows I could find in those days... I remember the TVs but it might have been from a different show. They went through plenty of changes. No pun intended.

Fine stuff.

[@tintomara6209]

Nothing like them before or since.They must have been a genuine shock to the system in their time.

[@machoninny2960]

[@downallyourstreets]

Seattle post-punk band the A Frames have a good song called Eva Braun worth a listen too, different vibe but just as dark.

[@bonicon1]

I wonder, who influenced who? Devo, Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Klaus Nomi, Gary Numan, Pere Ubu, The Screamers...

[@vercingetorix2923]

The more new Band has a similla style

[@bonicon1]

Emberdin Do you mean the US band, Brand New?

[@vercingetorix2923]

no i mean "the network" its an american neo new wave band.

[@bonicon1]

The Network is really Green Day. If you mean some other band, can you send me a link? Tx!

[@vercingetorix2923]

bonicon1 The members of greenday are in the network, but some other people too.The name and the style is diferent. So its not green day.

[@Arc.hitectureMusic]

These guys are way beyond being just another Punk Band. This sounds like Throbbing Gristle, but musical!

[@miodlipowy]

It was too big to send it via e-mail. On Rapidshare you had a problems with download. But for present u can watch it here :)

[@numeraledition]

epic track

[@badkerproductions]

I shut up and listened.

[@derekjohnston1197]

+Badker Productions Just because there are no guitar power chords, the idiots dismiss this and call it "new wave/synth crap".... These guys had their OWN agenda. More thought provoking (with a very alien element) ideas presented here than any generic "thrash punk/hc/rehash! Punk is an ATTITUDE... Besides, the word "punk" does not mean SHIT anymore.

[@niclawson1520]

It was also an act, a vehicle for Tomata and co. After everyone got hip to them, they went on to create something newer. Make no mistake, THIS was and still is genius. The end is perfect.

[@ANTIschoolYEAR]

So good......

[@ullibaumgarten6212]

Great!

[@asyntheticsound]

i found out about these guys a decade ago right as i was buying my busted ass drum machines from the 60s and running my organ consoles through my pedal board. i know it's sappy and lame to say, but at the time i felt really connected to the Screamers on a weird level when i first discovered 'em. imagine a teenage idiot rolling around her bed with a diary like, "ew holy heck they totally get me" type shit. it's been quite a few years, and my music has mutated for the weirder/better since then, but i always come back to this band when i want to think about my own coming up. also i really am infatuated with the thought of them being so profound for their time, yet there isn't an official goddamn tape or record to be found by this band. i mean, fuck you Eva Braun, but also The Screamers are tops.

[@galindoshow]

asyntheticsound this is so beatifull. i used to listen the screamer when i was younger. and my musical taste goes to weirder better too

[@theunknowngamer5477]

He has a clone by the name of Steve Naylor, he hides out in different rubber rooms between California and Washington.

[@993Yokohama]

Saw them at The Whiskey A Go Go on Sunset Bl. right before they were suppose to be signed. During this song a girlfreind of one of the members (Tommy ?) use to stand in front of the stage with her jet black hair and red glove in a Sieg Heil salute for the length of the song. (strong girl). This was Punk 1970's in LA Couldn't be the girlfreind of the ever charming, charismatic, Joi de Vrie Tomata 'cause he was gay. Tomata use to frequent the now defunct Villa Capri Restaurant on upper Cahuenga Sunday Eves.

people just don't appreciate art anymore. All they are into is cheap mindless pop crap -_-

[@Brewzerr]

It wasn’t much different back then. Very few people were into this, appreciated it, or even knew of it’s existence at the time. What *MOST* people were into back then was disco, bad country-rock like the Eagles, and boring arena rock bands.
