Lookout 16
Recorded and released in 1989, Kamala and the Karnivores only release, the "Girl Band" EP, features four tracks crafted with intertwined melodies, varying tempos, and enough punch to remain on the right side of twee that can’t help but get clung to the inside of your skull. This EP shows the eclectic talent that was surrounding the East Bay scene around the early days of Lookout Records. If you like quality songwriting, dreamy melodies and heartfelt admissions, then Kamala & The Karnivores deliver. Kamala would also go on to drum for prolific punk revolutionaries, Cringer, while Todd would later cofound and play drums in Spitboy. Bassist Ivy would later replace Richie Bucher in the last incarnation of Sweet Baby.
