Yeah, he played keyboards in The Del-Byzanteens. Phil Kline, from Glenn Branca's guitar orchestra, played guitar. I think John Lurie, who is also in the "Sons of Lee Marvin", was also in the band. Never heard anything by them though.

I read this while Wiki jumping and I couldn't have said it better myself...

Quote:

No Wave continues to have a far-reaching impact on the American anti-culture music scene. In a foreword to the book No Wave, Weasel Walter wrote of the movement's ongoing influence,

I began to express myself musically in a way that felt true to myself, constantly pushing the limits of idiom or genre and always screaming "**** You!" loudly in the process. It's how I felt then and I still feel it now. The ideals behind the (anti-) movement known as No Wave were found in many other archetypes before and just as many afterwards, but for a few years around the late 1970s, the concentration of those ideals reached a cohesive, white-hot focus.[5]

How is this liberating, good, or a template for "truer expression"?

From all the bands I managed to hear more outside of the "No New York", as in whole albums/compilations, my favorites are probably Mars and Theoretical Girls.

Also, Beirut Slump was a short lived off-project band of Lydia Lunch from the late 70's, with an underground film-maker Vivienne Dik, Jim Sclavunos and Liz and Bobby Swope. Apparently, they had only three shows and released one 7" Bobby Berkowitz. I listened to eight of their songs from Lunch's compilation album Hysterie and oh boy,...they're great. They have a much darker, slower and heavier sound than Teenage Jesus and the Jerks that reminds me a little of The Birthday Party.

The Ascension by Glenn Branca really is fabulous.
