Bed Wettin' Bad Boys, or Le Enfant Terrible de Incontinente as they are known in French speaking countries, are three punks who play the loosest most shambolic racket you are likely to hear on record or stage. They are also brilliant. Or magnifique.
The record is split into two sides: “Best Band in Sydney” and “Worst Band in Sydney”; a cheeky response to the way they’ve polarised their hometown. Some people consider them nothing more than a joke because of their no frills, dumbed down approach, while others dig on their goodtime, instrument swapping vibe despite the fact that most of the time they are royally drunk and talk way too much shit between songs.
Joe Sukit, bassist for Royal Headache, sings on the “Best Side”, while Nic Warncock sings on the “Worst Side”. Both sound like Stink-era Replacements, which of course makes them both “Shit Hot” sides. With a snarling middle finger salute to everyone and everything, opener 'We Don't Want to Know' sounds like it could have been recorded in Minneapolis in 1982.
‘Waste of Time’, which opens with a squeal of distortion and a self-deprecating howl, is the best track on the record capturing everything the band is good at: loud, blown-out melody; loud, blown out non-melody; and playing drunk.
Recorded by David Akerman of Dead Farmers to 1/2 tape at Louie's Warehouse, the record captures the gruff, sincere, about-to-fall-over energy of their live show. When Warncott slurs, “You know it can't happen, but I want it to”, you can almost smell the spilt beer on his shirt.

Warncott! Uh-oh.
I need a copy of this!
I really dig the LP's cover.
These guys are great. I like.
want.
That is terribly wrong, for starters ''Le Enfant'' should be ''L'Enfant''.
Australians are so fucking stupid. Can't wait til Indonesia or China takes over here.
Shouldn't it be Les enfants?
Where's the other half?
Also, I guess it'd probably be Les Garçons Terrible or some merde.
Le ''mouiller son lit Bad Boys'' est ce que Google Translate dit, tu chattes cosmopolite.
NO, BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY EVER ONE CHILD, AND THAT BITCH GOES BY THE SAME WHINY FUCKING NAME. DEATH TO CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes you seem like a sexually liberated woman; at other times you sound like a peeved teenage dude. Hm.
Je te tiendrai au courant.
putain
there's few things more irritating that a would-be enfant terrible.
arguing about french. yawn.
I want to argue about the number of Ts in Bed Wettting.
well spottted. i would rather talk about the cocteau novella, though
Is Jasmine still living under the delusion of relevancy? Sigh.
Meanwhile, have to get my hands on a copy of this asap.
It's ''Nic Warmcock''
vs
lol
haha that cover is sick!
what a bunch a dillholes
Great 7''. Can't wait to get it.
Also, the Melbourne launch will be a blast.
i hear the guy that photographed the cover is a real babe
Cover phtograph by Barry Blondebroso.
are they playing on thursday night in melbs?
They are playing not this weekend but the next weekend. It should be heaps of fun. They know how to play a sweaty stinking hot many leveled whare house in surry hills. All the band members are really sick nice guys heaps of fun from Marcus
nice covers
so, these guys really like the replacements.
Do we get to circle the applicable option?
finally listening to sample track, good times.
lets drink beer in cans and smash the empties against our foreheads.
want want, rip society may be my exo for 2010... have you seen what they have coming up? as you fine 'strayans would say it's fully sick. which doesn't translate into french on the site i was just on. oh well...
That photo makes them look like a real band and shit!
makn' us proud!
Sample track is a fucking sweet song! The Replacements, besides having some amazing songs, had the horrible habit of sounding like a guitar store/pub covers band production and playing wise sometimes. The rawness really captures the song unlike some other file-in-this-category-lo-fi where the rawness just masks that there isn't much of a song there to begin with.
good post, andy
gonna pick this up soon
family band - i can tell by the smiles!!
pretty much. i thought the songs were fuckin good and reminded me of the ramones so recorded them in a way that i thought did justice to that, instead of masking it in noise as is the trend these days. great record and it was super fun and easy to make
best band in sydney
I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of this. I've only seen Bed Wetting Bad Boys play once but I thought they were great.
Why did Car Sick Cars rip-off Bed Wettin Bad Boys?
shit everyone is ripping off suyin records, hope they don't start suing.
haha!
i want that afghan whigs record!
hey, tim, i'll keep my eye out, i've been on the look out for alot of the kind of peripheral grunge bands lately
BWBB's are in Melbourne next weekend.
oh yeah and also.....
FEB 20. 8PM.THE EMPRESS HOTEL.
714 NICHOLSON ST, FITZROY NORTH.
COME EARLY AS IT'S GOING TO SELL OUT REALLY QUICK.
BED WETTIN' BAD BOYS
Sydney’s #1 party band are back in Melbourne launching their four track debut 7” on R.I.P Society Records. Think indie rock before indie rock meant you were a sweater wearing nerd (aka Replacements, Dinosaur Jr, Meat Puppets) with undertones of glam (more Slade than Bowie), power pop and hard rock. Held together by wild guitar, overdriven bass lines and a lewd, punk attitude (definitely not college rock).

