Pete Bentham and The Dinner Ladies - Spacepunx

Reviews

Opening with a 30 second original radio recording celebrating Gagarin’s achievement, before initially giving way to a flourish of Mexican cantina which then morphs into a typical lo-fi garage punk romp enriched with some subtle brass and backing harmonies over which Pete questions the subsequent exploitation of Gagarin by his Communist paymasters; ‘Is There Anybody Out There’ may borrow a Pink Floyd title, however the similarities end there; a questioning lament as Pete seeks a person with the required character to face todays challenges over a wonderfully contemplative brass section that has similarities to the more restrained moments of X-Ray Spex; ‘Dinner Ladies Are Go!’ a two minute declaration of intent, a surf infused garage stomper as Pete warns that you “Don’t fuck around with The Dinner Ladies”
