NIHILISM ON THE PROWL!
1977 CALENDER INDEX
SNATCH
Snatch
are 2 engaging andeloquently
snotty American scenesters (Judy Nylon
and Patti Palladin) who are based in
London. They bought a taste of Max's
Kansas City to late 70's London. They
release their debut 45 'I.R.T.'/'Stanley' on
Bomp Records today. Although the single
was pressed in the US it's available only in
the UK. Greg Shaw at Bomp Records liked
it so much after hearing the tape he
offered to press anything from it!
Both tracks are demos recorded in Patti's
Maida Vale flat in 1976. They comprise of
little more than a thrashed out guitar with
2 screaming harlots let loose over the top, minimalist but groundbreaking. 'Stanley' is a story of tranvesticism and I.R.T. is gutturally romantic piece about travel on the New York subway.
Judy phoning up Johnny Thunders while Patti ticks off the pharmaceutical requirements!




"The recordings were just a by-product of our common lunacy. Their value is in the genuine honesty, conviction and attitude."
- Patti Palladin 2001
