I'm up on all the obvious things (Liquid Liquid, ESG, A Certain Ratio) but what else is good?
Is the majority of this stuff out of the UK & NY, or was there LA based funky post punk too?
OH man! Does this mean you're FINALLY comin outta your Modern Soul phase?
Dood seriously, the DISCUSS thread I posted yesterday is all about that ish, except for the ZZ Top record of course. I also taped this dope documentary called "Punk: Attitude" from IFC channel last week. Required viewing hommie... Holla!
According to the doc, No Wave began in the UK with the emergence of stuff on the Rough Trade label, as well as the huge role that Dub and Roots Reggae played in Punk's trajectory. Almost entirely credited to DJ Don Letts, a Jamaican cat who spun from his massive collection at the 100 Club and other punk spots. Which would account for the reggae tinges in bands like the Clash, Slits and many of the lesser known UK bands of that era. Not surprisingly, Letts also directed this documentary.
NY groups were influenced by this movement as well as the emerging hip hop scene, which at one point merged with the nyc punk scene. Which pretty much explains groups like Contortions, ESG, Gary Wilson, Glenn Branca's "Theoretical Girls", etc.
feeling some minor threat/fugazi business (waiting room)
i dont know what jesus lizard qualify, but their instrumentation is among my favorite, i just wish the lead singer would shut the phuck up, the bass lines are infectious
oh, and the makeup, they are funky...i guess that sheit's more garage though
Their late 80s stuff is really good: lots of sped up and slowed down effects, fuzzed out guitars, obscure spoken word dialogue samples. I even like their late, most popular one, Electriclarryland. I remember when I was a kid, getting weirded out by seeing a poster of the cover on the side of a music store. One of the greatest band names ever and the funniest album titles.
one of my first cassette purchases ever was suicidal tendencies, mostly because of the "pepsi" song (institutionalize) and i saw they had a "minority" in the band...god they phucking suck..worst $13 spent ever...one of my first cd purchases was body count, i was hoping they'd sound like a bad brains kind of thing, but they were just cheezy metal, but that song "there goes the neigbourhood" starts off well.
...which reminds me
Bad
phucking
Brains.
"I against I" and I aint talking no cheezy mos def sheit.
