Semi-infamous for being one of Kurt Cobain’s favorite bands, Glasgow’s Eugenius never had got a fair shake here in the states: Not only did frontman Eugene Kelly have to live up to the expectations of Nirvana fans–most of whom probably weren’t expecting the group to be so bright and fuzzy–but he also had to please fans of his old band, the now-lionized Vaselines. As it turns out, both groups pretty much missed out on 1992’s Oomalama, as it came and went pretty quickly, and is now residing in dollar bins around the country–despite great songs like these:
