NHT053: THE GLOVE – A Blues In Drag

Hi,

Welcome to this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT .

THE GLOVE, for want of a better description, were an early 80s alternative supergroup who released just the one record. Key members were Robert Smith from THE CURE and Steve Severin from SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES.

When you listen to the album, BLUE SUNSHINE, you can really hear that they were having a fun time.

Whilst I really enjoyed listening through the whole album there was something incredibly special about this song A Blues In Drag. It’s wondrous melancholy got its hooks into me the very first time I listened to it.

Those very same hooks are still there to this day.

Maybe you will find the same?

I hope that you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

Cheers, Andrew Muecke
