Though originally released in 1990, the Busface single Kid On A Bike has recently found tremendous airplay in certain circles. There is something so essentially rockandroll about the theme of a thirteen-year-old riding his bike at the expense of all else that just seems to communicate to the cogniscenti, apparently.
Hailing from Long Beach, California, Busface seems to have an uncanny knack for what drives the kids crazy: 7" singles; a hand-drawn sleeve of a rural individual riding a bus; white vinyl; and rocknroll attitude to spare, as evidenced by the back cover photo, wherein the band stand beside a big car, wearing sunglasses, looking really tough. These dudes don''t need to hide their paunches; they''re Busface.
The wonderful thing about this single is what a total lack of a moral message it has. First the kid "steals himself a brand new bike." When he is picked up by the cops, the solution is obvious: he steals his mother''s credit card and charges it "all the way to the f*cking top!" This is proclaimed as a great achievement to be admired. Lastly, he rides his new ill-begotten bike down to "that old bus station" and, lastly, goes on a "permanent vacation." For a time I thought he was hit by the bus; but I soon realized, when Busface says "vacation," they mean "vacation." That''s what makes Busface so totally rock and roll.
It''s not every day that a gem like this comes into your life. But then again, this is the sort of quality we''ve all come to expect and demand from SUPER FIDELITY ENTERTAINMENT.
