The Golinski Brothers

The Golinski's best song was Bloody, penned by lead singer Darris. Featured on the Vaultage 79 album, the song has a nifty sax riff and Darris carries it all off with a shrug. But it's the first verse of the lyric that stands the test of time:

"I'm gonna go where they've never seen snow
send my giro to Cairo
I cant stand another day
I gotta get away
I'm not impressed
my life's in a mess
I get so depressed
still you gotta have a laugh
ha ha ha ha
Chorus:
What am I bloodywell s'posed to do
got my bloodywell self bloody stuck on you"

Anne Other, a site visitor, sent this:
"Bob Golinski, Darris (or David Harris) was just a plasterer on the make from south London."

'Bloody' too good not to be a hit GO

Darris Golinski | August 2009
Divine comedy or shock horror! I've just discovered that they have built a replica of the old Alhambra, popular seafront venue for most Vaultage bands, in Southern Spain. It is near a place called Granada (presumably named after the loadsamoney pile of Ford crap). It is apparently nowhere near as good as the original but hey.

The Golinski Brothers Resurrection gig is getting close - 5th Sept at the Prince Albert - and I am panic wondering why we decided to do this gig, but tenor sax players are flying in from Barcelona and guitarists motoring down from Manchester as I write so there's no backing out now.

Saw the Buzzcocks at Cropredy Festival the other week (I remember when they came to Brighton circa 1979 and we rioted because they only did a 20 minute set - the guitarist with a Brighton band, now a well respected member of the legal profession, managed to nick one of their amps in the mayhem. I'm not saying nuffing). If you get a chance to see them go, but I'm not sure how wise grey haired pogoing is, it looked shit but perhaps it felt great.

Golinski Brothers will make sure that St John's ambulance is at hand on the 5th and wish to thank the sponsorship of Stannah Stairlifts. Twenty copies of vynil Vaultage 79 are being given away in our Kolly Kibber competition - details will be on the Golinski Brothers website - www.golinskibrothers.com - and I hope on the PunkBrighton and Prince Albert website. We've got to believe in free will - we have no choice.

Love y'all out there in PunkBrightonland, England. Darris Golinski

Golinski's Resurrection!

at the Prince Albert
Trafalgar Street
Sat 5th September 2009

Tickets available from
wegottickets.com, Rounder Records and Resident Records, Brighton

Amazing once- in-a-lifetime Vaultage 79 competition

Before your very eyes!

Thanks to the skill and generosity of Will at Brighton’s premier entertainment venue – The Prince Albert – we are able to offer you the chance to win one of twenty mint copies of the original vinyl Vaultage 79 album starring such bright luminaries of the Brighton punk scene as The Chefs, Woody and the Splinters and, of course, the ever popular Golinski Brothers.

AND HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO

Golinski Brothers have manufactured a remarkably lifelike humanoid which they have named ‘Kolly Kibber’. Kolly Kibber will be walking around the Prince Albert on the night of the Golinski Brothers Resurrection, and in the few days proceeding, wearing a Golinski Brothers badge.

BEWARE THERE MAY BE OTHERS WEARING A GOLINSKI BROTHERS BADGE WHO ARE NOT THE REAL KOLLY KIBBER!

When you have spotted him you must approach him, carrying your ticket for the Golinski Brothers Resurrection and say- ‘YOU ARE KOLLY KIBBER!’

Upon confirmation that he (or she) is the real Kolly Kibber you must say

‘MY NAME IS JOHNNY. I WALK THE STREETS ON THE NASTY SIDE OF TOWN AND I CLAIM MY VAULTAGE 79!’

Remember, despite appearances, Kolly Kibber is not a real human being – he is a humanoid product of Golinski Laboratory’s hi-tech craftsmen – he will not respond to your approach unless you get the wording RIGHT!

And that’s all there is to it!

Easier than getting a kangaroo into a wet suit – and that is what we, at Golinski Brothers, call true animal experimentation!

Couldn’t be more simple!

Happy hunting and happy grooving to the sounds of 1979!

YOU LUCKY PEOPLE!

Hi Phil. Thanks for the smashing e-mail. And the punkbrighton site. I've only just found it properly and it is a wonder/brilliant/a gift. Thanks for it.

We are at last getting our act together on the website front
www.golinskibrothers.com
Please pass my e-address on to Jay, I would love to get in touch with him.

My Dad gave me some sound advice on his deathbed, he said always invest in good speakers.

Hope you are well. Darris Golinski

PS: I will get round to putting some reminiscences of the 'of course, when I was a boy dot dot dot' variety on the brilliant punkbrighton website after nurse has brought me back from a nice walk. D
