Song · On a Friday / pre-Pablo Honey (1986–92)
Tell Me Bitch
Ska-flavoured, of all things, in 1990.
1990
the shindig tape
It is 14th on the tape the band recorded in 1990 under the name Shindig, and it is ska-flavoured, one of the odder turns the band took in those years. The tape went round online in 2006. Some fan lists write the title as “Tell Me Bear”, most likely a mistranscription.
