1982
—————————

Two new singles are of more than passing interest.

The Suburban Wives Club's "Casual Cat at a Laundromat'' has a jittery, scratchy guitar riff, slamming drums and the earnest screech of lead vocalist Reesa, who used to lead a local band called Reesa and the Rooters. The other members of the Club — drummer Ann Frances and bassist Cherie Rumbol — supply a firm rhythm and pleasantly hoarse back-up vocals.

By itself, "Casual Cat at a Laundromat" might be considered little more than a nicely conceived novelty tune, but the flip side of this single, "Guru Eye," demonstrates the Suburban Wives Club's range. "Guru Eye" features an ominous, rumbling guitar figure, and the lyrics are both. sarcastic and surreal — very good stuff indeed.
