Title: Bottled Woman
Year: 1999
Label: Tom Perkins Records
Tracks: 1.) Bottled Woman, 2.) Cheetah Eyes
Detroit's Clone Defects were one of the definitive bands that bridged the gap between the Rip Off Records era of the 1990s and pretty much everything that has been good since then. They took the fast and raw rock n roll influence that had gotten a little stagnant and generic at that point and added an art and noise element to freshen things up.
Singer and guitar player Timmy Vulgar had been kicking it around with Epileptix a few years earlier but they never really caught on. (Their records are very collectable now, though.) This debut for Clone Defects got a great review in Maximum Rocknroll at the time and he's been pretty prolific and well-received since then.
The last Clone Defects record was in 2003. They played a handful of reunion shows over the next decade. After that Timmy went on to the more artsy less punk Human Eye and then the art pop of Timmy's Organism. Drummer Fast Eddie passed away in 2013. The producer of this 7" would go on to be world famous as Jack White.
