Nervous Gender/Beelzebub Youth - Music From Hell LP


Excellent early Subterranean release. Beelzebub Youth were a mystery to me but is in fact Nervous Gender in disguise. Synthpunk should be the best description for Nervous Gender, although the Beelzebub Youth tracks sound darker and less punky. Before this release, they appeared on the 'Live At Target' comp. album. Nervous Gender started in 1978 and had different line-ups including Don Bolles of the Germs and Paul Roessler of The Screamers. Original member Gerardo Velasquez died in 1993 at the age of 33 and so ends the story of Nervous Gender.

Note: Titles to 2 & 5 are listed incorrectly on the sleeve. Correct tracklisting below. And I deliberately took the sleeve scans from one of the sites. Call me lazy.

I can't tell you how many nights I found myself with a girl in a closet at a party with this playing in the background back in the day...

Finally! A friend from LA turned me onto this album (which he had a shitty copy of on cassette), in '89 and was lost in '99... until NOW!
LOL, I remember having "Exorcism" on the answering machine.. I always wondered why that Temp office never called back?
Thanks again so much!

Also, I own the Live AT Target album with NG, Flipper, Factrix and Uns.. I should download that to this site in return.

Hello Matthew, enjoy the craziness of NG. Sure interested in the comp. as I don't own it.
