    Their second album is "Honey Lingers" which contains a few singles -
    "I think I love you"- a pyschedelic version of the Partridge family (or
    was it the Cowsills?) song.
    "Monsters and Angels" and "Perfect Place"- nice power pop
    
    Cheers,
    Another Beeliever

Is there any connection between Voice of the Beehive and Strawberry Switchblade,
or do they just have a similar sound ?

(First person who says that the connection is that they have a similar sound
can go and stand in the corner)


Cheers,

    Derek.

    	Hum, I vaguely recall reading that one member of Strawberry 
    	Switchblade was up to something but I don't recall it being
    	with Voice of the Beehive.  It may not even be anything recent.

    I really loved their first release and was very disappointed with the
    second.  Too commercial and they lost their sense of humor.
    
    It sounds real pretty, though.

    I agree, I was listening to the first album this morning and couldn't 
    quite figure out the words to one part of "Barbarian...". The bit that 
    goes :-
    
    	He's got his eyes on the horizon
    	He says I can ride his rocket
    	When telephone numbers are tumbling from his top pocket
    	XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  ! CAN'T FIGURE THIS BIT OUT
    	He falls out of the car
    	And he says "I'll f*** you later now just get me to the bar"
    
    Any help ?

    The missing line is:-
     
    "Dream logic operator he falls out of the car
     he says i'll f@$k you later now get me to the bar"
    
                           Stretch.

    Ahhh!! Thank you.
983.18curious Strawberry Switchblade...SOURCE::ZAPPIApunk rock pollyMon Mar 09 1992 17:0529
    
	I just noticed that there's two notes on them (#$278).
    
    	Anyhow, I'm just curious about the reference to Strawberry
    	Switchblade in .9 but a quick look on the outside of the current
    	release packaging didn't suggest it but who knows.
    
    	Also, is the song "I Think I Love You" a cover from the U.S. 
    	Partridge Family, David Cassidy and company?  Seems unlikely
    	but again who knows.
    
    	- Jim

983.19It's not originalMIACT::WALLACEjohn wallace @ bbpMon Mar 09 1992 20:442
    I do believe their "I think I love you" is a cover of the Partridge
    Family original. It adds a certain something to it, though.
983.20NEWOA::DALLISONSplatterpunx on acid...Tue Mar 10 1992 02:053
    Anybody have any other bits of info on them ? I'm having a 'battle' with
    my girlfriend as to who can obtain the most useless but interesting 
    facts !

    Re; .18
    Strawberry Switchblade are from Glasgow, Voice of the Beehive are from
    L.A. - Other than that, they seem to dress alike
    
    Re; .20
    There's an interview with Tracey in the March edition of "Satellite
    Times", but it's hardly what you'd call "in depth"
