Premiere: Liliput, “In a Mess” MP3

story Claire Lobenfeld

Liliput was an all-girl punk band from Switzerland whose reign on tough, angular guitar-ridden jams lasted from 1978 to 1983. Think The Raincoats or The Slits (and if you don’t know these, throw Delta 5 onto the list and get familiar). Later this month, Kill Rock Stars will be releasing a compilation of two of their live shows, including one when the band was still called their original name, Kleenex—which is a tampon brand in Switzerland, not a facial tissue, like here in the U.S. There is an accompanying DVD that features six different performances from the band’s tenure. Check out our premiere of “In a Mess” and don’t be shocked when you spend the rest of your day dusting off your old 7-inches and re-acquainting yourself with your punk days.
