It's August 8th.... 8/8.... so, figured today would be a good day to drop a cover of the 1981 new wave single "88 Lines About 44 Women" from Boulder, Colorado group The Nails.
The cover is by a band called DeLARGE, presumably named for the main character in Anthony Burgess's 1962 near future dystopia novel A Clockwork Orange. Their cover art would support that theory.
There is a band called Delarge from Sevilla, Spain. But, this cover was released in 2002, when members of the Spanish band would have been negative four years old.
I couldn't find anything about the cover artists themselves, but they're on the Dellfold Entertainment label, which had a mailing address in Chalmette, Louisiana. So, I'd guess that they're local to that area.
Unrelated, but here's a link to the 1996 psychedelic rap song "Pepper" from San Antonio, Texas band Butthole Surfers. I think they owe The Nails writing credit on this one.
