Slum Goddess Records Releases 1980–1984 from Mudmen Slum Goddess Records Releases 1980–1984 from Mudmen October 2011 [email protected] www.slumgoddessrecords.com Slum Goddess Records is pleased to announce the release of the new album 1980–84 from Mudmen. Emerging in the early 80s from the vibrant Manhattan downtown music world they carved an important niche for themselves in the underground scene and become regulars at such Manhattan venues as CBGB’s, Danceteria, A7, Pyramid, The Mudd Club, Limelight, Inroads, Tramps, Hurrah’s, Peppermint Lounge, The Purple Barge, Gallery events and almost anywhere they were asked. Mudmen was a 3-piece band living, playing, and recording in the East Village. The band was comprised of Kevin Larmon, guitar and vocals; Craig Gillis, bass; and Michael Caffes, drums; with Jill Burkhart, percussionist, dance and muse. African rhythms influenced many New York bands of that era — Liquid Liquid, Talking Heads, Dog Eat Dog, Konk, to name a few. Mudmen were also influenced by these rhythms and incorporated them heavily into their music and songwriting. They also were influenced by the “no wave” sound; being contemporaries of the likes of Arto Lindsay, The Lounge Lizards, Sonic Youth, DNA, James Chance, and Bush Tetras among others. The Slum Goddess Record release 1980–84 is a 12-song compilation of numerous recordings done in the four years that the band was together. During that time Mudmen self-produced one now impossible-to-find 45 record (“Let It Go” b/w “Phnom Penh” that includes the trumpet work of then Sonic Youth member and noted actor Richard Edson) which was sold in various independent record stores and played on college radio stations in and outside of New York. Three of the songs were recorded on 24-track at Sorcerer Sound Studio in Soho, New York. The others were recorded “live”, with no overdubs, at Donny Fury’s 4 -track legendary basement studio in Little Italy, New York. Put together this body of work is remarkably consistent and defines a unique sound for the era. Mudmen made their music in a time and place that no longer exists yet their songs continue to sound fresh today due to the timeless strength of their ideas. The album is currently available from the usual digital vendors (iTunes, Amazon, etc.). For more information contact Slum Goddess Records. .

  • Sonic Youth: Celebrity DIY
    Essays — Peer Reviewed ZoneModa Journal. Vol. 7 (2017) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-0563/7585 ISSN 2611-0563 Sonic Youth: celebrity DIY Alice Militello Pubblicato: 29 dicembre 2017 Abstract In New York City’s early ’80s music scene and beyond, the band Sonic Youth represents a special case of the celebrity’s concept. It cannot be reduced to the record sales or scandals, like other famous people. They don’t have the typical self-destructive streak of the stars of the show business, which is the basis of the fortune and, at the same time, the defeat of other musicians. They don’t even have the cult of personality, which has destabilized other crews of the time. However Sonic Youth, during their three decades of career, have been able to find a space in the music scene, to involve a broad segment of audience and lovers; becoming a kind of model for younger generations of musicians. Furthermore, the members of Sonic Youthcan be considered such as influencers ahead of his time, thanks to their ability to find new talents. The present study aims to analyze the concept of celebrity applied to the Sonic Youth language, from 1981 (starting year) to 1994, the year of Experimental Jet Set, Trash No Star album, which brings the group to that DIY (Do-It-Yourself) punk ethics that denotes them from the beginning; to plot the New York’s environment in which they fit; and how the entry into the mainstream world changes the aesthetics of the group. In other words, the research is a breakthrough of the band’s long career, marking the highlights that made them the Sonic Youth.

