Stiv Bators
It's Cold Outside
After the Dead Boys, Bators embarked on a musical journey that saw him touch upon power pop during a brief solo career.
This is the first Bators single to emerge from Greg Shaw's Bomp! Records (1979) and includes a stunning version of The
Choir's original t's Cold Outside' and the original The Last
Year' on the B-side.
Although included in our past release "I Wanna Be a Dead Boy" (1992), as a limited edition 7" boxset, this is the first
time the single gets an official reissue in its original format.
This is an essential power pop classic!
As the frontman for the Dead Boys, Stiv Bators terrorized audiences with his snotty, in-your-face punk rock style. But
after the Dead Boys, Bators embarked on a musical journey that saw him touch upon power pop during a brief solo career.
Stiv moved to Los Angeles and signed with Bomp! Records, Greg Shaw's label that released many seminal 70s West Coast
punk and power pop groups such as the Nerves, the Weirdos, the Zeros and the Germs.
The first Bators single to emerge from Bomp!, t's Cold
Outside' (originally by Ohio legends The Choir), is a song that the Dead Boys reportedly could not figure out how to
play. It was released in May 1979. The B side he Last Year' is a Stiv/Jeff Jones (alter ego of Frank Secich) song
dedicated to the recently deceased bassist of the Sex Pistols Sid Vicious and would later appear on the LP
"Disconnected" (1980).
Although included in our past release "I Wanna Be a Dead Boy" (1992), as a limited edition 7" boxset, this is the first
time the single gets an official reissue in its original format.
This is an essential power pop classic!
