Following up my post from last night, here's another salvo from '87. When I belatedly encountered
Claude Pāte on the
Iowa Compilation (also from 1987) I knew virtually nothing about them, except that I was eager to hear more. Of their two proper releases, this 45 is all I own thus far, but if you're hankering for straight-up, no frills rock and roll, C/P satisfy along the same lines as Fire Town, Snatches of Pink, and Carnival Season (wilfully obscure references, I know). And btw, they were a band (a trio to be exact), not an individual. The everyman grippes presented in their songs are seasoned with grit, earnestness, and riffy power chords, however these guys had enough class to keep things from careening off the rails.
A. I Will, If You Will
B. Ain't There/It's Gone

They put out one more 12" EP, Situation. Pravda still has copies for 4 bucks plus shipping. There were a couple of songs on their now gone website, a rough mix of My Turn and a live track. If you want any of that, I can get you rips that I made.
I used to see them play a lot around central Iowa. They were really fun live.
