Girl Bites Dog Reviews:
Short, Energetic Songs 
2000-11-04 - Bow Wow Wow was one of many female-fronted New Wave bands from the early eighties. These bands evolved from the punk scene and were influenced by some extent by the disco scene. They sang shorter songs, backed by an electronic beat. The lead singer would have a girlish, but sexy voice and sort of shout/sing the lyrics. Groups included Romeo Void, Motels, Berlin and Missing Persons.
Bow Wow Wow was a little bit different in that the singer had a Burmese/English accent, they had a hard driving African rhythm and they were from England (like all forms of modern music, Punk/New Wave originated in the US and was adopted by the British). Bow Wow Wow was one of the pioneers in rock videos, producing their first video before MTV first started broadcasting.
These New Wave groups did not produce many full length albums. Instead they generated tons of singles, EP's and 12 inch singles. They could take one song, remix it in different ways, and release it as several different singles. Alot these were dance mixes, aimed for the club scene (as Disco evolved from the traditional Bee Gees/Donna Summer crowd, to the Yuppie/cocaine crowd). Bow Wow Wow only released two official albums. Everything else are compilations and "greatest hits", plus one live album from the nineties.
This CD is a compilation from many different sources. It contains music from an 8 song cassette tape called "Your Cassette Pet", songs from a number of EP's plus b sides from many singles. It has 18 tracks and is 50 minutes long. All of the tracks are short, with a high energy African beat.
This isn't Bow Wow Wow's best CD. The songs are mostly from the earlier, more silly stage of the group. The continious, staccaco beat, song after song, is a bit tiring and hard to take in a single sitting. But, if you want to put something on and dance like crazy for 50 minutes, this is the perfect CD.
If you can find this CD at the cut out price, it is quite a bargain.
Hot Stuff.... 
2000-07-04 - This is a great collection of music by Bow Wow Wow. A Malcolm Mclaren creation...Adam Ant's original band with a jailbait female singer....the band put out some really great music. This CD includes "Sex", W.O.R.K., Louis Quatorze, Uomo Sex Al Apache and their masterpiece "C30, C60, C90, Go" in english and in spanish. Originally a cassette-only release (back in the days before cds) it was called Girl Bites Dog Your Cassette Tape Pet.
