I had never heard of this band but i casually found this while looking for an old Mojo magazine interview with Thurston.Anyone know the band in question?
Artist: NOTEKILLERS Title: 1977-1981 Format: CD Label: Ecstatic Peace Country: USA Price: $13.00 "The Notekillers were a Philadelphia based band between the years of 1977 ­ 1981. They were a nowave guitar/drums, instrumental band that had one amazing self released 7" in 1978, "The Zipper" b/w "Clock Wise". They played in NYC a couple of times, most memorably opening for Glen Branca, which is how they came to the attention of Ecstatic Peace. A few years back, Sonic Youths / Ecstatic Peaces Thurston Moore was asked to make a fantasy mix tape for Mojo magazine. He included the song "The Zipper", saying, "It was one of those records that resonated fully with all of us at the time - a genuine hybrid of radical approach (ayler/pistols!)" This rock based group from the age of punk rock and disco featured talented musicians that had two main goals. The first was to experiment; to push their combined abilities to uncommon results. The second was that their efforts should be able to follow any record on their turntable, whether it be reggae, rock, acoustic or punk and the influences would be evident while maintaining their own driving rock sound. This new release from Ecstatic Peace includes the song that started it all, "The Zipper" and its B-Side, "Clock Wise", the never released single, "Run Dont Stop" b/w "Juggernauts" and eleven tracks taken from 2-track reels, dusty cassettes and an actual 8-track cartridge." - Ecstatic Peace. |
