Models – Teenage Radio Stars – I Wanna Be You Baby

Posted by Bono on April 07, 2011


Teenage Radio Stars playing “I Wanna Be You Baby”, which is basically a clone of The Vibrator’s “Baby Baby”. This was recorded during the Suicide Records aussie punk period, which also had on their record label Nick Cave’s Boys Next Door, The Negatives (Sacred Cowboys/Moodists) and The Survivors (New Christs). As you can see from this clip Teenage Radio Stars had a very young James Freud singing with the help of a spiky blonde haired Sean Kelly. They would later have major chart success as James Freud & The Radio Stars and The Models. Models recently performed in 2008 and even did this song on stage. They seem to have gone full circle as James Freud son was playing with them and he looks like his father in this clip. Check out concert photos on our MySpace website. www.myspace.com Last fact for the day!!! Their real names are: James Freud AKA Colin McGlinchy Sean Kelly AKA Sean Mantelpiece Just in case you ever appear on Rockwiz. :)
