this Sting Rays song is on this big beat compilation called ‘these cats aint nothing but trash’ pretty cool one with cannibals milkshakes link wray..

thanks for playing our track on your cast. we were the least well known Huns, probably because the band was over before the record came out. anyway, to answer Michael, I Want My Woman by the Sting-rays first appeared on the 1983 Big Beat comp These Cats Aint Nothing But Trash. I think it’s also on their retrospective CD. the Huns were from iowa but played with the Sting rays a few times in London.. not to be confused with the 70s Huns from Texas, or any of the various 60s or current bands called the Huns. And the Sting-rays – not to be confused with any 60s Sting-rays or the 90s surf band…

no way from iowa ? didn’t know that… i still remember when i was buying ths record back then..i though i buy a rockabilly record.. couse it stands gene vincent on it.. ha ha ha… and then it was even better as i expected.. great record by the way.. still on my record player sometimes and spin it on my dj sets as well and kids dancing to it again…
2008-02-20 at 09:37
Yeah any band from Iowa has to move somewhere … we went to London for six months, played some trash gigs, made a record, and split up…..good times. Sorry about the rockabillly mix up – we had to put someone more famous on the cover in order to get you to notice!
2008-02-22 at 03:53
ha ha ha.. yea i do that all the time….
you guys have other bands now ? or went funamental christins..i think iowa is famous for that right ?, i’m swiss.. i don’t know exactly… i remember driving trou iowa and could not buy alcohol… and i had the pizza already ordered.. damn.. ha ha ha

You couldn’t buy alcohol in Iowa? Weird. Maybe it was too late at night? Who knows… but alcohol is legal there. There are a lot of dry counties (where you can’t buy alcohol) in Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and a few other states, but none there. Fundamental Christians are everywhere, though, not just Iowa. Actually, the southern U.S. has the highest population of them (Southern Baptists). At least Iowa isn’t as backwards as some states… remember, Iowa was the first primary that Barack Obama won, so it ain’t all that bad. Also, Iowa is where one of the greatest ’60s punk bands (GONN) was from!

When I first got to Iowa (1980) , you could only buy alcohol (outside of bars, I mean) in state-operated liquor stores. You would get served by someone wearing a uniform that looked just like a police uniform – they had badges, but no guns…. That changed shortly after and you could buy booze in the shops….It’s not really all that conservative, compared to other rural areas in the US – just kind of “farmy” – but I haven’t been back in 18 years, so kind of out of touch.
