about
A Finnish Girl Rock band that begin in 1994. Thee Ultra Bimboos’ girls had the same, fairly modest dream (which, like we all know nowadays, evolved to something bigger, better & very uncut): to play in a rock’n’roll band and make own songs, maybe play live one day, have fun with the stuff they love the most – and drink lots of free beer! They’d been rock’n’roll fans all their lives, and the most of their friends were doing the same thing, so they figured why not, and gave it a shot: they loaned a rehearsal place and all the gear and started rockin’ from the day one. No nonsense, but distorted chords, powerbeats, bass-frequences which make people shit in their pants, loud & sirenic harmonies, great tunes right from the start. Whoever nowadays owns their super-rare first EP should put it on the turntable in this instant and LISTEN: the creativity, the (bad) taste and hunch for (good) music can be heard already in legendary songs “Who Stole My Underwear” and “Hypnotized”, which was actually El Bimbo’s gift to the girls. El Bimbo, better known as Flaming Sideburns’ Ski Williamson, was present in the first rehearsals and no-one knows how many times after that – thee guitar wizard has played many different characters in Bimboo Wonderland during the years, such as producer, songwriter, arranger, common shrink and the most of all – a good friend. The first 7” EP Absolutely Fabulous was recorded only a half a year after the band’s gettogether. They played their debut gig at El Bimbo
