I got this record years ago assuming the A-side would be the scorcher and B-side would be the snoozer. That's usually the case, right? Wrong. Beex was a female-fronted punk band from Richmond, Virginia that released two 7" singles in the early 80's and a few things in the late 80's. Singer Christine Goodman passed away from breast cancer in 2007 at the age of 55. Her memory lives on in this major ripper B-side below:
I saw Beex live in late 1983 and spoke briefly to Christine, who was quite intoxicated but very nice to me. I thought they were a terrific band who were a little out of step with hardcore tone of the times (having a more garagey 70s Detroit feel to their approach). It's a pity they aren't better known and am saddened to hear she passed away.
