Biografia
...... The Booby Traps long awaited second release "Makin' It with The Booby Traps" is without fail their finest recording to date from Off The Hip records! [br] The follow up to their successful and critically acclaimed self titled CD (currently in its second pressing), showcases the many influences and talents of the band. Although certainly entrenched in the 60's garage punk vein, their 2009 release finds us with an eclectic mix of self penned tunes in soul, west-coast pop and straight out rock'n'roll! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the first track of 'Makin' It' the BT's are channelling The Who circa '65, 'Diddley Wrong' a skull bustin' Bo beat shaker, 'Long Way To Go' a tough soul dance stomper, 'Searchin'' a harmony soaked Mamas & Papas inspired tune & 'Bad Reaction' a snarling fuzz killer in typical '66 North West style...this is just a snap shot of the how this buzzin' beer coaster is going to hit your sub-woofers! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Booby Traps are: Carrie Phillis (lead vocals, percussion) Brett Barton (lead guitar, back up vocals) Brigitte Salden (rhythm guitar, vocals) Kendall James (bass, back up vocals) Alex Luksich (drums, back up vocals) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since 2003 The Booby Traps have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with The Hoodoo Gurus, The Stems, The Johnnys, The Detroit Cobras, Billy Childish & The Buff Medways, The Persian Rugs, 5,6,7,8s, The Strange Tenants, The Runout Grooves, The Breadmakers, The Groovie Ghoulies, Mach Pelican, Asteroid B6-12, Six Ft Hick, The Spazzys and many, many others... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sneering Shangri-las inspired girl-group, meets the fuzz monsters from the garage. Primevil & raw, with a lead singer thats equal parts Gerry Roslie (of Sonics fame) & wild cat hillbilly. Go see em, theyre great to watch. Youll dance & shake, youll be revived". (TIMEWARP NEWSLETTER) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If youre looking for some chick fuzz pop to go go with catchy songs you can play loud at your next party without the guests leaving immediately, go ahead and check the Booby Traps out!!"(LOW CUT..34) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Booby Traps would have to be the hardest working garage band currently playing the Sydney circuit. Theyre great at what they do and that whole accelerator-down, chicks-with-flick knives feel that their music has, is pretty special. A Booby Traps show is always an enjoyable one. Plenty of sixties garage comin at you. Screaming, nasty vocals, warm fuzzy guitar that takes me to a time when Boss Hoss and Skinny Minny let the good times roll. Sweet melodies and drumbeats that come from the heart of all things garage. The Booby Traps were rockin and rollin and the only thing the crowd were left with were extremely sore feet. Mod escapees from a Russ Meyer flick! (Faster Louder 2004-2005)" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "IT WAS IN 2006 WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS GROUP FROM NEWTOWN, SYDNEY. I KEPT GETTING LETTERS FROM THE KIDS RAVING ABOUT A BAND CALLED THE BOOBY TRAPS. IN THE INNER-WEST THERE ARE MANY BANDS AND COMBOS WHO HAVE RELEASED RECORDS FROM TIME TO TIME. SO I REALLY WASN'T TOO EXCITED WHEN I HEARD THIS BAND, THE BOOBY TRAPS, FIRST LONG PLAYER FROM THE OFF THE HIP RECORD COMPANY. I DID GET EXCITED WHEN I SAW THE PHONES RINGING OFF THE WALL THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED IT ON MY SHOW! THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING ABOUT THIS GROUP IS THE FACT THAT FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS THEY HAVE COMPLETELY DOMINATED THE TEEN-DANCE BUSINESS IN THE SYDNEY METROPOLITAN AREA. RIGHT IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD THIS OUTFIT IS IN SUCH DEMAND THAT THERE JUST AREN'T ENOUGH NIGHTS IN THE WEEK FOR THEM TO PLAY ALL THE JOBS AVAILABLE TO THEM. ANOTHER UNIQUE THING ABOUT THE BOOBY TRAPS IS THAT THEIR APPEAL IS NOT JUST TO THE KIDS. THE BOOBY TRAPS HAVE PLAYED, OR HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PLAY, FOR DANCES BY EVERY MAJOR COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY IN THE LAND." HARVEY FINKELSTEIN Radio 2BS .. .. ..