  • 1 Sonic Youth's Debut Album, Their Acclaimed And
    1 SONIC YOUTH’S DEBUT ALBUM, THEIR ACCLAIMED AND INFLUENTIAL CICCONE YOUTH PROJECT AND THURSTON MOORE’S ONLY SOLO ALBUM ALL FINALLY REMASTERED AND REISSUED AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE With a new Sonic Youth studio album expected later this year, three of the most daring, innovative and compelling soundvisions in modern music--Sonic Youth’s landmark 1982 debut album, its legendary twisted pop opus under the pseudonym Ciccone Youth and band member Thurston Moore’s sole solo album--are back. Sonic Youth (with bonus tracks) is being reissued for the first time since 1987, Ciccone Youth’s 1989 The Whitey Album for the first time since 1995 and Moore’s 1995 Psychic Hearts for the very first time. All three will be reissued by Geffen/UMe on March 14, 2006. Sonic Youth expands the original groundbreaking five-song mini-album (“The Burning Spear,” “I Dreamed I Dream,” “She Is Not Alone,” “I Don’t Want To Push It” and “The Good And The Bad”) with seven earlier tracks recorded live in September 1981 (“Hard Work,” “Where The Red Fern Grows,” “The Burning Spear,” “Cosmopolitan Girl,” “Loud And Soft,” “Destroyer” and “She Is Not Alone”) plus a pre-album demo recording of “I Dreamed I Dream” (in it’s earlier guise as “Where The Red Fern Grows”) from October 1981. As a part of the Post-Punk/No Wave movement, and raised on punk and experimental music, Sonic Youth had formed earlier that year and recorded the album with Moore on guitar and vocals, Kim Gordon on bass, guitar and vocals, Lee Ranaldo on guitar and vocals, and Richard Edson on drums.

  • Sonic Youth Biography
    SONIC YOUTH The band is in nucleus formation: Thurston Moore - guitar, vocals Kim Gordon - bass, guitar, vocals Lee Ranaldo - guitar vocals Steve Shelley - drums Their new CD is called RATHER RIPPED Release date: June 13, 2006 1981/82/83 (Noise Fest, 1st mini-LP, Confusion Is Sex, Kill Yr Idols, Sonic Death): The group began in 1981 downtown New York City with this line-up: Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo and Richard Edson on drums. Ann Demarinis, keyboards, played early on for a very short bit and is documented on the first recorded appearance of the band on the Noise Fest cassette released by ZG Magazine in 1982. The Noise Fest was at a NYC art gallery where Thurston curated 9 days of experimental rock music. After Anne left, Lee joined. This is the band that made the 1st eponymously titled mini-LP released in 1982 by Neutral Records, a label founded by NYC guitar/composer Glen Branca. Richard then ran away to be a movie star. Lee and Thurston awoke in 1976/77 NYC to CBGB/Max’s firestorm: Television, Patti Smith, Suicide, Ramones, etc. - Kim was in L.A. studying as a visual artist living down the block from a young Darby Crash and Germs rehearsals. She came to NYC, met up with Thurston and they started playing during the era (1978/79) dubbed no wave. They joined forces with Lee. With cheap guitars tuned to various hot rodded tunings they wrote songs. Richard Edson left to be replaced by Bob Bert, and for an interim, Jim Sclavunos.

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Open share drawer. Jul 23, Sam rated it it was amazing. I've always known he was an awesome, extremely intelligent dude with a great sense of humor and a fervent supporter of underground music and literature, but as I learned from Browne's book, the band as a whole has always operated along a similar vibe, have never been particularly moved by the promise of fame and fortune, and have always done whatever the hell they want, professionally and artistically. Dec 03, tim rated it really liked it. The book boasts solid writing, illumating quotes from the band, and countless factoids that will enrich your listening experience of Sonic Youth to no end. In fact there is no sex, unless you count a married couple having a child together. They're arty, obscure and almost entirely free of drama, drugs, angst or any of the other typical trappings befitting a book-worthy band. But he miraculously survives, then vanquishes a comic- book adversary, has a steamy sexual encounter and discovers mysterious hieroglyphics. Browne notes that anyone who's ever worn an ironic t- shirt owes a debt to Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth. Fated to live forever, he wanders the wasteland until he encounters an enigmatic figure who offers him information on how he can escape eternal life.

  • Ballet De L'opéra De Lyon
    Danser Encore Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon Avec les danseuses et danseurs de la compagnie, nous avons dialogué sur le désir de danser encore, de nous retrouver, de retrouver la scène, alors que le confinement a conduit chacune et chacun, bien au-delà du ballet de l’Opéra, à se poser la question du retour à ce que nous avons quitté. Nous nous sommes promis d’inventer alors des rencontres : de danser encore, malgré tout, assurément, obstinément. Les interprètes du Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon ont invité des artistes à leur écrire un solo. Du lieu même d’une impossibilité, ce program- me s’imagine telle une levée, tel un sursaut. Nous danserons, toutes et tous, comme on brave. Danser Encore s’écrit comme une réouverture, et s’offre avec la frappe d’un enthousiasme. Ainsi s’inventent des pièces données de concert ou pas, disséminées ou rassemblées, ouvrant cette nouvelle saison comme un manifeste.
