The Dirty Hyenas
out Friday 7th June
Where’s Your Parrot, Captain?
If “Where’s Your Parrot, Captain?” was a novel, it would be a work of fan fiction.
Nic from the Dirty Hyenas is a massive fan of the Damned and possibly even a bigger fan of the band’s guitarist Captain Sensible. He covered the Captain’s “Glad It’s All Over” for his band Love Positions back in 1986 and, more recently, released a version of “Brenda Part 2” (from the incredible Women and Captains First album).
“Where’s Your Parrot, Captain?” features lead vocals by Brendan Gosling and Telarahrama (Erin Baxter, Jaclyn Brownhill, Sarah Coffee and Tandarra Rothman).
Kimba The White Lion
The Dirty Hyenas have given the classic theme song to the 1960s TV show Kimba The White Lion a new arrangement. This came about when Dougie, the drummer, wanted the band to record a whole bunch of TV and movie themes. When “Kimba” was chosen, it was a unanimous decision that the tune was a bit naff and an overhaul was due.
Written by Bernie Baum, Bill Giant and Florence Kaye, who wrote a lot of songs for those debatable 60s Elvis Presley movies. Their most well-known song is “(You’re The) Devil in Disguise”.
