Walter Steding hasn't been mentioned yet. He was a violinist and has a single and LP on Red Star.

I'd also recommend the Love Of Life Orchestra, the first 2 song album w/ Arto and David Byrne on it is really fun, the later mostly live I think lp isn't as good, I think. And of course Arthur Russel fans should check out Peter Gordon's solo record that has him on it.

I've never seen/heard Sick Dick tracks, I think they had something to do with Borbetomagus or however that's spelled.

Donald Miller was in Sick Dick, along with Brian Doherty. Doherty had a solo single released under the name Secrets of Loveliness that is great. Both sides of it were on one of the Homework comps. Doherty was later in a band called Lhasa Cement Plant, a noise rock improv group who were really good and put out a couple good albums in the nineties. Doug Snyder of the duo Doug Snyder and Bob Thompson was also in Sick Dick.

Lester Bangs played with the group for a gig or two.

oh man, awesome tim, I didn't know that. Screams Buried in Screeching by Secrets of Loveliness is one of my favorite tracks from Homework. I swear I saw like 20 copies of the single at a local NYC store, one of those stores that still has stock from 20 years ago and thinking "is this or isn't this some weird hyped2death thing?" and couldn't remember. The rest of the collection there's been cleared out by some fellow 7" fans, but I wouldn't be suprised if some of those are still there...

there was an incarnation of sick dick that played/lived in florida in the early 90s but i have no idea how they were related. i think doug snyder was an honorary member probably... beered in. those guys were drunk constantly. and fighting eachother during everybody else's set. seems like there was an older guy who supposedly was the cred for the band that otherwise just pissed and spit craprock in every direction. maybe doug snyder was in the band. or??

The Can't Stop It - Australian Postpunk comp has a roster that includes both The Slugfuckers and Primitive Calculators, as well as other bands whose sound recalls no wave more than post punk.

It occurred to me that it might be nice to use this thread to post some of the more rare no wave stuff, since so much of it is nearly impossible to track down. So I'll kick it off, and hopefully some of the rest of you will chip in. 'Cuz I want more stuff.

impLOG - "Holland Tunnel Dive"

Red Transistor "We're Not Crazy" and "Not Bite"

Tsk Tsk Tsk - "Nice Noise Theme" and "Rock Song"

thanks...

and after I paid 35 bucks for my copy of Holland Tunnel Dive!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 6 May 2005 20:25 (8 years ago) Permalink

Eep! Sorry!

I'm assuming that there was a b-side to "Holland Tunnel Dive". You've at least got that much over me, for what it's worth.

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Friday, 6 May 2005 20:29 (8 years ago) Permalink

I was just kidding, I downloaded Holland Tunnel Dive from someone ages ago as well, also after I bought the vinyl. No, it's a beautiful package and I love the song enough that I had to have it. 99% of the music I like I won't pay that kind of money for, it has to be something really special. But yeah, the b-side isn't as good. There's also a 7" that's more rare. I've been begging to reissue it for a few years but someone else was going to maybe do it. If that falls through, I'll still do it if I can.

It's music made by people who hate you.

I didn't know you were in a band Alex?

Of course! Alex is from NYC! Makes perfect sense!!

I wonder if Bradley Field will still play "drum".
