LiLiPUT were a Swiss female post-punk/new wave band active from 1978 to 1983. The group formed in 1978 under the name Kleenex, and soon made a name for themselves, until the threat of legal action by Kimberly-Clark in 1979 prompted a change of name to LiLiPUT (Kleenex being a proprietary brand of tampon in Switzerland). Their initial line-up consisted of Regula Sing (vocals), Marlene Marder (guitar), Klaudia Schiff (bass) and Lislot Ha (drums), and in the late 1970s the band recorded a number of successful singles prior to Sing's departure. In 1982, after playing together for four years, LiLiPUT released their first self-titled full-length LP on Rough Trade. In 1993, Swiss label Off Course Records released a 46-track double-disc CD collecting Kleenex/LiLiPUT's 1978-83 releases. In 2001 it was re-issued in the USA by the Kill Rock Stars label. In 2010, Kill Rock Stars released a 24-track CD/DVD set Live Recordings, TV-Clips, and Roadmovie.

Their music featured husky or squealing female vocals, ramshackle drums, scratchy and twanging guitar, thick funky bass, saxophone and occasionally flute, violin, or other instruments. The cut-up surreality of their lyrics and energetic, girl-punk sound put them in a league with bands like The Raincoats (frequent tour partners), Delta 5, The Slits, Essential Logic and Bush Tetras. The band's sound developed throughout their career, due in part to line-up changes; the earlier recordings are more noisy and energetic, while the later songs are more complex and haunting.[citation needed] Discography Singles * Hedi's Head/Ain't You, 1978 * You (Friendly Side)/Ü (Angry Side), 1979 * Die Matrosen/Split, 1980 * Eisiger Wind, 1981 * The Jatz/You Did It, 1983 Albums * Kleenex EP, 1978 * LiLiPUT LP, 1982 * Some Songs LP, 1983 * Kleenex/LiLiPUT CD, 1993 * Live Recordings, TV-Clips, and Roadmovie CD/DVD, 2010 Video * Live Recordings, TV-Clips, and Roadmovie CD/DVD, 2010 Kleenex/Liliput (Rerelease 1993) DOWNLOAD LINK Login or register to view download link (it's free!)
