Band: THE TEARDROP EXPLODES (Liverpool)
Active: 1978-1982
Album: KILIMANJARO – debut LP
Released: 10 October – 40 years ago today
BBC Music: “Knowing how troubled was the genesis of Kilimanjaro it’s
amazing that something so perfectly formed emerged. Like Love’s ‘Forever
Changes’ it inhabits a strange alternative universe that seems to have little
relationship with contemporary sounds. For that reason alone it remains
timeless.”
The Guardian: “LSD lover and Princess Di eulogiser
Julian Cope was once almost sunshine pop’s golden boy.”
Julian Cope: “I get twitchy if I don’t pick up a guitar or sit at the
piano every now and then… I have to do it; I don’t have a choice.”
Turn Up The Volume: “Don’t shut your mouth, Julian”.
