Pandoras "You Don't Satisfy"
After the release of It’s About Time, the name chosen by Paula Pierce reveals all its ominous predictions. The opening of the jar causes two formations with the same name to roam the venues in Los Angeles for a while, which fans will nicknamed, for convenience, Pauladoras and Gwynnedoras. On one side, there are the transfusions Casey, Gwynne, and Bambi, and on the other, Paula with her new friends Julie Patchouli, Karen Blankfield, and Melanie Vammen. However, while the latter manages to pull out some good songs by stealing riffs and melodies from the record collection of hers and her boys, the others, as terrible seamstresses, can't even succeed in this small operation of cut and sew.
What remains of them is a banal punk-rock track released on an Enigma compilation, which, tired of taking the girls to court over pointless disputes about the name rights, dissolves the contract and leaves the other material recorded for a debut album that will never see the light of day.
Paula, on her part, manages to score a contract with none other than Rhino Records, a label dedicated to reissues of vintage material and with little interest in working with contemporary bands.
The exception was made in 1986 with the release of Stop Pretending, featuring Kim Shattuck’s ten fingers instead of Patchouli’s (she will end up in Out of the Fire but will continue to keep the memory of the Pandoras alive by managing the band's official website, NdLYS).
If the cover of the first album, inspired by the debut record of the Shadows of Knight, unmistakably highlighted the link to sixties-punk, the winking and super colorful snapshot of the new album seems to ride the phenomenon of all-female bands from the Los Angeles area, with Bangles and Go-Go's leading the charge. However, Stop Pretending, while smoothing out the abrasive sound of the early days and occasionally indulging in the easy play of the party album (Anyone But You, which sails carefree propelled by the 96 Tears cycle, the catchy jangle-pop of the title track, both already tested with Action Now), continues to dip its hands into Nuggets looking for inspiration, which it finds in the Standells, the Strangeloves, Them, the Dave Clark Five, Paul Revere's Raiders, the Merry-Go-Round, the Mysterians, and the Sir Douglas Quintet as its reference models.
Before long, Paula will renounce her faith to embrace the rowdy hard rock of the Runaways and reveal her nymphomania to the world, extinguishing the charm of the Pandoras before being silenced herself by a brain hemorrhage, without having the time to enjoy the success she dreamed of achieving.
