Comments for Shampoo, We are Shampoo

Hmm. My brother tells me that when they played at the Sheffield Octagon (a notable Student union venue), they nearly got gang-raped by a bunch of drunken oiks. Shows how desperate those Northerners must be if they try to get off with the likes of Sham-bollocks.

A terrific power-pop debut. Great attitude, music, and concept.

One of the best albums to come along in a long time. I'm hooked--dare I say it--even obsessed!

Undoubtably my favourite group in the whole wide world.. I'm waiting for a new album (they have about 27 or so songs but only 12 on this album).. and I don't feel like importing one from Japan for $60.. (although I have thought of it) I read somewhere that at one concert they gave out a cow costume for a prize.. when it was opened it was covered in blood.. neat eh? :) .. Although I had thought that Skinny white thing was about a certain male body part.. I could be wrong.. (they probably use double meanings..) Get this album!

Who the fuck are these people and why can't they choose a fuckin' real name?

Prior to becoming the pop band Shampoo. Jacqui and Carrie were roommates at boarding school. They both had deep interests in the Beastie Boys as well as partying. One night they met a record producer in a night club. Being party girls they were able to bullshit the producer into believing that they wre serious musicians and, into giving them an audition scheduled for the next morning. Drunk, they rushed home and wrote the lyrics for most of the songs on the We Are Shampoo cd that very night. This accomplishment was made by taking tid bits out of magazines and books. This is where they came from. Talented? Maybe in a superficial way. Entertaining? Yes, it's nice to see fellow fuck ups bullshit their way into fame. I also like the all too true Shiny Black Taxi Cab.

Well what can I say, the band speak for themselves. Of course they are the real first girl band to have "girl power". POP, their music is not POP, its PUnk! If POP it could be labelled as crap, but punk, well its classed as excellent! Now I sit and wait for their new album, its been 5 years since their second album "girl power" and so I ask myself, where is the third and more importantly where is the band!!!

Possibly the definitive `teeny` pop album of 1994! Forget the likes of Take That and East 17 - this is where its at!!In the words of the song - Teenage Girls `Doin it for them-selves`! Raw, un-corrupted by commercial ideals - it`s twee,it`s cute, maybe even crap - but it`s bloody great!Song breakdown (on first listening impressions):Trouble - two girls out on the p%ssDelicious - trouble (?) with older menViva la megababes - Don`t all teenage girls love themselves?Dirty old love song - having a go at the likes of Ms.CareySkinny White Thing - constructive (?) criticism on the supermodelsMe Hostage - work it out for yourself!Game boy - Teenage boys playing with their computers and not teenage girls!House of love - reasonable cover versionShampoo you - bands theme tune?Saddo - listen!

shampoo are the best band in the world! really! in 2000 they had a 3rd proper album out called absolute shampoo, but they put it out on there own shampoo records label and only released on the net. i dont know when if ever there will be another album, but my friends still see them out together
