Legendary New London, CT trio the Condo Fucks returned to the stage last March after a long absence from the Tri-State Area's concert circuit. A secretive Hoboken rehearsal was recorded and is being released March 24, 2009 by Matador as the LP/CD, Fuckbook.

Eschewing such Condo Fucks originals as ‘Fuckin’ Gary Sandy’ and ‘Let’s Get Rid Of New Haven’, the trio – Georgia Condo (drums), Kid Condo (guitar), and James McNew (bass) – instead tear through covers of The Small Faces, Richard Hell, Beach Boys, Electric Eels, Troggs, Flaming Groovies and Slade classics in the style that previously won them so much acclaim from the Nutmeg State’s music journalists and radio programmers all those years ago.

In the go-go 1990s, the Condo Fucks released 4 titles on the Matador label (see right), some of which were prominently advertised on the inner sleeve of Yo La Tengo’s I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One. Sadly, these titles are long out of print and we are unable to provide the media with copies.

this leaked... and is fucking AWESOME. :shock:

it's basically just YLT in a garage with their amps cranked tearing through a batch of awesome covers. their cover of The Troggs 'With A Girl Like You' is blowing my mind... that's one of my favorite songs ever.

i'm curious if this thing is even more than just a 2 track live recording, it doesn't sound like it

Yeah, I'm listening to. It's all that I could have hoped this to be.

Just hope to see a real new YLT album sometime soon.

Don't know how this will hold up, but man would I love to have an album called Fuckbook somewhere in my top ten at the end of this year.