SOUTHERN COMFORT
New band from Angela Bermuda (Circle Pit / Straight Arrows) and Harriet Hudson (Downtown / Circle Pit) playing timeless songs based around their hypnotic reverb soaked guitar sound and duel angelic vocals. A real Velvet Underground drone rock vibe with a classic rock/country flavour. First Melbourne tour!

WOOLLEN KITS
Local house band at the Empress for the weekend! These guys seem to get compared to is Beat Happening, which is fair and all but somewhat limiting. Woollen Kits surpass the “twee” thing because a) actually have good songs and b) they’ve got a stompin’ garage energy with some killer surf guitar lines. Would most likely appeal to fans of the Modern Lovers (i.e. pretty much everyone).

BITCH PREFECT
Three funs guys from Adelaide, one of which being the truly radical miracle that is Scott Ohara (also of Lindsey Low Hand). From the videos and all reports Pat and Liam are also totally bodacious dudes with moves worthy of your attention. Great off-beat, humbling guitar pop for fans of The Clean, Pavement, Eat Skull, Kitchen’s Floor.

Master of Ceremonies MARCUS RECHSTEINER of The UV Race will be hosting the event and helping everyone have a great time. With Marcus on board there is no doubt in my mind this will be a truly excellent rock show, one from the history books!
P.S. There’ll be a bunch of R.I.P Society Records releases on sale on the night. Alongside the new Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys 7” we’ll have the new Kitchen’s Floor - Regrets 7” for sale, a repress of Sydney garage-punks Straight Arrows debut 7” and the debut 7” from Royal Headache. BRING HEAPS OF MONEY
I saw these freaks play in brisbane and it was fucking awsome...mind you i had consumed about 5 pills...but still great show
MELBOURNE 7'' LAUNCH AND TWO OTHER AWESOME SHOWS THIS WEEKEND.
Wanna see these guys but will be away this weekend, fark!
Residents of Sydney, we've got this record in stock and it's flying off the shelves!
Bought one of the aforementioned flying stock yesterday and gave it a spin this morning, its pretty fucken good.
Dear internet, this show will be the last Melbourne Bed Wettin' Bad Boys show in the ''classic'' 3 piece line-up. Also turn up early for Carborator, visiting Melbourne for the first time and featuring member of Dead Farmers, Royal Headache, Songs and BWBB's!!!
Tonight! 7pm doors, first band at 8pm.
What's happening to the ''classic'' 3 piece lineup? Stripping it back to a low-key acoustic duo? Adding a horn section in the hopes of another ska revival? Enquiring minds want to know.
Two guitars (Ben and Joe), bass (Nic), drums (someone new). Maybe room for a few back up singers like in this video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywa4_ZsqtXA
