Arleen Schloss, performance artist and no wave icon, dead at 82
A key figure of the no wave scene…
No Wave
Cromagnon’s ‘Orgasm’: How random people plucked off the streets of New York helped create an album that invented three genres
A 1969 experiment as ambitious as the moon landing.
‘Death Valley 69’: Lydia Lunch’s deathly “happy pop song”
“I have far more malignant material than that”.
‘I Can’t Stand It’: Proto-punk, poetry, and the world of Beth Anderson
A fearlessly original figure.
Gray: The New York experimental band founded by Jean-Michel Basquiat
A lesser-known part of his work.
Post-punk personified: Lydia Lunch on the song that captured the “disaffected youth” of the 1970s
“The charisma of Richard Hell, the psychosis of Robert Quine…”
