DESCRIPTION Discos Transgénero present a reissue of the Marnie Weber 's classic first solo LP, Songs Hurt Me , originally released in 1989. This seminal record was an important part of the Los Angeles post-punk performative art rock scene. Brooding synthesizers, heavy bass, strange melodies, and poetic lyrics lead you through an industrial journey. These songs were born from Weber's earliest performance art characters: a deer, an old woman, a manic courtesan, and a butterfly. Songs Hurt Me was originally co-produced by Phillip Drucker , AKA Jackson Del Ray of Savage Republic and 17 Pygmies fame. Marnie is a pioneer in art rock from the '80s in Los Angeles. She emerged early in the music scene as the bass player in the Party Boys , a formative and important Los Angeles post-punk downtown art scene band. During this period, the Party Boys performed shows with Minutemen , Savage Republic , The Red Hot Chili Peppers , Fourwaycross , The Blue Daisies , Perry Farrell 's first band Psi Com , Camper Van Beethoven, and many more. Bruce Licher of Independent Project Records, whom Marnie met in art school, released the first Party Boys record. After performing with the Party Boys, Marnie went on to become a noted solo performative art musician in her own right. She has released five solo records MARNIE and numerous group album releases. As a visual artist Marnie created the cover of Sonic Youth 's A Thousand Leaves album -- interesting to note Marnie is the Songs Hurt Me hamster girl on the cover. She also designed posters for Sonic Youth and did a co- release of her second album with Thurston Moore on his label Ecstatic Peace. Label Expanding from her musical roots, Marnie exhibits artwork, films, sculptures, DISCOS TRANSGÉNERO collages, sound installations, and costumes internationally in museums and galleries. She has had two extensive survey exhibitions of her artwork. Songs Hurt
