PINK SECTION was a short-lived synth-punk band with Dadaist aesthetic by 4 students of San Francisco Art Institute in 1979/80. This first-time retrospective LP collects the band’s rare 1979 single, the self-titled EP, unreleased demos, and live materials

Carol and Judy went on to form the Inflatable Boy Clams after Pink Section split. The bass and sax player Matt makes mechanical music and sound installations nowadays.

„San Francisco’s first and only rock ‘n’ roll band” was the slogan of CRIME. It was formed in 1976 and after 3 singles broke up in 1980. They were among the very first west coast punk bands, and played raw and loud rock’n’roll. In 1977 they began wearing police uniforms.  In 1979 the Crime performed a show in San Quentin State Penitentiary. There they didn’t wear police uniforms of course, instead of it they wore prison guard uniforms. This LP release collects the three singles along with nine previously unreleased studio recordings from 1976 to 1980.

Post-Crime: In 1987 Sonic Youth covered „Hot Wire My Heart” on their LP Sister.  –  Johnny Strike (vocals, guitar) has become a writer. In 2001 he formed a new band, The Johnsons. They changed their name later to The Venus Hunters and eventually shortened it to TVH.  –  Crime was re-formed in 2005. In 2008 they recorded a new album of rare, older materials.  –  The drummer Hank Rank has become a film producer under his real name, Henry Rosenthal. His best known work is The Devil and Daniel Johnston.  –  The original drummer Ricky Tractor was the original singer of Flipper, because he was a very original person…  – A photo book about Crime.

Excerpt from N1 Ear

“If I get raped it must be my fault and if get bashed I must’ve provoked it / And if I raise my voice I’m a nagging bitch and if I like fucking I’m a whore / And if I don’t want to I never want to (‘you never want to, you never want to’) / And if I love a woman it’s because I can’t get a real man or it’s for his enjoyment / And if I ask my doctor too many questions I’m neurotic and need pills / Because I still can’t get a safe birth control while some fucker’s roaming the moon”

After Velvet Underground, Lou Reed and Nico, before Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky, Leslie Winer has made the first trip hop album. Witch was released in early 1990 in London. It was simply credited to ©. It will be re-released on vinyl by Superior Viaduct on 29 April.

Leslie Winer is an American born poet, writer and musician. In the beginning she played with jazz bands as a pianist, then befriended with Burroughs and Jean-Mihel Basquiat as a university student in New York, worked as a super model in the 80s, went to London, worked together with Adam & The Ants bassist Kevin Mooney and Karl Bonnie of Renegade Soundwave, took part with her spoken words in the last song of Sinead O’Connor’s debut album in 1987, then made her first album Witch, which was released in early 1990. Her main instruments were the sampler and the desktop. (Witch was re-released in 1993. It also passed unnoticed.)  She contributed to Bomb The Bass, Mekons and Holger Hiller songs and went back to America in late 1990, wrote some tracks for Grace Jones and Jon Hassel, signed to Geffen Records, but her second album 3 Bags Full which was recorded in 1993-94 stayed unreleased. Her third album Spider was recorded between 1994 and 97. It was released around 1999 in very limited series by Austrian minimalist and deconstructivist fashion designer Helmut Lang to promote one of his shows in New York.

These are raw jazzy experimental trip-hop albums with spoken words and sampled, dubbed music. Her albums remind me „Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales”, the collaboration album of Burroughs and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. On the other hand her songs bring Velvet Underground, Lou Read and Nico to my mind.

Since then there were collaborations with French composer Christophe Van Huffel, Swedish composer and conceptual artist Carl Michael von Haushoff, British singer-songwriter and BMX champion Alice Temple, and put JJ Cale with touch with Samuel Beckett for nothing under the Cajun moon.

the body consist of two misanthropes. Lee said about their new LP: „me and Chip both have very negative views of the world, in general, so that usually comes out pretty strong in the lyrics and the themes and stuff.” Not an average, very heavy and really industrial metal

Art rockers’ surreal case

In accordance of the new „Made in America” act the Federal Trade Commission barred export of their new album, titled: „We’re an American Band” in 2005. Under the legislation, companies advertising products with the term „America”, „American”, „US” or USA” must file certification documentation that „all or virtually all” of the product-including processing and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. Since the band claimed „we are an American band” so the FTC is required proof of national origin of each band member. They refused it. Otherwise the „We’re an American Band” is a big hit by Grand Funk Railroad. By the MX-80
