Dream 6

Dream 6 was the original name for the band led by Johnette Napolitano, who gradually evolved into Concrete Blonde. Comprised of future Blonde members Napolitano and James Mankey (Michael Murphy handles the drumming here) they released this pretty cool and dark six-song 12”EP three years before their self-titled debut. The songs are straight-ahead, punk-tinged rock, although on songs like "Daddy Lied" Napolitano displays the vocal power that would endear her to fans later. There is also a version of "Rain," which would be redone for Concrete Blonde's 1993 Mexican Moon. It's pretentious and takes itself too seriously, but it's an enjoyable curiosity for the more fervent fans of Concrete Blonde.
